A Gin Gimlet made with Bombay Gin, Bitters, Lime Juice, Simple Syrup, ice.
The dry, hot winds stiffen my joints.

Now that the clock is safely past 5:00 PM, a Pink Gin with Tanqueray, Angostura Bitters, and a slice of lime peel. Two small ice cubes. Just the thing on a warm evening.

A Bombay Sapphire Martini with two green and one oil cured black olive. Cinzano Dry Vermouth. Two small ice cubes.
Some days, there is a need for Martinis. No often but some.

Opened a bottle of my homemade Amarone style red wine. Only 7 or 8 months old but it was pretty good. Great intense fruit flavor.
At first, it was very astringent and a little bitter on the finish, but after several sips, it was fine.
I'll wait to the 1 year point and try it again.

A year of aging should help it develop. Two years would be better. I know how hard it is to wait. |

I must try myself some of that. Never have and it's a shame, since the Bushmills brewery is 4 minutes away from me. |

Hope to make Mai-Tais this afternoon. Nothing says America like a fruity Rum drink with a parasol and cherry in it. Ask Trader Vic Bergeron.
Edit: They could be made with Bourbon, I bet it would be good.

I had a shot of Bakers Bourbon last night. It is not that tasty when first opened, but after it's had a couple of weeks with some air in the bottle it's amazing.

Is that common with some bourbons and other alcohol, Ron? Don’t try it with beer!😝 In my opinion it is pretty common. Old Granddad only has a slight improvement, but other Bourbons seem to like a little air to mellow them out. I haven't noticed it with scotch or Irish whiskys. Sherry and port are smoother and more complex with a few days of air too. |

I need to find someone who works at the brewery and see if they can get me staff discount. |

Good point. I should have noticed my error. Always good to have someone to keep me in check. 😉

Had a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon with a steak tonight. A bottle of 2014 Lange Twins (Lodi) that I must have purchased at a Friar Tuck.
It had mellowed out very nicely.
