What are you drinking right now?

Thank god for boxes/tins that nice scotches come in. Was transporting several very nice scotches (bunna 21, macallan 18, etc), and when opening the back of my car, they fell out - a good 3-4 foot drop onto concrete... boxes were broken, tins damaged, but the bottles survived. Whew. Heart definitely dropped for a second.

Really dig it. Think it feels a bit delicate overall, but that may be weighed against the higher proof juice I've had of late.

Tried my hand at a Penicillin for the first time. Not bad. Went with Loch Lomond 12 as the base and Corryvreckan rinse as I figured the Corry's pepper might complement the ginger. Will try without any Islay next time as the peat gives it a slight twang

It's one of my favorites to order when I'm out, but I've never worked up the energy to try one at home...

It wasn't actually too difficult; the only step requiring a bit of effort is making a ginger syrup. I ground up a few chunks of ginger in the blender then squeezed them in my aeropress, add sugar, and voila. I now have enough ginger syrup to never worry about syphilis again

Pool beer. Air 96, water 82. About right.

Minute Maid fruit punch. Because I'm still in the "not yet" phase of OR recovery. I intend to have a cocktail or two next weekend. Til then, we're on cola, fruit juice, and I guess water now and then.

Adoro Negronis

I think the Negroni oversaturation has abated and I’m ready to return… 😬

The color is magical, even if they don't use crushed up ladybugs anymore...

One downside of barrel-aged Negroni is that the color isn't quite as vibrant. They're so damn good though...

Repost from the past...

My first Negroni on my first day in Italy. ( not my first Negroni, but first there )
I had to show the maintenance guy at my hotel bar how to make one.
He was covering the bar, because the bartender had an accident and was in the hospital.

"I'd like a Negroni".............."how do you make that, sir?"
