The Tasty Food Topic

[DrP]

This isn't super food related, but is still in the category of it.

I got a new bar set today!! It's ridiculously awesome. Boston Shaker. Jigger. Cocktail Spoon. Big Ice Cube Tray. Strainer and some specialty cocktail cherries!!!



I honestly have so much alcohol that I can probably get the entire tax department at my client hammered.

Careful with that cube tray, I almost went for one but bailed because of reviews talking about it eventually starts to pick up freezer burn smells and deposits them into the ice.  Otherwise yaaa nice set, I have slowly pieced together a similar set but with a cobbler shaker instead + recently acquired lemon/lime squeezer.  Fresh tom collins are gudddd

See!! I told you they'd be so good! and the fresh lemon makes it all the more better.

I managed to get a bottle of lemon infused simple syrup, so I just mix that with gin and club soda. I might just do that soon (once I have a pot of coffee in me).

I think my next big purchase will be copper mugs for Moscow Mules. Plus I might start experimenting with mixing stuff!

I'm never had a tom collins... I should try one.

They're tasty and super easy, but you have to be careful about the gin sometimes.  I use 2oz tanqueray which is about 95 proof so... it can fuck you up if you have less than a full stomach

I just made one. I used 3oz Bombay Sapphire (which is 94 proof) and I shook it with 1oz lemon simple syrup. I poured it over 1 icecube. Added club soda, 2 bourbon soaked cherries and 1tsp of the cherry juice.

I wish I had skewers to i could lay the cherries across the top of the glass, but it's really for show purposes and not necessary in this instance.

Duly noted. I had a sloe gin fizz a while ago which I really enjoyed too.

Seeing your glass reminds me I have to go out and find a good spot to buy a variety of glasses >.> right now all I have are some cheapo ikea drink glasses + 1 nice collins glass.  I do have some good tumblers but they're all on the east coast in storage...  I want to at least get a nice stem cocktail glass~

All the stuff I have now is stemless (except wine glasses). I think I still have my collins glasses wrapped up and I'm way too lazy to unpack them.
I got my glasses at Crate and Barrel (you could also try Sur la Table). Their glasses usually run about $3-$7 each. I also have some Bodum glasses that I use for simple things like G&Ts, Vodka sodas, etc..

For my next place, I want to buy a sideboard for everything, because right now, I'm using a 2x2 ikea bookshelf. It actually works really well
