The Second Cold War has begun. Now is the time for armored divisions, not political divisions.

Ever prone to the fallacy that you want me to reply to your opinions with my own, often differing, opinions.

@JoeWynne my skull finally getting its shot at the big times, standing in for the Yorick in the movie poster for this week’s fare “I’m ready for my close up Mr. DeMille”. Made as ordered except I threw in a half ounce of apricot which turns it into a nice holiday punch and color matches the grinch just a little better #monsterdrinks #cocktail

Behold the Applegroni! Equal parts Aperol, applejack, and homemade cider vermouth, with a dash of apple spice bitters. Tastes like a delectably bitter apple candy!

If I had dried apple wheels, they would have made a nice garnish.

My (catching-up) cocktail pie for August: Rusty Nail Galette.

A Rusty Nail contains Scottish whisky and Drambuie.

My pie is a Drambuie shortcrust galette with a honey-peach filling, topped with a butter whisky syrup.

The peaches are summery but the warm spices have helped make this one feel slighly more attuned to our present season!

Friday #cocktail: calling it an Old Orchard. Applejack and mulling spice syrup with a dash of Angostura bitters. I’m thinking this mulling spice simple is a winner.
