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 […]
The third drink for the evening.Yeah, we were really going all out, considering we had just arrived that morning from a direct flight SFO-AMS. No shame here though. So while I was hunting around for some Scarlet Ibis rum in multiple bottle shops all over the SF Bay Area, my good friend Nathan Robinson ( […]
Christmas CakeRecipe from @the_crusty_rim_cocktailsFrom Instagram Definitely a very festive style drink. And I get to use the Cherry Heering.I think this drink would vary with each type of whisky/whiskey you used. Monkey Shoulder it is tonight here.

Just chilly cold, not wet or snowy cold.And I was thinking pumpkin and whiskey would be nice and warming, with its toasty aromatics.So I got Rob to get me some canned pumpkin purée while he was out. And came up with this gezellig (closest translation comes out as cozy, which just doesn’t […]

This band, wow. I love them. We saw them a couple of years ago now. Remember when you could go see live bands? We actually […]
From Damon BaconIn Tiki Recipes a Facebook group. I guess most of us have had a staycation in the last year and a half nearly, now. But for us here in Europe, things are starting to open up again. And we are busy planning where to go next, what to see, asking for quirky/funky bar […]
