To celebrate voting (and because the dog is at her Canine Academy) we’re having lunch out. I’ve got a Three Floyd’s Zombie Dust (yummy—I’ve had it before), and Jackie has a Big Grove Old Fashioned.

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!

I am forever confusing gibsons and gimlets.

Zenaida Dove cocktail
I tweeted this recipe a month ago, and today had to spend 10 minutes tracking it down—a good reminder that anything original I do should be posted here on my blog first and then tweeted, not just posted to twitter.
Here the recipe:
1 oz Roses Lime
1 oz Campari
1 oz bottled pineapple juice
1 oz Cruzan blackstrap rum
Basically, it’s a Jungle Bird, but without fresh juice.
I’d had it in mind to make it for cocktail hour this evening, but sadly we just finished the pineapple juice. I guess it’s a Boulevardier for this evening. (Hence, no picture. Sorry.)
Seabreeze with
Seabreeze with two-thirds regular vodka, one-third cucumber vodka makes a sea-cucumber breeze. Jackie likes it.

Yesterday’s cocktail napkin was funny.
