Went out, poked the ice with my toe, sprinkled on some pet-safe ice melt and went back inside. That'll need to soak for a while.

You made me want to revisit this (at least to verify the ratios I quoted). I think when I landed on this ratio, I was using a mix of rye and brandy. But this is working well with just rye. See picture for the bottles I used.

Yeah. I'm not great with names. Based on the components, "Zappa" could be in there, but I actually don't know enough of his music to think of something clever.

Still toying with ratios, but I've found that Zucca and apricot liqueur are a promising combination. Rye (or rye + brandy) as the base. I think most recently I was at something like 2½:¾:½ spirit:Zucca:apricot; stirred, on a rock, orange twist.

Is the listener base more boomer or X? I guess we'll find out

Tried this again today and flipping the Zucca and apricot is the way to go
Tonight's 🍸
2 oz Rittenhouse rye
1 oz E&J VSOP brandy
¾ oz Rothman & Winter apricot liqueur
½ oz Zucca
lemon twist

Stir and strain onto a rock.

An improv around apricot + rabarbaro. This was good, but I think a little sweet. Probably needs to flip the Zucca and apricot liqueur ratios. The E&J isn't high-quality, but it's acting as a binding agent, like Coruba rum in a tiki drink.

I need to see Tyrese with puppies. I'm sure that would fix me.

A corned ham sliced up and stuffed with spicy greens. Chaptico Market is the best.

We drive 2.5 hours from Baltimore to a convenience store in St Mary's county for our Xmas snacking ham. It's a schlep, but I feel compelled to evangelize when I have the opportunity.

Southern Maryland stuffed ham? Or another snacking ham?

Blume Marillen is distributed by Alpenz in the US, and it's been relatively easy to keep a bottle in stock in my home bar

Such a great drink.

Normally a bianco vermouth (as you have pictured) not a dry (as you wrote), right?

Our school didn't have much in the way of facilities, but we walked everywhere: to the Walters, the historical society, the Peabody, the main branch of the library. Plus we had a super cool art teacher. Made up for all the boring churchy parts.
