trip reports: smuggler’s cove, boot and shoe service; experiment: japanese cocktail

18-Dec-09

smugglers cove: got a ‘dead reckoning‘ (rum, lemon, pineapple, maple, tawny port, vanilla liqueur, bitters, soda). good but not as amazing as i’d hoped or expected. i didn’t get anything from the port or maple syrup or vanilla liqueur. ‘merely’ a delicious pineapple-rum drink.
incredible menu, and a fun, cozy space. [...]

experiment: blueberry thing

26-Nov-09

i bought some ‘just blueberry’ juice from trader joes and found it fairly lame. so i (over) reduced it 4:1 with some sugar and ginger and its pretty rad.
2 oz vodka
3/4 oz lemon
3/4 oz rich blueberry-ginger syrup
5 mint leaves
gently muddle mint, combine all other ingredients, shake.
