I was supposed to be in Nashville but my flight was cancelled "due to weather" despite both D.C. and Nashville having fine weather. Then, my options for flights was severely limited (unless I wanted to spend almost $700) such that I'd have to either wake up at 4:30 a.m. or have less than 24 hours in Nashville. Neither of those options made sense. So I stayed home and drove T crazy moping around. She got sick of my moping and told me to leave the house. I went to the liquor store and spent a lot of money. It did make me feel better. But I still missed seeing my friends.
Piper continues to do well. She is really moving now. We definitely need to sweep more frequently. The picture included above is current. The one below, that includes the Revolver, is a few months old. The difference is staggering.
A cocktail I've been making (and recommending a lot), the Revolver is a great option if you like bourbon and you don't have citrus. The drink does not come off tasting of coffee. In fact, a few people for whom I've made it haven't even been able to place the coffee flavor. Rather, the coffee liqueur (I've actually use a few brands) provides the sweetness that simple syrup might otherwise provide. The result is a just slightly sweetened bourbon that has great depth.
Revolver
- 2 ounces bourbon (Bulleit)
- 1/2 ounce coffee liqueur (Kalhua)
- 2 dashes orange bitters (Fee Brothers)
