Yes, yes, I know I said I’d be posting again in a week, and that week passed several days ago. But among the souvenirs I brought back from Canada was a vicious little virus that’s kept me mostly laid up since I got home. And while I could certainly go for sips of a cocktail between violent bursts of coughing, my sense of taste and smell is all screwy, so I haven’t even been able to crack into the bottle of Giffard Ginger of the Indies Liqueur that I brought home, and that I’ve been fantasizing about for days now. (Though I did manage to work out another post for Serious Eats while sweating and delerious with fever, if you’re looking to kill a few minutes at work).
So, hopefully I’ll be back and around in the next couple of days. I’ve got a bunch of booze that needs blogging.
Welcome back to the states, and hope you brought back some Havana Club.
can’t tell you how many times that’s happened to me. take a vacation, get rested, come back ready to take on the world and – thud- you get sick. hope you feel better and welcome back.
Welcome back to the states, and hope you didn’t bring back some Havana Club (man that stuff is overrated). 😉
When you get better, try a Debonair with the Giffard Ginger…yummy stuff.
If you’re feeling stuffy, try this Giffard recipe I’ve created for those fall/winter sniffles:
SNAKE OIL
2 oz Rye
1 oz Ginger of the Indies
1 dash Angostura bitters
2 dashes orange bitters
2 oz apple juice
zest of lemon
zest of orange
place all in metal tin and steam until the tin is hot to the touch
pour contents into a snifter
consume and get well
Did you have a caesar in Canada? which is better a caesar or blood mary?
