For me it’s lemonade, kicking off a Dry July. Maybe with some bitters. Welcome to the second half of 2023!

What are you drinking this week?

    Guava mojito

    Recipe : 1 Oz white rum 1 Oz Jamaican rum 2.5 Oz guava juice 0.5 Oz lemon juice Mint for garnish

    I bought guava juice from a local Indian store that is pairing really well with rum.

    Kept it light and simple over the long holiday.

    Elderflower sparking water, Apertivo, Gin, Ice (maybe a citrus rind laying around)

    Ratio changed a bit periodically, but just a light refreshing beverage on hot days.

    Whipped up some delicious Singapore slings yesterday! I used a recipe from The Educated Barfly, but instead of adding soda water, I just shook and carbonated the whole thing.

    • 1.5oz (45ml) Gin London Dry
    • .25oz (7.5ml) Cherry Heering
    • .25oz (7.5ml) Benedictine
    • .25oz (7.5ml) Cointreau
    • 1oz (30ml) Lime Juice
    • .25oz (7.5ml) Grenadine
    • .75oz (20ml) Pineapple Juice
    • 1 dash Angostura
    • Soda Water [top]

    It’s sweet, but I think pretty balanced. Kinda tastes like a delicious melted sno-cone, but that might just be my association with cherry heering.

    For Friday Synch & to continue dry July - a jalapeno/black pepper limeade. Fresh limes from the tree, simple syrup, ice and half a jalapeno (also homegrown), few black peppercorns, pinch of salt, water to cover, all in the blender then taste, adjust, blend again & strain over ice.

    Fancy variations of sweet & sour drinks are by far my favorite non alcoholic flavored drinks. Excluding coffee of course.
