So what are you drinking (or planning to drink) to celebrate?
It’s still lunch hour here at work, but this evening we are heading out for Thai, which means a couple of bottles of Singha will accompany dinner. Later, I might just lift a glass of Trader Joe’s Kentucky bourbon (rebranded Buffalo Trace, really) in honor of the anniversary.
Prosit!
You think this is funny? The town where I live repealed prohibition in 2008.
The county in Arkansas where I just spent Thanksgiving is dry (shudder). Tonight I will make my manhattan:
2oz. Copper Fox Rye (it’s aged in charred barrels);
.5oz Luxardo maraschino liquer;
.5oz Dolin sweet vermouth
3 dashes Bitter Truth cocktail bitters;
Serve in a chilled coupe glass with two Luxardo maraschino cherries.
I will exercise my 21st Amendment rights at the curling club tonight.
I’ll be making myself a Scofflaw tonight:
• 1 1/2 oz. rye whiskey
• 1 oz. dry vermouth
• 3/4 oz. fresh lemon juice
• 3/4 oz. grenadine
Shake with ice. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.
And, I had no idea Trader Joe’s Bourbon was rebranded Buffalo Trace! I like Buffalo Trace, as a reasonably priced bourbon. I’ll have to give the TJ a try!
