Cold brew on ice. With simple syrup and some milk. Easy peasy.

Roasted ice is delicious, though. Mmm.

Nah it could mean precocious. I learned to read by 3 and tested with a ridiculous high IQ at 7 but as an adult I feel quite average, related better with adults as a child but relate well with adults as an adult too.

Wrapping it up with a sidecar variation.

2oz cognac (ABK6)

1oz Giffard Abricot

1 oz Heirloom Pineapple Amaro

1oz lemon juice

Shaken. I had one, then a half one, that's it for the week, back to work tomorrow. Really delicious, cognac and apricot really have an affinity.

My usual breakfast is cafe con leche.

My favorite breakfast is a big fryup, eggs, good homemade sourdough toast, home fries, and spicy refried beans. There isn't one best food in there, it needs all of them.

Runner-up grits with butter, cheese, and nutritional yeast, topped with a fried egg.

A margarita for Saturday. Gonzalez Reposado, orange liqueur, lime and a spoonful of roasted pineapple syrup.

I do agree. You can't run the world economy like a pyramid scheme. Not sure there are "too many people" or just technology lag, and I don't believe EVERYTHING is zero sum (we have increased efficiency in a lot of ways, and solar energy & nuclear don't seem like they use as many resources as they provide) but easier on the earth if we don't have as many.

I am not sure it's even an unpopular opinion, though.

"blueberry, I think" sounds like one of those satirical La Croix flavors, "sat next to a banana", or "memory of strawberry"

Whiskey with a whiskey float! I don't usually like old fashioned but that actually sounds good. The soda water would help me taste it, not just be overwhelmed with sweet and booze.

Average 0.16 USD per kwh if I divide the whole bill by the KWH.

Our bill is pretty high but literally everything runs on electricity in the house, the cooking, water heating, A/C, we have clothes washer & dryer, there is no gas line.

 

What are you drinking? I had a whiskey sour with Jameson at a bar, as part of our "world's slowest bar crawl" we've been doing, trying all the bars at a local shopping and dining center. Pretty good. The place had a very good playlist though, when we walked in they were playing Joy Division, then Vampire Weekend, then Boz Scaggs! It was all over the place but good.

I would be happier if plastic surgery, instead of always being aimed at making people closer to all the same, was used to make us look different. Elf ears, horns, tails, big noses, different shaped faces, neanderthal brow lines, creative changes. That is the style I'd like to see happen.

Also, since I'm in Florida, fancy parasols.

That sounds pretty good to me. Though I would prefer crushed peppers, jalapenos, or Salsa Yucateca, Tabasco is a little too sour. Why do you care? Are you literally gatekeeping her pizza?

Dunno, I think a fake radio show inside a podcast is media inside a different media. But yes it's the whole thing, and a favorite.

 

2 oz bourbon

1 oz heirloom pineapple amaro

1/2 oz roasted pineapple syrup

1 oz fresh lemon

Shake shake shake!

This was a delightful article and the drink sounds great.

 

I want to see the winning entry!

 

My husband's work friend gave him 2 ripe homegrown ripe guava this week, so Guava margaritas. This is:

2 oz Tequila Ocho claro.

1 oz lime

1/2 oz orange liqueur (passion fruit would be better but I'm out)

About 1/4 cup guava flesh muddled with quite a bit of sugar, maybe 1.5 TBSP? Guava has lovely flavor but is not very sweet.

Shake all together and double strain over ice, splash of Topo Chico.

It's really good!

 

Has anyone here tried aloe liqueur? The rest of this I have, but aloe juice is so yucky, like the idea of mezcal and raspberry.

 

The 1600 cocktail. The website hosting the recipe seems to be offline but it's from East Imperial Tonic Water.

50ml / 1 ¾ oz Premium Aged Rum.

5ml / ⅙ oz Orgeat.

15ml / ½ oz Cold Brew Coffee.

150ml / 5 oz East Imperial Grapefruit Tonic.

Fresh Orange Slice.

Stirred everything but the soda (I used a spoonful of tonic syrup and 150ml of Fever Tree grapefruit soda) and no I can't measure 5ml of orgeat, just poured as little as I could.

It's a lot better than it sounds, honestly. The coffee makes it. And hello to the 1,600 of you!

This is a weird one. I was feeling experimental today, made one drink that went straight down the drain (fresh OJ & lemon, vodka, absinthe, St. Germaine, don't ask) but this I am enjoying, tart, smoky, bitter. Sort of a margarita variation.

1.5oz blanco tequila

.5 each of

Tawny port

Mezcal

Aperol

Lemon juice

Shaken with not too much ice, served over big ice. I think next time no lemon (port tart enough), stir not shake and crushed ice, but the flavors are working.

Sorry for the fuzzy picture, the cat says hi!

And does anyone have a good absinthe orange flavor cocktail? I don't think the fresh juice works with it.

 

I'm having a margarita with Gonzales Reposado. Yum.

 

Not July anymore, I'm having a drink before dinner, just thrown together with what looked good.

3 big sweet blackberries

2oz bourbon

1 oz orange liqueur

1/2 oz vanilla liqueur

1/2 oz lemon juice

Muddled then shook with ice.

Honestly could be a little sweeter. Blackberries are never as sweet as they seem. It's a one and done but if trying again, would muddle the fruit with sugar and then halve the orange liqueur, to get a more vanilla flavor. I was afraid of overdoing it.

 

For August, create a cocktail with Aperol.
