Glassaholic: Margarita
February 24, 2014
Turns out that Saturday was National Margarita Day. Who knew? So we were compelled to adjust the Swiss fondue plans to include some homemade margaritas. Thanks Jacques.
This is a very easy drink to make, but it requires some magical wizardry nonetheless. The ratio MUST be 2:2:4 (and you can’t divide by 2). If you squeeze out all of your limes as a constraint, make sure that counts as 2 and not one! If it only adds up to 1, you have to go back to the store and get more limes.
Never make a margarita with glow in the dark green stuff from Food Dog or triplesec.
Maragarita
2 measures of fresh lime juice
2 measures of cointreau
4 measures of tequila
Stir or very light shake. Serve in a glass rimmed with flake salt.
Glassaholic: Lion’s Tail
January 21, 2014
Here’s a glass’ed version of a Lion’s Tale. This drink is very nice on a cold day, but you have to like allspice to appreciate it. Since it snowed 6 inches so far today and is still snowing, a Lion’s Tail is just what the doctor ordered.
Lion’s Tail
2 oz bourbon (cask strength)
.75 oz allspice dram
.5 oz lime
teaspoon of simple syrup
2 dashes Angostura bitters
shake. strain. serve up in a cocktail glass.
