So, whatcha drinking

I like to make cocktails and since we’re stuck at home, I decided to start inventing cocktails. Here is an aptly named one:

Covid Survivor Cocktail

2 oz bourbon (I used Old Forester 1870)
1 oz Martel cognac
1 oz Bacardi 8 yr rum
2 oz fresh squeezed orange juice
1/2 to 3/4 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
1 tsp Freeman’s Cherry Bitters
2 cm* of Bitterman’s Habanero shrub

*The Habanero Shrub comes with a dropper. I filled the dropped to about 2 cm and added it to the cocktail.

Shake 20-30 seconds in a Boston shaker and strain into a highball glass. Garnish with 2 bourbon soaked Amarena cherries* on a toothpick.

*To make these buy Trader Joe’s Amarena cherries, pour off half the juice and add the same volume of a decent bourbon and refrigerate.

Kibs..... ROFLMAO

After homeschooling the kid this past two weeks, my stocking up on school supplies includes a stop in the beer/wine/liquor section of the store... Hey, don't judge.

Some good O'l H2o

Fresh brewed iced tea

Heady Topper - double ipa.
Supper in a can!!

milk and fresh made brownies

Chemex light roast

Home made apple pie. Straight from the jar.

frosty diet pepsi

A simple sweet moscato

That reminds me that we've had more than one person tell us about a Pickleback - Shot of Jameson followed by a shot of dill pickle juice. It's interesting, but for me definitely falls into the "Just because we can doesn't mean we should" category.

A sourpuss-vodka and pickle juice

Tried a Braggot last night, honey Meade plus a pale ale.... Meh, it was ok, not my flavor of choice but fun to try

what ever kibbs is

Bubbly water. Peach flavor.

Chaucer's Meade, chilled and spiced

Jack Daniels again

Buffalo Trace

Beer with tequila shots...that kind of night

Thanksgiving special: 2 parts Rivulet, 2 parts sweet potato syrup, 4 parts apple cider, 1/2 part lemon juice. Shake with ice, serve on the rocks. It’s what keeps me in the holiday spirit, or at least the holiday spirits in me!
