Reliance on wind and solar does expose nations to energy price spikes
Countries like the UK, Spain and Italy rely on gas to step in when renewables can’t produce power, leading to higher energy prices – but a more flexible system could avoid this
There ought to be a 30-day return policy for US presidents. A cooling-off period for people to change their minds.
CATEGORY: SOURS
The vast majority of cocktails are made with citrus juice as the main modifier. These cocktails are called sours. Sours are made with any spirit base, citrus juice and a sweetener. The basic formula for a sour is 8 parts base, 2 parts citrus, 1 part sugar syrup or sweet liqueur.
TECHNIQUE: CRUSHED ICE
If your fridge doesn’t make crushed ice, a good option is a manual ice crusher that has stainless steel blades and a vacuum suction base.
You can smash ice up in a tea towel or lewis bag using a rolling pin but it's messy and not very effective. Alternatively, you can make crushed ice using the tin part of a boston shaker and a muddler.
MODIFIER/BASE: FORTIFIED WINE
Some cocktail recipes use fortified wine, such as sherry and port as the modifier or even the base. An interesting style of port to use in cocktails is white port. When cocktail recipes call for sherry they generally mean dry sherry.
