Jackie got some pineapple juice for some cocktail or another, so I seized the opportunity to make us each a Zenaida Dove. (Hers has a bonus Luxardo cherry.)

I did make my bluevardier last night. It was kinda sweet. Not a surprise, as triple sec is sweeter than sweet vermouth. I usually make boulevardiers replacing half the Campari with Aperol. I’ll not do that, and see if that gets the balance closer.

It is pretty though:

I have invented a (I think) new cocktail: the bluevardier! It’s a boulevardier, except that the sweet vermouth is replaced with blue curacao.

I’ll make one for cocktail hour and post a picture!

In a shaker mix with ice:

4 parts cheap gin
1 part cheap triple sec
1 splash cranberry juice concentrate

Shake until cold, pour over ice, top with grapefruit juice.

Having been instructed in how to make a Sazerac by our bartender yesterday, today I made one for @jackieLbrewer. Main difference: three kinds of bitters. 📷 #mbfeb

As her new go-to drink, @jackieLbrewer is enjoying a little (2 cl) shot of Campari with a whole little bottle (20 cl) of Fever Tree @fevertreemixers tonic water. Very pretty–both of them!

For the past few days I’ve been drinking bourbon and branch water (i.e. tap water from the Mahamet aquifer). Today though @jackieLbrewer wanted her manhattan with @mrivrdistilling’s Cody Road rye. It’s so yummy I’m drinking it neat.

I write science fiction and fantasy stories.

I speak Esperanto, and use it to communicate internationally. Esperantistoj, legu mian esperantan hejmpaĝon.

For a while I taught Taiji. My current hobby is HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts, aka sword fighting).

For eleven years I was a senior writer at Wise Bread, writing about personal finance and frugality.

Before that I spent a quarter-century as a software engineer.
