a dead blog?

maybe this blog is dying or dead. i no longer have enough time to do much respectable drinking, much less the time to write about it. so, dear readers, please leave an obituary in the comments. what has this blog meant to you and your loved ones? what wisdom will you carry forth in its wake? so devastating is your sorrow, you will binge on what methods of self-destruction?

as one last gasp i will mention some experiences in the past two months:

comstock saloon. i had a great experience here with some other people. tasted a great sazerac and a manhattan that reminded me, somehow, of lake tahoe. something alpine. maybe a little green chartreuse? also a pisco sour which them madcats had infused with magrut lime leaf as a nod to a traditional coca leaf infusion. or something. at any rate, it was perfumy and delicious and complex. i myself had the pisco punch which was ‘merely’ very good, and the hop toad punch (rum, apricot brandy, lime, bitters) which was unexpectedly dirty and savory in all the right ways.

15 romolo. i am prepared to say that scott baird is a genius, i have had many of his drinks at the cuesa event and have been wanting to come here a long time. he may be my favorite drink creator in the bay area. stockholm syndrome, a great spirit-based drink using amontillado sherry as the sour component and leopolds apple as the sweet. then the los altos sour which on paper sounds like a typical sour variant but is somehow greater than the sum of its parts.

clyde common. much has been made of the barrel-aged cocktails, and i can’t say i loved the negroni. on the other hand, i don’t care much for the non-aged version so i’m not the best judge. a generally good drinking experience overall, but not better than anywhere i’ve been in the bay area. i will say that without exception, every person in that place, male, female, customer, or staff member, was better looking than me.

some experiments of late:

1 oz rye
1 oz bourbon
3/4 oz meyer lemon
3/4 oz giffard blueberry
1/4 medium strawberry, muddled
2 mint leaves
1 dash ango

(a variant/ripoff of the blue and red smash at rickhouse)

2 oz brandy
1 oz lime
1 oz triple sec
1 magrut lime leaf, muddled

(a variant/ripoff of the aforementioned pisco sour, or perhaps a sidecar)

1/2 oz tequila
1/2 rum
1 oz grapefruit vodka
1 oz lime
3/4 oz giffard lychee
1/4 oz maraschino liqueur
2 dashes grapefruit bitters

this was the using up of some odds and ends, tortured into a strawberry hemingway variant. really good.

    but there is still time for mixing drinks at home….surely that is worth something? (for the blog, i mean — obviously, there is intrinsic value already.)
