2 oz aged rum (the drink scales well, use something good)

0.5 oz lime juice

0.5 oz simple sugar

Shake the double strain! Garnish with aromatic bitters drizzles on top.

2007 La Jota Merlot. Went to a friend's house to pick up my case of Seasmoke Ten earlier today and hung around a bit for a Pinot tasting, I am now experiencing the wrath of (Mrs.) Khan. :blink:

The good news for all you interested parties is that the 2009 is good stuff.

My first gin and tonic in about 2 weeks.

Familiarity breeds contempt.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Either way, this is delicious.

Nothing fabulous. 2 measures of regular gordons and a wee tin of schweppes, a drip of bitters on the top.

Raising a glass.

Had that at the beer fest, was not a huge fan.

Earlier, lots of delicious wine. Stag's Leap '09 chardonnay and some red that I didn't pick up the name of unfortunately. Now, diet mt dew though.

Hannsens Oudbeitje Lambic...at first I thought this was as horrible as the pic I took, but the strawberry kick is worth the initial discomfort...

Westvleteren 8 & then 12...

both tasted candied to me...trying to read the best by to determine vintage, but it was immediately apparent that the 12 I took to Jackie O's was amongst the best beers on Earth...that one we pegged as a 2006...it's as if this one hasn't gone through the metamorphosis...

still...all things considered:)...

also forgot to mention that someone whipped out a bottle of Isabelle Proximus circa 2007 (nutso rare) earlier...
