Any Aperol Spritz fans out there? They’re pretty but way too sweet for my palate. Aperol’s website has them at a 3:2 ratio of Aperol to champagne; I tasted that and immediately flipped it to 2:3. Any ideas on how to elevate this sugar bomb?

Shopping the ingredients for a raspberry shrub for this week’s cocktail. Reading the news, gritting my teeth. Trying to escape the feeling I’m bartending on the deck of the Titanic.

Workshopping a dirty martini for this weeks article. Last attempt was 1 1/2 oz olive brine, 5 muddled olives, 2 1/2 oz Tito’s. Color is wonderful, but unbearably salty and much olive flavor. Scaling it down to 1 oz brine, 3 olives, and olive oil infused vodka. How do you like your dirty martini?

Because it's 2025 and a martini for breakfast seems utterly sensible.

I am seriously considering spending as little time sober as possible in 2024.

Too tired to get to practice yesterday. It’s been a long week. I’ll do some drills tomorrow or Friday and try to hit 2-3 practices next week. #fencing #hema #sca #cleftlands
