Friday Fête: Three Drinks
I promise to get up “U.K. Drinks: Part Two” soon (Part One’s below if you missed it), but to tide you over until that time (a time that’s, honestly, dependant on whether or not I can quit watching the new Robots in Disguise video for “The Tears” over and over), here are three cocktails for you to sip from the drinker’s blogosphere.
-
Remember the Maine: Over at Oh Gosh! you’ll find two variations (one drier) of this rye-based cocktail, which is from one of my favorite books, Charles H. Baker’s The Gentleman’s Companion. If you don’t try both, you’ll only have yourself to blame. And that would be a sorry way to spend the weekend.
-
The Scofflaw: Wow, I love this drink. Cause I’m sort-of an outlaw (well, only when dreaming–and even then it’s more like a silly comic book outlaw. Like Stilt Man maybe), much like the libatious ladies at LUPEC Boston, who bring this cocktail up as part of their Endangered Cocktails of the Month.
-
Damson Gin: Okay, you won’t be able to drink the results of this recipe from The Spirit World this weekend, but darnit, if you don’t start now, you won’t be able to drink it any weekend. Which would be a crazy shame. And you don’t want to be crazy, do you? At least not the kind of crazy that doesn’t have their own homemade Damson Gin to drink.

Thanks for the link love, AJ! Perhaps we’ll toast this cocktail in person when you’re here promoting your new books in a few weeks? Cin-cin!
