Reading a 1963 article on rum that features some frankly hilarious cocktail recipes. They make heavy use of electric blenders. There is much hollowing out of fruit, blending the flesh with rum, refilling the fruit and serving on a bed of ice. If not that then it's all glacé cherries on cocktail sticks stuck down the end of your straw.

Anyway... take a look at this opener for the Coconut Cream cocktail.

After a beer writers' event yesterday finished reasonably early, I convinced a group of friends to come for a nightcap at Coupette, a cocktail bar in East London.

We all started with the Lost Path, which was excellent. It was particularly nice that we all had the same thing, because it created a shared experience we could discuss, dissect and enjoy together.

If you're in the area, Coupette is well worth a visit.

Wondering whether it's worth getting some sort of #WordPress plugin for sharing #CocktailRecipes.

Would have to work with the #GutenbergEditor.

Anyone already tried this? Would be interested to hear your experience if so.

This evening’s cocktail: The Negroni Spagliato Spritz

1 oz Campari
1 oz sweet red vermouth
4 oz Prosecco (or in this case cremante - whatever bubbly you have on hand)
Dash Angostura orange bitters
Orange peel garnish (I don’t have this tonight)

Very refreshing, with the delicious bitter profile of a classic Negroni, but much lower alcohol content (Prosecco instead of gin), so one can guzzle a few. I think this might be my summer cocktail of 2023.

Taste testing the drinks I’ll be making for the Lag B’Omer party at my shul next week. I made one with honeydew melon juice, tequila, spicy tequila, agave syrup and mint leaves. The honeydew melon doesn’t have enough flavour, may have to pivot on that one… #Cocktails #CocktailRecipes
