Today I had an Elder Fashioned - 2oz gin, 0.5oz St. Germain, two dashes of orange bitters, stirred and strained on the rocks. The recipe calls for a grapefruit twist, but I used a lemon twist because I lacked a grapefruit.

Cherry Cobbler, essentially a Sidecar riff.

  • 1 oz. brandy
  • 1 oz. cherry brandy (I didn’t have kirsch, so I used Cherry Heering)
  • 1/2 oz. triple sec
  • 1/2 oz. lemon juice

Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

My binge of wretched excess has ended. The Tanq 10 has run dry. Red cap Bombay and Dolin, 3:1 with a Castelvetrano olive.

Water, iced tea and 1/2 of a can of Canada Dry No Sugar ginger ale.

That’s a pretty cocktail.

Old fashioneds, made with Milam and Greene’s new Provisions bourbon. It is a delightful rarity, a bourbon made by a small, craft distillery that is not a super high cask strength whiskey that will knock you on your ass if you have a second one. It is even priced well.

We had a surplus of limes, so :drum::drum::drum:

Milagro margaritas à la mon choux.

Since I’m not allowed to drink alcohol because of my recent hospital adventures. Sticky sweet AND herbally bitter all at once.
