A bottle of Sahti that's been sitting in the cellar for a year and a bit. Doesn't seem to have done it any harm.
It's a strong (11%) Finnish style of rye and wheat beer spiced with honey, juniper and sea wormwood. Tastes kinda like mead. Quite pleasant.

The liquor fairy (Joe the UPS man) brought me two bottles of St James Hors D' Age and a bottle of Clement VSOP. I be having a Mai Tai battle in less than two hours!

Followed by a Derby Daiquiri (made with 3-year old Havana Club), a glass of Prichards and a glass of Rivière du Mât. Got a bit carried away...

Picked up some Benedictine in order to make a particular cocktail... but the stuff tastes so damn good by itself, I'm just drinking it straight up in a snifter.
I'll save the cocktail for tomorrow.

I've already enjoyed a Miehana this evening, for the first time with fresh squeezed orange juice thanks to this new guy:
Fresh squeezed limes and lemons were always standard fare thanks to a hand juicer (squeezer). But oranges were always too large for that tool. Now I have a better tool. And the difference is pronounced.
And now, off to a Damon's Mai-Tai via Taboo Table.

Yesterday afternoon . . . MISSIONARY'S DOWNFALL from "Remixed" (pg. 73. A very labor-intensive drink (mint leaf plucking), and in my opinion,a bit short on the rum (only 1 oz.) so I boosted it by .5 oz ( could probably even handle 2 oz. quite nicely)-. . . . a pleasant, refreshing drink - one I'll reserve for "Special Occasions"

Made the 50s and 30s versions of the Singapore Sling yesterday.
They were okay... I just think I'm not a gin guy at all.
Made a super rummy Mai-Tai afterward and everything was a-ok from there on out.

This week has been a beeeeotch so there has been liquor nearly every day. Got to do something to relax my shoulders before bed, otherwise I wake up with a stiff neck.
So, this week...
Sunday: Bloody Marys at a friend's party: vodka, tomato juice, tobasco, lime juice, celery salt, celery stick.
Monday: Vesper (full strength) starring Boodles Gin. that's 4oz of straight alcohol. without dinner. Too tipsy to cook.
Tuesday: Pink Mai Tai using cruzan cheapo rum, but some schmancy Patron orange liquor. Nom.
Wednesday: Mojitos with Pyrat rum and Goya Ginger Beer (loads of capsicum)
Thursday: Absinthe & Irish Cream (equal parts) (what can I say, I like licorice). And Celtic Cross straight up. And then Celtic Cross with some whiskey, I think it was Maker's Mark but I have a lot of whiskey and might have grabbed something else. While watching 3 hours of "Arrested Development" which was a lot funnier than I expected (although I'm sure the booze helped).
Friday: Some of this... needs a name...
http://www.instructables.com/id/Chartreuse-Chambord-Ginger-Beer-Cocktail/
1.5 oz Green Chartreuse
.5 oz Chambord
Goya Ginger Beer
A dash of Angostura bitters (optional)
and then your general cuba libre with diet or mex coke to keep up the buzz.
And now, without further adieu, now that the sun has risen, I am off to bed til this afternoon. I am a night person big time. And since it is Saturday and I do not have to work at all today, I might only drink some water and herb tea today when I get up again. Gonna make a cake for mum's day, probably shouldn't drink booze and do cake icing at the same time. It would probably not work out too well.
