(08/11/21) In the news... California is the first state to require teachers and school staff to be vaccinated or submit to regular coronavirus testing, and the speculation is over regarding who the new "Jeopardy!" TV game show host will be after the death of Alex Trebek - executive producer Mike Richards and actress Mayim Bialik! With the bar officially open while we are not quite free to FULLY roam uninhibited (masks are once again mandatory while indoors due to increased spreading of the Delta variant), tonight's elixir is this simple #cocktail: St. Lucia 2.00 oz. gold or white rum (gold in this case) 1.00 oz. orange curaçao 1.00 oz. dry vermouth (very dry in this case) 1.00 oz. orange juice 1.00 tbsp. grenadine 1 maraschino cherry and orange wedge for garnish (optional) Paired with some lazy homecooked mac & cheese. Drank and dined while watching the TV series "The O.C. Season 3" streaming on @HBOMax. Continue to stay safe, wear a face covering, wash your hands, and drink plenty of liquids! . . . @StMaartenRumCo #GoldRum #Rum @BrovoSpirits #OrangeCuracao @MaisonNoillyPrat #ExtraDryVermouth #Vermouth @KrogerCo #OrangeJuice @RosesMixers #Grenadine #Bartending #Cocktails #Liquor #Liqueur #Mixology #MixedDrinks #Drinks #ShakenNotStirred #InstaDrinks (at Silver Lake) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSedEDQHg2Q/?utm_medium=tumblr

Today, I took one of my best friends - and best female friend - to the airport as she moves to the east coast to start a new teaching adventure and life away from her California west coast.best coast left coast home she's known her entire life. She will sorely be missed, but in no means is this "good bye"; rather, this is a "I'll see you later... and you better let me crash on your couch when I swing by your part of the country"! Wishing you all the best and take care of that black beast furry alligator we raise for nearly a year. As the bar will remain officially open while we FULLY roam uninhibited, the day's elixir is this simple #cocktail that is a favorite of my dear friend which I'm also drinking on her behalf: Double Dirty Martini 4.00 oz. gin 1.00 oz. extra dry vermouth 1.00 oz. cocktail olives brine 2 green cocktail olives Paired with homemade pupusas from the mother of my maintenance man.
