Pizza & Bubbly #HappyWeekend

#WhiskeySour hour. Spiced it up with homemade ginger simple syrup. Super easy: cup sugar, cup water. Heat together. Finley chop hunk of fresh ginger about size of 3 fingers. Add to pot. Stir till sugar is dissolved. As soon as it comes to a boil, take off heat & cover for about 30. Finley strain.

#WhiskeySour but with #orgeat instead of simple syrup. Nutty, lemony, toasty, floral

I’d like to upgrade my 20 yr old #digitalscale to one that can measure to the tenth. Any recommendations? Looking for one that has a larger surface area that can fit large containers.

In addition to cocktails, I’m pursuing the art of baked breads. I figure that when the zombie apocalypse comes, people will fight to keep the cocktail and bread guy alive

Have you visited Manhattan lately? It’s glorious

It’s Monday, and I’m in vacation

And then it was Friday #WhiskeyAndSoda

#CocktailHour hath arrived. My mix: 2oz gin, 1/2 oz dry vermouth, dash orange bitters. Stir 10-15 secs. Strain into cocktail glass. Twist of lemon. #Martini

Once again, a respectable place, with experienced staff, a well-curated menu, and appealing decor ruined by a boob tube

Thanks for keeping my seat warm.

1880. I believe that this is still the case.

Today’s science lesson with the kids was directional freezing. They don’t know it yet, but they’re barbacks in training. Thanks @alcademics.bsky.social

Please allow me to bring your attention to the following, should you be in New Orleans on the 21st of this month.

Time for a spritz

Vodka & Soda with a dash of Peychaud’s and squeeze of lemon

Vodka & Tonic with a dash of Aperol 🤌

Dry-rubbed the ribs. In the fridge for an overnight sit. Scotch & Soda

This is why the Rickey is our official cocktail, DC! #AirConditioningInAGlass

There are essential cocktail tools like a good shaker & mixing glass, but ice tends to be an afterthought. Get good ice molds! You’ll have more consistent results. They will dilute better. Ice is an ingredient in EVERY cocktail!

And then it was the weekend and the pizza and Martinis overfloweth

Pimm’s it is

The great thing about hiking in #Switzerland is that they never compromise. At the top, there’s always a proper drink and meal. #Rösti mit Speck und Spiegelei

Who wants to try one?

Greetings from #Liechtenstein!

This just in: Cocktail Hour hath arrived

This is pretty darn good

Sometimes you overestimate

Note to self: add a dash of cardamom bitters along with Ango to Manhattans. Phenomenal

Unicorns, roses & Manhattans #LivingTheSuburbanDadLife

Just serendipitously discovered that the St. Regis DC has a daily bubbly sabering

Sundaying with some tunes & a Manhattan

When it’s after 6

Did you know the Capitol Dome is referred to as the Punchbowl? A while back I got a rare opportunity to scale up to the top.

Did you not get the memo? It’s cocktail hour

Kentucky Derby pre-game with a Whiskey Sour

If there was an official event inaugurating the opening of warm weather imbibing, it’s pretty hard to beat the Kentucky Derby. And there’s nothing better to open the season than the letter from Simon Buckner in 1937 explaining how the Mint Julep is not a formula but a ceremony.

It’s officially a four olive Friday

Attended a lunch on trade today @distilledspirits.bsky.social and found this gem on the wall.

Very happy about my new tie

I baked a cake. Therefore, I get a Martini

Warm weather calls for outdoor happy hour. 🍹

One of the best things about Easter are the egg salad sammies
