My research so far

September 12, 2013 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

When I first found out abuot this trip, I did what any normal person would do - I started a spreadsheet of booze research. What, you don't do that? You should. I store it in the same folder as my home brewing notes.I've neglected it a bit so need to do some last minute cramming … Continue reading My research so far

Drinking in Context

Okay, so my long term goal here is to talk about booze. But specifically, making an effort to experience beer, booze, and cocktails differently based on context. I know from experience that a gin and tonic can be more than just a drink, it can be an experience. While I've had plenty of G&Ts on … Continue reading Drinking in Context

Just a normal Friday night, toasting a freshly made @talisker marshmallow. Find me, get candy! We’ll travel the world to support good people and these folks are the best! We decided on this short getaway mostly because Vegas has sunshine and @silverstamplv - and enjoyed both thoroughly. An @angelsenvy Vieux Carre as a nightcap here in Las Vegas. This is not a phoned in cocktail - delicious! Just a few highlights from our dinner @bazaarbyjose here in Las Vegas. This ticked a few things off the culinary bucket list for sure. And mad respect for the Somm who came over after @_cmikk ordered a bottle (!) of Manzanilla sherry with dinner and asked if we knew what we were getting into. (We did, and we loved it. Also…sherry bottle list!!) I am so excited that @usbgmsp Iron Bartender is back! If you’re looking for something to do on the next three Sunday evenings, head over to @amsterdambar651 to cheer on local bartenders and raise money for Project Black and Blue. Three+ months of trial and (mostly) error to make these damn marshmallows. As soon as we had a Pink Squirrel @bryantslounge last summer, I knew it had to be a marshmallow. But trial after trial turned out goopy or “short” (imagine a circus peanut). We’re pretty sure that the sugar content of the @tempus_fugit_spirits Noyaux and Cacao was throwing off the structure. This was annoying me so much that I bought a confectionery science textbook to see if I could figure it out. More ice cream adventures! Homemade cinnamon ice cream to go with Apple crisp made with a gluten free ginger snap topping. It’s so good.
