Booze of the Week
I know its been quite some time since I’ve posted a BotW but I assure you I didn’t stop drinking. I’ve just not been drinking anything new. Well, at the liquor store today I picked up a bottle of Jameson and a bottle of this. I’ll let you know what I think when I try it.
Update: Well, here’s the thing. It ain’t bad but it ain’t great. Elija Craig is a bit sweeter than some of the other bourbons I’ve had but is not quite as flavorful. So if you like sweeter liquors then you might just give this one a go. Maker’s Mark is still at the top of my bourbon list.
Girlie Drink of the Week
I know, I know….it has been quite a while since I posted a girlie drink. First it was Lent, then it was Life. But this morning I was slumming trolling through the New York Times, and found a most delish recipe to try. Usually I try first, then post about it, but I figured I would do it backwards, because I can.
THE BRAMBLE
2 ounces gin
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
1/2 ounce simple syrup*
1/2 ounce crème de mûre (fancy for blackberry liqueur)
Shake first three ingredients over ice, serve on crushed ice. Drizzle the crème over it and garnish with berries.
*Mix equal measures of hot water and sugar, cool to room temperature and store in refrigerator until ready to use.
Now, personally, I am not the gin type, but I have found the Rangpur gin to be very smooth, so I may use that instead of regular gin. Also, I prefer raspberry liqueur to blackberry, so I may try that. Will keep you posted in the comments. Or add an update….whichever I am capable of doing at the time 
Booze of the Week
A bit of a change of pace around here, mostly due to the fucking heat …
I’m not generally a fan of fancy beer but this is some pretty damned good stuff.
Booze of the Week
I’m really liking the Irish Whiskey so I decided to spend some money.
Booze of the Week
Not exactly top shelf stuff, but I picked up a bottle on the recommendation of my liquor dealer.
Booze of the Week
I’m sorta reposting the Booze of the Week since my lame attempt at humor started more of a nostalgia trip than I imagined. I really didn’t know Boone’s Farm was the teen alcohol for everyone. No shit. I never thought it was so universal.
Anyway. Bushmills Irish Whiskey.
