What are you drinking, Lemmy? Memorial Day weekend edition
What are you drinking, Lemmy? Memorial Day weekend edition
I'm kicking off a long weekend with a paper plane with one oz of cognac added. Perfect.
Has anyone tried Frapin 1270, their entry level congac? I have the namesake perfume and like it a lot, but that doesn't seem like a good enough reason to buy the booze.
Rosé lemonade.
It's been really hot lately and if you haven't tried it, it's shockingly refreshing especially if you use club soda to make a sparkling lemonade with some lemons and simple.
If I'm feeling extra sweet a splash of elderflower and fallernum isn't unwelcome either.
Tej, tej and more tej. Recently became obsessed with this delicious Ethiopian honey wine and I picked up a case on a trip. I wonder how it would work in a cocktail like a brown derby or other honey flavored drinks, but I'm too busy sipping it on a warm evening to even try mixing it with anything yet.
Whiskey sours today. No egg white, just simple syrup, lemon, whiskey. Finishing with a splash of bourbon in a bottle of topo chico.
Funny exchange with the bartender at Outback. "whiskey sour please". "We are out of sour mix, I'm sorry.". "Can you make one with lemon juice and simple and whiskey?" "Oh, I guess, is that ok?"
Had a couple of mocktails at a friend's place over the holiday. The fake Campari is really good, everything else is pretty meh.
They did make a good NA bicycle thief spritz. With grapefruit seltzer and NA versions of gin and Campari.
