The Libation Bearers: Vermouth julep

http://thelibationbearers.blogspot.com/2010/10/vermouth-julep.html

A diary of my ethanolic experiences. Saturday, October 9, 2010. For my second drink last night, I asked Rhiannon for another low-proof drink, and she served up a julep. How, you might say, is a julep low-proof with all that whiskey? Good point, but like I said in an earlier post, a julep is anything with a spirit, mint, sugar, and ice as its only ingredients. Rhiannon made me a vermouth julep. 2 oz Carpano Antica Formula vermouth. 1 tsp demarara syrup. Beauty can be expensive. October 13, 2010 at 9:14 AM.

The Libation Bearers: Coffee anyone?

http://thelibationbearers.blogspot.com/2010/11/coffee-anyone.html

A diary of my ethanolic experiences. Monday, November 22, 2010. Some time ago, I asked Rhiannon to surprise me with something old she's been thinking about, and she delivered the Coffee Cocktail. Which was first described in Jerry Thomas's work of 1882. 2 oz ruby port. 2 tsp sugar syrup. Shake egg yolk and syrup; then add other ingredients and shake again with a few pieces of ice. Strain into a glass mug, and grate fresh nutmeg on top. November 23, 2010 at 1:16 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Libation Bearers: Berber bitters

http://thelibationbearers.blogspot.com/2011/04/berber-bitters.html

A diary of my ethanolic experiences. Sunday, April 10, 2011. In a previous post. I mentioned my first attempt at homemade bitters. The incarnated concoction was, at once, haphazard and finely tuned. The haphazard came at the beginning; the fine tuning came at the end. Let me explain. A week before I left for Africa. I assembled a homemade Buchner vacuum filtration apparatus. After a little experimentation, I set my course and settled on this ratio:. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Pimms No. 1. MxMo: ...

http://thelibationbearers.blogspot.com/2010/07/widows-kiss.html

A diary of my ethanolic experiences. Saturday, July 3, 2010. Last week at Cure, I was in a very aromatic mood, so I ordered Ricky Gomez's Makeup. Because they were out of green Chartreuse (wait, I thought it contained yellow.), I decided to go with something which calls for yellow Chartreuse, a Widow's Kiss. 1 1/2 oz apple brandy. 3/4 oz yellow Chartreuse (you can use green if you like a little more intensity). 2 dashes Angostura bitters. Stir; strain; cocktail glass; marasca cherry. Pimms No. 1.

The Libation Bearers: First of May, or the Abbott City

http://thelibationbearers.blogspot.com/2011/05/first-of-may-or-abbott-city.html

A diary of my ethanolic experiences. Monday, May 2, 2011. First of May, or the Abbott City. To commemorate the First of May, 2011 (and 1945), I created this bittered sling variant:. 2 oz Death's Door white American whiskey. 2 barspoons honey syrup (equal parts honey and water). 2 barspoons Campari, floated. Stir the whiskey and honey with ice, then float the Campari, for effect. Serve with a stirrer and a lemon twist. White whiskey because it's clear and American. Honey syrup because it's oh, so sweet.

A diary of my ethanolic experiences. Tuesday, May 3, 2011. New Loves Cocktail Party, Part 1: the Bramble. A couple of months ago, I had the pleasure of preparing some cocktails for a party hosted by my good friend Kori. Originally, the party was to be held on St. Valentine's day, but, because I had other things to do. In the next few weeks (or less), I'll introduce eleven drinks I served to a thirsty gathering last February 18. 2 oz London dry gin (Plymouth). 1 oz fresh lemon juice. 1/2 oz creme de mûre.

http://thelibationbearers.blogspot.com/2010/08/art-of-choke.html

A diary of my ethanolic experiences. Monday, August 2, 2010. I have had a few great drinking experiences. One came at the Violet Hour. Where I met Kyle Davidson and Stephen Cole, two of the best mixologists and most gracious hosts I've had the pleasure of meeting. One of Kyle's signature drinks (along with the Goodbye Marie [a.k.a The Davidson]) is the. This is one of those inspired creations that rises above (way above) all those newfangled drinks to the level of modern classic. This is. 1 oz white rum.

A diary of my ethanolic experiences. Sunday, July 18, 2010. A friend asked me for a. Tonight, but I told her I thought that was boring, especially since I made her a Mojito the last time she was at my house. The carbonated water in the Mojito reminded me of the Eastside, which. Introduced me to the other day. It's essentially a.

The Libation Bearers: Pimm's Highball Smash

http://thelibationbearers.blogspot.com/2010/07/pimms-highball-smash.html

A diary of my ethanolic experiences. Saturday, July 31, 2010. I wanted something light and clean that I could drink this afternoon without alcoholic after-effects, so I turned to a couple of new acquisitions. First, my dear friends Matt and Michele generously gave me a soda siphon for no reason whatsoever. That was awesome. Second, I bought a couple of bottles of bitters from the Bitter Cube. 2 oz Pimm's No. 1 liqueur. 1/2 teaspoon demarara syrup. 2 dashes Bitter Cube lemon tree bitters. Pimms No. 1.
