Under the guise of sharing tips, recipes and general impressions, of course, but still showing off nonetheless.
Let me be clear. I don't give a shit about your can of Budweiser, or the pint of Shiner you had at the bar, or even the glass of mediocre rosé you had at the staff Christmas party. Dazzle me, you fuckers, dazzle me.
So, to begin. We were, a little while ago, in a Ruby Tuesday where the waitress suggested a shooter called a PB&J. This was a half-measure of Chambord, and a half-measure of Frangelico - black raspberry and hazelnut liqueurs, respectively.
Just today, we recreated it with some of the Chambord I bought for the New Year's Eve champagne, and substituted the Frangelico (which is wildly expensive to buy here) for one of our most recent purchases: Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut Liqueur ($15 for 750ml - but surprisingly smooth, and totally delicious).
We also bought a new bottle of absinthe, and got our first two absinthe spoons at last! Of course, we don't have any sugar cubes made up right now, so we haven't opened it. It's also too tall for our liquor cabinet, which is more than a little irritating, so it's sitting on top with our crappy drinks like an outcast
