Controversial opinion: There isn't a single equal parts cocktail that should be made that way. Every single one is better if you re-spec it

🍽 Poached Salmon has quickly become one of my favorite quick and healthy weeknight dinners.
Sear>deglaze>poach
Takes 20 minutes tops and works with almost any flavor profile you can throw at it.
Tonight's version: Poached salmon with sun-dried tomato cream sauce, spinach and rosemary rice

Bartender's fun fact of the day:
The tequila sunrise was invented in the 1920s, and wasn't made with orange juice until the 70s.

Absinthe never made anyone hallucinate.
It was made illegal because a bunch of crazy Christians thought God was punishing them for drinking by killing off all of Europe's grapes.

PSA
Most vodka is not made from potatoes.
French winter wheat is by far the most popular base for vodka, but it can technically be made from anything that has enough starches or sugars.
Early in its history, the most popular base was sugar beets.

Hot take: The standard specs for a negroni are wrong.
Instead of 1:1:1 try
1.5 gin
.75 sweet vermouth
.75 red bitter
It's much more balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet. This way, the bitter highlights the flavors of the gin rather than completely drowning them out.

There are two kinds of espresso martini:
"I want a boozy shot of espresso"
-And-
"Do you make, like, a vanilla latte?"

A good tuna melt is my favorite post-holiday lunch, when you need something light and fresh, but still need to scratch that diner food itch.
Just don't forget the salad part of the tuna salad, nobody wants a hot cat food sandwich.

Mezcal is the umbrella term for anything distilled from agave.
Which means technically your favorite mezcal can, in fact, be tequila.

Fun Fact:
An Old Fashioned isn't a specific cocktail but a way of ordering a spirit, with sugar and bitters.
Which means you can order an old fashioned with brandy, rum, or even gin!
Don't be afraid. Get weird.
Thank me later.
