There are a lot of goofy events in the Winter Olympics, but my vote for #1 is short-track speed skating, especially the relay.

I don’t really know what I expect in posting this, but maybe some people see it and can learn from it.

I’ll call it β€œlessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.”

Because this was my first attempt at clarification, I kept it simple and free of expensive ingredients. But it was pretty straightforward. So next time I think I’ll step up to a Paper Plane.

Verdict on these things:

They were pretty great. Came out very clear and looked beautiful over a big rock.

Texture/mouthfeel/body was killer.

Hides the alcohol. They were boozy as hell. I had two, which was a mistake.

A little too sweet for my taste, would cut down the simple syrup next time.

You don't wanna see what it looks like in Boston.

But at least we have a team in the game.

Whiskey sour. Wanted to try it out without wasting any fancy ingredients. It actually went without a hitch. So next time, I think I'll clarify a Paper Plane.

That's what I needed. But made do with a fine strainer and some cheesecloth!

Haha, no. And I kind of wish I do this morning - it's snowing again.

Anyhow, for shaken cocktails, I like to use something strong (100 proof) and high-rye. This fits the bill; happy to entertain an alternative.

For Old Fashioneds and other stirred drinks, I use Elijah Craig Small Batch.
