For some reason I've been convinced that I don't like gin, but trying it again today, I'm not sure why I thought I didn't like it. Zach made me a gin and tonic and it was as tasty as my old standby, a vodka tonic.

We've been drinking Pimm's Cups since last year, but tried a little different version. I like this version better.

Another cocktail tried and enjoyed! I love all the great cocktail recipes for summer.

We made this with Ceylon tea and vodka along with our homemade Meyer limoncello. A perfect summer cocktail.

We had left over pale ale and sparkling lemonade from a party so instead of our customary Sunday bloody mary, Zach suggested we make a Shandy. We mixed them 50/50 lemonade and beer. The results are very drinkable, which is good because I was planning to make this my standby when we go to Oktoberfest this fall in Munich, where I'll be ordering it as a Radler (German for cyclist). I figure if I'm going to drink nonstop for several days and plan to keep up, I better have a less alcoholic fall back or I'll be under the table in no time.

We started with a Jack Rose cocktail. Zach went to the liquor store yesterday and purchased brandy and sherry for Thanksgiving. We found a recipe for a Jack Rose, which uses apple jack brandy, simple syrup, grenadine, maraschino cherry, lemon juice and an apple slice. After getting past the brandy smell, the drink was quite tasty. Here's a recipe, but you'll want to add about three quarters of an ounce simple syrup: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/drink/views/Jack-Rose-236103. The resulting cocktail is pretty too.

I am in the middle of a two week tour of the west spending some time in Denver with my friend Karen. I have tried a few things, mostly food - duck confit sandwich, blueberry lavender lemonade and a sea salt dark chocolate bark. All of these were wonderfully tasty.
