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

Home Bar Inventory

December 4, 2015July 10, 2018 ~ Kate ~ Leave a comment

My home bar has kind of exploded recently so I took advantage of my home bartender/boyfriend being out of town and decided to inventory and organize my spirits. I still haven't found an app that does quite what I want, though I feel like it MUST exist. In a perfect world, I would scan the … Continue reading Home Bar Inventory

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.
