Now that craft cocktails are becoming more and mor ubiquitous, I feel like I am encountering more & more “good cocktails,” but less & less great ones.

Trying to make a Doe’s Chilli Dog at home. I think they bake the entire hot dog in bun then add chili. Opinions? @SouthernAshBlog

Fascinating, but in retrospect obvious, cocktail experiment results:
When making a Martini with N/A gin (real vermouth) you cannot stir it to as cold a temp as with real gin.
With LONG stir, got the low-alcohol “Martini” to 31.2 F.
In half the time, real got to 25.8 F

These are not Pegu Club’s. These are @mixtressnyc Flatiron Lounge Sidecars. I‘d sit in FI’s basement night after night on my computer working on Pegu & these yummies kept me fortified & creative. We also wear emergency clown noses during stressful times. It is what it is.

The last two passes of our #feastofthesevenfishes - the Italian flag as a palate cleansing caprese salad and pitzelles with a fernet

As is our tradition, the secondi for the #feastofthesevenfishes is a pesce a la cartochio of cod cooked in a packet! #7fishes

The #feastofthesevenfishes #7fishes continues with our Primi. We focused on only two pastas this year with my grandfather’s favorite pasta a la vongole bianco and then the salmon stuffed baked shells both in the color of the Italian flag

The Mimosa is flat, flabby, disgusting drink. When made with pasteurized OJ & shitty sparkling wine, doubly so. Ingredients aside, it’s lazy & uninspired and gives me pause whenever I see it on a menu. Give me a F75 every day of the week.

Before heading to a work conference in Boise, I stopped into @MyloCoffeeCo for a bite. See you later this week Little Rock.

Any proper cocktail bar should be able to make something delicious that is non-alcoholic. Everyone who sits at the bartop is worthy of a well-made beverage, not just those imbibing.
@HungryBartender my wife can’t drink alcohol right now. What are the best things she can order at the bar so that she feels like she’s drinking something harder?

I will always drink hot coffee & hot tea, and eat hot soup, stew, etc. no matter the temperature out. I honestly don't care how hot it is. Maybe there is something wrong with me.
