I can’t be the only drunk on a Thursday night. Where in the hell is everyone?

Too drunk to post.

Has anyone here tried Shaker and Spoon?

Another Paloma.

My local Mexican joint had a big sign out front today, Margaritas to Go!

Why, yes, I think I will, with a shot of Patron on top.

Egg white? Thinking about doing that as I enjoy egg white cocktails even though I dislike eating eggs. 

Got a bag of Sonic ice and made some mint juleps last night. Such awesome flavor from such a simple drink. 2 oz Angels' Envy, 4 sprigs mint, 2 sugar cubes muddled into the mint and a splash of water, and 2 dashes bitters. Might be my favorite tasting cocktail 

[Wanker Bob 379]

Went back to the julep well

[Redneck Mutha 7956]

Gallon of to go margaritas from Fri being finished tonight. Mixed in a sazerac, an eagle rare old fashioned, and an EHTSB last night. 

Been searching Amazon for julep cups, think I'll be hitting those next weekend, since I think that was supposed to be derby weekend?  So might be hitting up sonic or maybe spring for a Lewis bag to ensure good ice.

My favorite bar in Lisbon (Cafe Klandestino) is starting to deliver via Uber in Lisbon.  They posted their menu.  They are doing a Brown Butter Negroni.  They do that with a Brown Butter infused gin. I found out how to do that, and another bartender recommends using Citadelle.  Come to find out, Citadelle does a barrell aged gin, which I think might go well with an infusion of brown butter.  What say you?

[Wanker Bob 379]

Bottled in Bond in Frisco does (did?) a brown butter infused gin cocktail that was good. Can't remember exactly what it was since the last time I was there feels like years ago now. 

[PenelopeWitherspoon 19101]

I got a bottle of beefeater and did the infusion last night. We will see how it goes.

Been looking to incorporate a port into a cocktail since I love a good tawny. Made a port old fashioned with:

2 oz Rumble 

1 oz Port

. 5 oz maple syrup 

4 dashes of bitters

I dig it. Tastes like Coca-Cola

Have you had it before? If you don't enjoy the taste of black licorice save your money.

I've been lazy with the garnishments and presentation on my drinks since I'm just making them for myself but kudos on your work here. I dig it

I have. I wouldn't drink it straight but love the complexity of it in cocktails.

my better half would be interested to know this method of infusing gin with brown butter.

she also recommends the Barrel Aged Big Gin over the Citadelle.

it's all good over ice, just a sip at a time

[ss13 1832]

Tip jar is an interesting touch.

Joined Shaker and Spoon, just to give it a try. Pretty impressed so far with the service, you use your favorite liquor and they provide the components. First cocktail is tasty as fuck.

I see you went with the Four Roses Single Barrel. Well done.

Yes, yes I did. I have Blanton's and Willett, but saving those for non-cocktail drinking.

[ss13 1832]

Will you ever have someone to drink them with?

I am fucking great.  I think it is funny that you think that women have to have a man in their life to be successful or feel good about themselves.  Says a lot more about you than it does about me.

And my assessment of you last night was correct.  You are still a cunt.  Fuck off.

Grand Ascension. It's a fancy margarita. Equal parts (one ounce) strawberry syrup (I made my own), fresh lime juice, tequila, Grand Marnier. I garnished with salt and chile powder.

[Redneck Mutha 7956]

Today I've gone with:

1 lime

2.5 oz tequila

1.25 oz dry curacao

a tispsquirt (unmeasured, totally random amount depending on my mood) of agave nectar 

put in shaker and shake til your hand is too cold to touch your veenah, pour in salt-rimmed glass, enjoy

Last day of the year and one of the few photos I managed to take before consuming the contents was this shot from last night. I don't set the stage very well so apologies for the tired looking limes, the paper towel, and the thirty year old wedding glassware but we did enjoy the contents: Empress Gin, tonic, and lime juice. Cheers! We may try a Mr. Snowman tonight if I get into the kitchen to make the clove syrup. If so, I'll try and up my presentation game...
