MxMo: The Final Chapter
MxMo: The Final Chapter
After a hiatus, we’ve returned for the final Mixology Monday. It is with a touch of sadness and understanding that we send this booze blog tradition into the long dark night. After almost 11 years of loving stewardship from Paul Clarke, Fred Yarm and other wonderful folks, Fred has decided the time has come to lay things to rest. In Fred’s words: …..the mourning process with the Boston bartenders…

Hot Stuff
The cold weather is upon us here in Seattle. Well, cold weather for us at least, and we did get snow so that counts, right? Anyhow, with the temperature dropping we decided to dig through all of our posts on warm or hot drinks and do a little roundup, as well as play around with a new creation. (more…)

Lazy Nog
It’s the time of year again for eggnog. As we’ve posted before, you definitely want to age your nog. In addition to just the eggs and booze, you want to age the dairy as well. That said, the recipe we use is a bit of a pain in the butt. You have to separate eggs, whip the whites and yolks separately as well as some cream, and then carefully fold everything together. But is all of that necessary?…

MxMo: Brunch
It’s time again for Mixology Monday! This month’s theme comes from Gary over at Doc Elliot’s. Gary’s theme is brunch cocktails. Excellent! We love brunch and cocktails. However Gary gave an important stipulation, “No fizzy wine“. Even better! We love fizzy wine cocktails as much as the next folks, but that’s a great constraint. So we set out to see what we could come up with. (more…)

Carbonation revisted
A while back we played around with carbonating drinks using one of the home soda makers. It worked reasonably well and we were pretty happy with the results. However, those things aren’t really meant for cocktails; in fact, the directions specifically tell you not to put in things like fruit juice. We of course disregarded that, because cocktails without fruit juice would leave us pretty limited.…

4th Anniversary!!
We just passed our 4th anniversary of writing this blog! As always, we’re going to whip up some yummy cocktails to celebrate and we’re also going to talk a bit about what we’ve learned over the years. (more…)

MxMo: Let your nerd flag fly
MxMo: Let your nerd flag fly
It’s time again for Mixology Monday! This month’s theme comes from Rebecca at The Shrubbery (who makes exceedingly lovely shrubs by the way. You should definitely check them out.). Her theme this month is Drink Nerdy. Hmm, seems like something right up our alley. :D In her words: The thing that unites everyone who participates in MxMo is our love of of cocktails. We love the history, the alchemy,…

Root beer cocktails
We recently picked up some root beer from one of our local farmer’s market vendors, Rockridge Orchards & Cidery. We’ve had their apple juice and cider, both of which are quite tasty (we have yet to try their apple brandy, hopefully soon ;)). Their root beer came highly recommended, so we picked some up and were not disappointed. We haven’t come across many cocktails using root beer, and we like…

Boozy Slushies
We were recently offered a bottle of Fernet Branca and a bottle of Branca Menta (Samples Policy) and challenged to come up with with a couple of blended drinks. Normally, we’re just not fans of blended drinks. Too many associations with Slurpees and the cheapest grain alcohol that money can buy (usually not what we’re about around here, in case that wasn’t obvious ;)). But this particular…

MxMo: Alma Negra & Malt Shop
After a well deserved hiatus, Mixology Monday is back! This month’s theme comes from Adam of the Mr. Muddle blog. The theme this month is vinegar, which we’re very excited about. In Adam’s own words: For this month’s MxMo, let’s make the whole range of vinegary things fair game. And I’m not just talking about throwing some olive juice into a Martini. Making a balsamic glaze for your pork chops?…

Melon
Melon season has arrived. Usually when you think of melon in cocktails, you think of Midori. Which Christa doesn’t like, and Shaun is indifferent. Which is interesting since Shaun doesn’t like actual melon and Christa loves it. But who can say. Anyhow, seen as they’re now in season we thought it would interesting to see if we could make some cocktails with melon juice other than watermelon, since…

Amaro Lucano
Rather than wait a year or more between amaro posts, we thought we’d get ahead of the game and do another. Closing our eyes, spinning around in a circle, and grabbing a bottle from the shelf, we landed on Amaro Lucano for this post. What’s this particular amaro like? (Hint: it’s bitter and sweet ;)) (more…)

Cocktail onions aren't just for Gibsons...
Cocktail onions aren’t just for Gibsons…
We’re big fans of Gibsons around here. One wouldn’t expect that just changing the garnish would change the characteristics of a Martini, but it does. The little bit of brine and oniony flavor add a certain something that makes for a great and very different drink. What’s surprising to us though is that cocktail onions just aren’t used that often in other drinks, which we think is a darn shame.…

Lavender Cocktails
Happy 4th of July everyone! It’s another beautiful summer day here in Seattle; 61 degrees, overcast, with showers predicted for this afternoon. Everyone get out your July 4th fleeces. We don’t know where people get the idea that the weather here in Seattle isn’t nice. ;) Despite the cool weather and rain, the lavender is in full bloom, which makes the bees happy. Since we also enjoy the sight,…

Amaro: dell' Erborista
Amaro: dell’ Erborista
It’s time again to take a closer look at one of the many amaros (amari?) we have in our liquor cabinet. This week we pulled out Amaro dell’ Erborista by Varnelli. The dell’Erborista is especially interesting. It has a lot of forest-y, earthy notes as well as being especially bitter. Shaun finds it almost too bitter, Christa loves the stuff. Can we mix with it? Let’s find out. (more…)

Watermelon
Summer is starting to put in some special guest appearances here in Seattle. That means stone fruits are back at the market, and so is yummy watermelon. We’ve noodled around with watermelon in the past and have found that it makes for a light, refreshing cocktail that’s perfect for warm weather. With that in mind, we decided to see if we could come up with some other tasty libations using it.…

Tonic Syrup Cocktails
A few years ago we discovered tonic syrup. We think it’s a great addition to any bar seen as it allows you to control exactly how much tonic flavor you put in your drink without adding undue dilution. Recently, Christa picked up a bottle of & Tonic, another local tonic here in Seattle. It’s quite tasty and makes a lovely G&T. That said, we noticed that all anyone seems to make with tonic syrup…
