My newly concocted gin- cranberry drink I am at least temporarily calling Cranberry Clearance (it's a nod to the major clearing and dirt work that occurred at my place all weekend)

I thought that’s what we were talking about but wasn’t sure… gin huh? might have to substitute vodka in mine. Think that would work?

It is raining sooo hard today! I’m glad I can work from home but all the rain has me wanting to cuddle up with some tea or get back in bed instead.View attachment 2192979

Why not do both tea in bed while listening to the rain can be quite relaxing.

Sometimes when I push my shopping cart across a bumpy parking lot I worry that I'm scrambling the eggs I just bought in their shells.

The two aren't that dissimilar. But I don't like either, so I'm probably not a good resource. I like my liquor brown.

Well... actually I really think gin. Especially good with a slightly more botanical gin. I favor blue sapphire which is widely available. I think especially so, since the cranberry liquor is vodka based.
But you do you. Drinks are all about personal preference

I have a fresh bottle of both, if I give it a try I'll let you know how they compare.

gin and vodka, while not unreasonable to substitute one for the other in mixed drinks are quite different on my palette.
Geez... this actually feels like day drinking just talking about this much booze

Oh I agree. It’s that pesky work piece that’s getting me. Lol

Gin makes my face overheat

I worry about them the whole ride home lol

Youre over thinking it dude.

I don’t think he is! They’re so fragile lol

Cas, I am going to work on the recipe cards today. two questions-do you have the cranberry liquor recipe and do you have a photo I can include?

True, the aromatics in gin can make a difference depending on what your mixing them in. I've only found one gin I've even moderately liked, usually the pine is a bit too strong.

I think everyone here needs a medical maraijuana card.

We do not need them where I live

Nope! And that state is just a hop skip and a jump away from me

Yep. Just don't get stopped at the border

I'd say good morning but it's well past morning for me.
Monday is generally my busiest day of the week. And this one is no exception. Sigh.

How is everyone?

 

[rjr_1954]

Good Monday morning chaos peeps.
I got the coffee on warm

I’m a Hendricks guy. Have a few of their limited release botanicals (Midsummer Solstice, Orbium, and Neptunia). All very different flavor profiles, but all fantastic!

Only one I've ever found I've liked in Blaum Brothers, which is actually local-ish. It's the one I keep around for making drinks when entertaining, alot more subdued on the pine than any other I've tried, definitely more anise and citrus than most. I'm much more of a bourbon/scotch man, so I'm not as widely experienced with clear liquors.
