Where am I?
17.02.2026 18:51 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0There are a lot of goofy events in the Winter Olympics, but my vote for #1 is short-track speed skating, especially the relay.
16.02.2026 16:36 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Also, what a di*k.

Iβll call it βlessons from an unwilling immigration attorney.β

09.02.2026 04:29 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Because 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 Iβll step up to a Paper Plane.
09.02.2026 04:19 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Verdict 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.
Hot take

But at least we have a team in the game.

The questions answers itself.
I used to play.
08.02.2026 02:11 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Whiskey 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.
07.02.2026 20:35 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0That's what I needed. But made do with a fine strainer and some cheesecloth!

07.02.2026 15:14 β π 1 π 1 π¬ 2 π 0Haha, 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.
