Just an ad lib by me When you are thinking of far away destinations and planning your winter escape. But wait! It’s still the middle of summer you say? Today, I had to don jeans and a light jumper. That’s a sweater of sorts for the Americans amongst you. Yep, what’s going on in downtown…

Mr. Fantasy
Recipe by Edwin J Rio’s This came up as a most requested recipe. I didn’t have Moroccan Bitters, so had to ad lib somewhat.I used a piece of coriander root, chopped it a bit, and muddled it slightly. I added some mole bitters that are homemade, a small tip sprig of mint, and some flakes…
It Tastes Like Sherbert
Adapted from a recipe by @partitimemixologist Original Melon Weather I saw this recipe, and thought I could adapt it to use my leftover Acid Adjusted Watermelon Juice from yesterday’s experiment. It worked very well. Rob’s first statement was “it tastes like sherbert”, so there you have the name. I dropped the lime juice from the…
Another Margarita
Today, at the street market, produce was in abundance. I saw these Galia Melons, and wanted some for a salad to go with tonight’s bbq. And thought a drink with them might also be in order.It’s been a hot couple of days after our slow start to Spring. It went from coolish, to Whack! I…
Yellow Jacket
Recipe from @t1m_kirkland on insta. He gives credit to “Employees Only”, in New YorkTim posts some great recipes. And I don’t use Yellow Chartreuse nearly as much as I do the green. But that probably goes for most people. This has Tequila in it, and here in downtown Amsterdam we have been slugging those agave…

And while I was zesting, then squeezing some mandarin, I did think “this can go in a margarita as well.The salad was a mix of watercress and mandarin,…
Patrón Paloma Roja
Recipe from @stephane.foisy.186 I saw this recipe Stephane posted yesterday, and knew I would make it. As it turned out, I had just made some hibiscus syrup just a couple of hours before he had posted this. I used a recipe from my @bohemianmixology book, and wanted to use it. I don’t have the hibiscus…

@speakeasieruk -David Jordan Melia As you may have realised, I’m a fan of David, and his book, Bohemian Mixology. It showcases the not usual forward spirits, which I love. I guess for a lot of people, the Chartreuse chapter might not be popular, or practical, right now. @bohemianmixology for the book, and more about David….
The Cloud
@drop.together.cocktails These girls make some interesting drinks. I saw the photo for this one and thought I would save it for a suitable day. Well, today really isn’t t that one. It started off with sun and blue skies. But now has deteriorated into a grey rainy mess.But here’s a sunny blue drink to drown…
