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 got it in Liechtenstein. Was in a London dry style. Quite nice. I think they went out of biz.

I’m an equal opportunity cocktailian.

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.

Have you ever watched “The Walking Dead?!” A distiller would need to fortify their distillery from zombie mobs. Plus, speaking as an economist, trade lines & supply chains are very shaky during apocalypses. I’d rather have my tins in a bag and raid abandoned Costcos

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.

There isn't much of a demand for Latin teachers in New York. A good live man who can open clams and mix up cocktails makes eight times as much money.--[New York Express.

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

PUNCH! PUNCH!! PUNCH!!! On July 21st, 2025 from 5:00-5:30 PM at Latitude 29, New Orleans, Dr. David Wondrich will offer for auction two (2) signed hard- cover copies of the first and only edition of his seminal 2010 book, Punch, or the Delights and Dangers of the Flowing Bowl. Now OUT OF PRINT, Punch—still the definitive history of that foundational beverage—is increasingly hard to find. The proceeds (well, all except the cost of a couple of Sazeracs) will go to NOLA’s own Turning Tables, dedicated to helping the city’s actual residents find good jobs in its many fine restaurants and bars. (link below) Auctioneer: Mr. Wayne Curtis Come on down!

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 🤌

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

#CocktailHour

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!
