BoulevardierAgain recipe suggestion fromDavid Wolfe I thought to revisit this recipe, but using a different Whiskey this time. Still the coffee infused Campari that David recommended a while ago. I just wanted to try out my Michters Rye, recommended to me by a Kentuckian, Sean. I still bought the wrong one from what he suggested….

by Rob ProhaskaRob wanted a St. Patrick’s Day themed cocktail today. I told him to find one, and he came back with this. Today, maybe he wants to be Rob O’Prohaska. I don’t think he even has a drop of Irish blood in him. But I think for everyone else in the western world, they…

Inadvertently an ode to Big Head Todd and the Monsters.Rob started playing his guitar just as I was mixing this little delight up.I had made a sour cherry Shrub with my Morel cherries. I had to beat the Blackbirds to them. The sneaky little beggars. I love their song, not so much their foraging in…

Probably also with the brandy, although that’s it quite so significant here.I also think if you used a…
