Yeah, been raining like crazy. Can’t say I’m as bold as this man! Looking forward to getting back out there on 4 wheels instead of 2.

Extracts in Cocktails

I’m not really sure how I hadn’t realize or thought of this before, but I’m pretty excited about experimenting with extracts in cocktails. Many liqueurs are made with extracts, or use some extraction process in the making of their liqueur, so why not go straight to the source? I’m all for buying high quality liqueurs and spirits if they’re unique, but if I’m just trying to replicate a particular flavor or scent, sometimes simple is best!

Simple Syrups

I love efficiency, particularly when it tastes good. Cleaning out the fridge today and aging herbs make great simple syrups.

Rainy but ready!

Rainy? Who cares! It’s not 20 degrees and freezing. Time to suite up!

Taking it Back

Time, for a moment, to respect the history and lineage of the scooter! Mine is new, or relatively new, but doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the classics!

Fidencio Mezcal

There are (at least) 2 categories of bottles on my personal bar: Stand-alone drinks, and cocktail ingredients. Often times, a bottle services as both. For example, I could easily drink Gran Clasico straight, but also primarily use it as an ingredient for cocktails. Occasionally, a bottle finds its way to my shelf that only falls in one. Today, that bottle is Fidencio Clasico. Some souls braver than I will whole-heartedly disagree, and insist on the pleasures of sipped mezcal. I, on the other hand, am less likely to do so. That doesn’t mean a small barspoon of Fidencio won’t completely change the nature of a cocktail, though.
