What's new

What are you drinking tonight?

Five ounces of sugar into a 1.75 liter bottle.
Add one half liter of Everclear, actually a little more than that.
Add one half ounce of vanilla extract.

A quarter teaspoon of cocoa butter in a half teaspoon of coconut oil
microwaved in a shot glass for one minute.
Swirl the hot glass until the cocoa butter disolves
and then pour that into the 1.75 liter bottle.

Add one liter of water.

Only drink this in a glass filled with ice.
This tastes pretty good freezing cold.
At room temperature, it doesn't taste like much of anything.

And that's what I'm drinking tonight.
They call it Pete's Chocolate Babka.

I think my next drink will be a Fancy Free or a Jungle Bird. Old school versus tiki. Any unusual tiki in that it is supposed to actually have pineapple juice in it.
 
I tried a Fancy Free, which is essentially an old-fashioned plus a 1/2 oz of maraschino liqueur, with pre-prohibition roots, as I understand it. It was okay. I do not think it is going to replace a regular old-fashioned for me.

Next up, Jungle Bird. I guess I am going to have to buy and juice a pineapple.
