Why do I chiefly post on #FB and #IG? Simple -- *space*. The ability to post more than one video longer than one minute, to write more than 500 characters without adding a second thread. Since I never really spent time on twitter, I never learned to write short things... For better or worse.. #socialmedia #oldfashioned
An Old Fashioned that I had while in Charlotte, NC last month. A good way to make sure that the config changes I made to #snac have set it up to remove exif and location data from the photo.

OLD FASHIONED

- 2 dashes bitters
- ¼ oz demerara syrup
- 2 oz bourbon

Stir // Strain // Garnish: orange peel

Back to the basics. I never had a plain old fashioned pic that I took; it was always some modified riff. I recently found a company in town that does custom-cut clear ice and after getting my first order thought I should keep everything simple to show it off: spec, glass, ice cube.

CARAJILLO OF

- ¼ oz Licor 43
- ¼ oz coffee liqueur
- 1 oz rye
- 1 oz cognac

Stir // Strain // Garnish: coffee beans

This was really making the rounds on Insta and people were raving about it. I wasn't so impressed. Too sweet and not spicy enough from lack of bitters. Could be much more fun with a solid Tequila instead of Rye.

RIVER STYX

1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash allspice dram
¼ oz creme de cacao
¼ oz coffee liqueur
2 oz rye

Stir // Strain // Garnish: orange peel

I gave this one superpowers by lining a spent bottle with food-grade beeswax from my neighborhood beekeeper, batching the cocktail and resting it in the bottle for about six weeks until it imparted a soft but powerful scent that rounds out the edges of this boozy cocktail. Worth the wait!

The spec itself came from Kindred Cocktails in San Diego, and I found out about it from IG parttimemixologist. I opted for his substitution of rye instead of bourbon.
