Last night's #cocktail was a Vesper

3 oz gin
1 oz vodka
1/2 oz lillet blanc

I generally use a blend of London Dry and American gin (I do the same when making a dry martini). I also usually scale back the quantities (which is easier when making two), as the above recipe is quite a hefty drink.

According to the good folks at liquor.com, the vesper is the drink desired by James Bond when he orders his "martini, shaken not stirred."

liquor.com/recipes/vesper/

Some of the commentary in that post made me reflect on James Bond, caricature, and the way we think about masculinity, particularly in light of a few other articles I read this week on the topic. It's something I've wanted to explore further for a while now, so keep an eye out for a blog post in the coming week or two.

A martini glass on a wooden side table against a purple-gray colored wall. It's lit from the side, illuminating the glass and the wall to the left but fading away to the right. The glass is full of a clear liquid and a twist of yellow lemon peel rests on the rim on the right side.

NAVY GROGU

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz pineapple juice
¼ oz SC Mai Tai syrup
a few drops of blue curaçao
¼ oz allspice dram
¼ oz falernum
1 oz overproof Pot Still Lightly Aged Rum ❶
1 oz Rhum Agricole Blanc ❼

Garnish: lime wedge, maraschino cherry
Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake, open pour, and top with more ice. Spear two cherries for the eyes, and use two lime wedges as your garnish so it looks as if the Force is strong with this one.

May the 4th be with you! I saw this one years ago from servedbysoberon on IG and finally got around to making it on the right day ;) A riff on the tiki classic, the Navy Grog. But Star Wars!

Afternoon Twters, and TGIF!

Still very warm here, so tepid bath to wash my newly cut hair with a nice new conditioner in an attempt to get the ends all sleek and nourished.

Little #cocktail now, then dinner tonight is a new #recipe which looks very tasty: bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/one_pot

Hope you're all having a great start to your bank holiday weekend! 😘🍸

April's cocktail pie - Strawberry Mojito Impossible Pie

I was feeeeling strawberries this month, so I've gone for a Strawberry Mojito - made with white rum, lime juice, mint, strawberries, sugar and soda water.

My pie is a self-crusting(!) rum and lime custard pie, piled high with fresh strawberries and mint, and drizzled with a mint-lime glaze.

Recipe: cellarcrumbs.wordpress.com/202

A rectangular photo of a pie and two cocktails sitting on a white wooden background. The pie is a golden-brown colour below a huge pile of bright red strawberries, with green mint leaves poking out between strawberries; there is a light-coloured glaze on top with a few pieces of chopped mint mixed in. The cocktails are light-pink coloured sparkling liquids in low-ball glasses, with strawberry quarters and mint leaves mixed in.

The pie is a golden-brown colour below a huge pile of bright red strawberries, with green mint leaves poking out between strawberries; there is a light-coloured glaze on top with a few pieces of chopped mint mixed in. It is missing a quarter, which is the slices on the plates - although only one is really shown, as the other disappears out of shot. The cocktails are light-pink coloured sparkling liquids in low-ball glasses, with strawberry quarters and mint leaves mixed in.

PIÑATA

3 oz pineapple juice
1 oz lemon juice
¼ oz SC demerara syrup
1 oz ginger liqueur
½ oz St. Elizabeth allspice dram
1 oz Black Blended Rum ❺
1 oz Blended Lightly Aged Rum ❷

Garnish: grated nutmeg
Method: Add all the ingredients to a drink mixer tin. Fill with 12 ounces of crushed ice and 4 to 6 agitator cubes. Flash blend and open pour into a hollowed-out pineapple. Garnish with grated nutmeg.

A real job to hollow out the pineapple, but the fun vessel makes it worth it! Also no harm in throwing an extra straw in there for a party of two who won't mind sharing.

GARDEN OF FUNK

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz passion fruit syrup
¼ oz coconut cream
½ oz absinthe
1 oz Blended Lightly Aged Rum ❷
1 oz Blended Aged Rum ❸
Float of overproof Pot Still Unaged Rum

Garnish: mint sprig, lime wheel
Method: Combine all ingredients except rum for the float in a shaker with crushed ice and shake. Open pour into glass, top with ice, float the rum, and garnish.

A lovely potion that can please everyone on the tiki spectrum: tame enough for a beginner, but still has enough in there to interest a veteran. Original by theweekendmixologist on IG.

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is the Waterloo, from Difford's Guide.

60ml oude genever
15ml mandarin liqueur
5ml (one barspoon) strong herbal amaro

Stirr&Strain, espress an orange zest and discard, and garnish with a salted nut.

It is more an after dinner than an aperitif, but it's really good, if it happens you have a good mandarin liqueur from Corse!
