Oddly this is what my screen was showing when sadly I was drinking box wine.

I've been raiding our garden to make Mint Juleps and Mojitos for the last couple of days. I almost forgot how good those are because the mint in our local supermarkets is so bad (expensive and goes bad too fast).

Doing a riff on a white negroni.

1.5 oz gin 1 oz white aperitif wine (might use lilet blanc as an alternative) .5 oz yellow chartreuse dash of citrus bitters garnish with grapefruit peel

vodka a crystal light.

I've been drinking gin and tonic this week. My husband adds a dash of rhubarb bitters and it's delicious! Tastes like summer!

I want to make a White Russian tonight. But along with the vodka and Kahlúa, I want to add some Baileys. I usually use vanilla soy, instead of milk, because I like the taste and texture.

I started adding Baileys during the cold, dark winter months, which was a lovely evening drink. During summers, I usually go for a Tequila Sunrise, but today I'm in the mood for that softer, non-acidic feel.

EDIT: Just saw your description text, OP. Never heard of a Pas de Loupe before, but that sounds interesting. Is that Mezcal, Cynar, ancho, honey syrup and lemon juice?

Also, happy cake day!

I'm having a margarita to wrap up the weekend. So, so good.

2 oz Tequila Ocho (claro) 1 oz Grande Garonne Liqueur D'Orange 3/4 oz lime juice 1/2 oz Ancho Reyes Verde
