Drinking the Bounty: White Onions

July 20, 2016July 10, 2018 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

Onions. You guys, he made a cocktail with onions. AND IT WAS GOOD. The only thought process to share on this one is that Chris knew he didn't want to add sugar so he muddled a thin slice of onion straight into the lime juice. Aquavit brought some complementary flavors like caraway to the party … Continue reading Drinking the Bounty: White Onions

Drinking the Bounty: Strawberries!!

June 19, 2016July 6, 2016 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

I. Love. Strawberries. I think I single handedly kept the strawberry seller in business at the farmer's market by my office. Quarts and quarts! Some went into popsicles, some went into milkshakes, some went on top of ice cream, some went in my mouth. Well, you get the idea. While the market berries had shown … Continue reading Drinking the Bounty: Strawberries!!

Drinking the Bounty: Baby Beet Stems

June 14, 2016 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

We expected this to be a tough challenge. We knew there would come a week when we would look at our amazing array of produce from Featherstone Farm and thing "there is no way any of this will make a tasty cocktail." We'd be tempted to cheat - maybe by using something from the farmer's … Continue reading Drinking the Bounty: Baby Beet Stems

Drinking the Bounty – Rhubarb

June 6, 2016June 7, 2016 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

Chris and I got our first CSA box last Thursday, a small bonus box as a thank you for signing up for all three seasons of the Featherstone Farm CSA. Signing up for three seasons means we are heading into nearly eight months of fresh produce! We chose Featherstone because they came highly recommended by … Continue reading Drinking the Bounty – Rhubarb

Home Cocktail Ice

June 5, 2016July 10, 2018 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

Chris has been making cocktail ice at home for a while now, using a cooler to keep the sides from crystallizing too much and allow the top of the ice block to stay clear. I caught him pulling a fresh batch out this evening. He has to trim off the thin bottom edges (saved for … Continue reading Home Cocktail Ice

Drinking at Home: Marshmallow Vodka, Two Ways

October 12, 2015October 12, 2015 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

I ended up visiting two distilleries, two breweries, and a cocktail bar this weekend and I should be posting about those. But since apparently the first few snow flakes fell today, I'm postponing the epic weekend post for the perfect winter booze project - marshmallow vodka, two ways. These days it seems like you can … Continue reading Drinking at Home: Marshmallow Vodka, Two Ways

When life gives you crystallized honey, make honey syrup. When life gives you honey syrup, make The Bee's Knees.http://postprohibition.com/recipes/bees-knees/

Last night, @_cmikk was out @thepotstill for a final Glasgow nightcap and got mistaken for @teapotoneinsta - yeah, I can see it. @_cmikk picked up a surprise guest shift @charliebrowns_bar - making a drink for @zsapato This is a vacation highlight for sure! https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cy_7ySoMj-8/ https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cy_7dvWL-Jr/ Why I love traveling - last night our Russian speaking Estonian bartender got into an excited conversation with a Bulgarian while we gave bar tips to someone from Tampa who is headed to Athens (where we’ve never been but had my 50 Best list plus memories of our London friend’s trip there). We should be an hour into our flight from ATL to BCN right now, but weather in the Pacific Northwest caused our flight from MSP to be delayed and we missed the connection. On the plus side, now we have time for food and drinks @oneflewsouthatl - a fine dining restaurant in an airport. Doing some last minute planning/organization for our upcoming trip to Barcelona, and as I look at bar hours…I’m quickly realizing that we’re going to have to shift into night owls real fast. It’s data nerd Christmas!!! The 2023 list of #worlds50bestbars was announced by @50bestbars today, live from Singapore. Lots of movers and shakers, and a few surprises (good and bad). Vieux Carre with @oldduffgenever Maltwine standing in for Rye.
