Saludé!

I started this collection to forward to hoshizora to thank him for indulging me and mine on his birthday-night. But then it was kuchisake_onna*'s day and now hlaron's day...
So I'm just going to post these to say, whoever you are, here's to making it the bestest day!

(Stephen’s) Marmalade Sour, The Brothers Bloom Soundtrack Party. New Haven, CT. (photo by pennybird) 3 oz. Cachaça 1 oz. Lemon Juice 1 oz. Simple Syrup 2 dashes Fee’s Orange Bitters 1 egg white 2 T. Orange Marmalade (or peach jam) This is my new favorite drink, based on Jamie Boudreau’s amazing Marmalade Sour. I like it with a bit more sweetness, but lets face it - Cachaça is amazing, any way you serve it. I put it on the menu for the Brothers Bloom cocktail party and it seemed to be the perfect drink to represent Stephen. A bit sweet, a bit smoky, a bit of boisterous fun.

Marke put together this moving picture version of my take on a Combustible Edison. 2 oz. Brandy (heated) 1 oz. Campari 1 oz. Lemon Juice Pour Brandy into glass and ignite. Shake Campari and Lemon juice over ice and slowly pour over flaming Brandy. (Extinguish before drinking) Note: After seeing Condorman numerous times as a kid, I always thought it was possible to drink a flaming cocktail (and subsequently blow a fireball out of your mouth). While preparing this drink, my friend told me about someone he knew who gave himself third degree burns by drinking a flaming cocktail. Such a disappointment. ronenreblogs: themadeshop: The Bang Bang. From The Brothers Bloom Score Party in New Haven. Campari, Lemon, and Brandy flambé. When you're done with something, blow it up. I would love the instructions in the picture

themadeshop: Manhattan. P.F'n. Changs, Boston Commons. 2 oz. Woodford Reserve 1 oz. Sweet Vermouth 1 dash Blood Orange Bitters (proportions estimated) I shit you not, this is the best Manhattan I've had (Woodford is the suspected culprit)& From P.F'n. Chang's! Usually I'll default to my chain-restaurant drink in this situation, but I guess it's all about the bartender. I never did catch hizzer name.

fuck yeah mismatched socks! long live the johnsons. themadeshop: nathanjohnson: Balthazar Ginger Citrus Iced Tea (minus the ice). Making its way up to 64th & York in a cab. When we reach our destination, the ice shall be added. It's sort of a lot of work for a drink. But it's the kind of drink that makes it worth it. I don't like ginger or iced tea, but something tells me I should try this drink.

I’m off to NYCOMICON!!

The talented and amazing Elisa Lau just offered up table space. Me, not being an idiot I said yes. [More rightly 'Yes! Yes! A Thousand times Yes!!"] We'll be at the Javits [Artist Alley is 3E Hall, table is D12].

*Oh, I should also point out, due to family obligations I'll only be at there Friday and bits of Sunday.

Talk about last minute, this might damn well be a record, even for me. :D
