i made another batch of zombies, this time i made the passionfruit syrup by reducing the passionfruit nectar in half. this was not as successful; i prefer the uncooked passionfruit flavor.
i also started thinking about being more mathematical/systematic about making syrups. i figure that a cup of 1:1 syrup has 360 480 calories, 2:1 syrup has 480 690 calories. so one need only apply algebra to convert a juice to the desired caloric level by reduction/evaporation and/or by adding sugar.

vodka watermelon. does this shit really work? are the results any good? intuition tells me its a gimmick, that it sounds cute but emotionally unsettling, like adopting a feral cat.
but here’s an idea, why not saturate the melon with a cocktail? maybe something like 4:2:1 vodka/lime/syrup? maybe infuse the vodka with tarragon, mint, or chipotle?
would the lime turn before the saturation is complete?

the 4 oz gladware ice cubes are cute, but smaller than hoped. not sure why i expected otherwise. i’ve got 4 oz measuring cups and a pair of eyes.
related, this showed up in the house. would make a nice big-ice tray, yes?
