"Perry & Reed Fix" 2 oz gin (Nautical) 3/4 oz lime juice 1/2 oz dry curaçao (Pierre Ferrand) 1/2 oz pineapple gomme syrup 1/4 oz Yellow Chartreuse The Hotel Cecil from 1896-1930 in the Strand district of London. Demolished in 1930, the facade still stands. Perry & Reed were the architects behind it's design. As a fix, this should have a fairly elaborate garnish, but I'm lazy. #oneyearofcocktails #craftcocktails #extincthotel #extincthotelseries #gin #curacao #drycuracao #chartreuse #yellowchartreuse #pineapple #pineapplegomme #lime #freshjuice #fix #igcocktail #igsomerville #igboston #vsco #shotonmoment @nauticalgin @pierreferrandpf @chartreuse_liq (at Somerville, Massachusetts)

Now that birthday activities have ceased, it's back to work. Kicking things off are adventures in oleo saccharum. I find people primarily use lemons, but I'm going lime and grapefruit. These should be ready in a few days, and hopefully by then I'll have thought of a good use for them. #oneyearofcocktails #oleosaccharum #sugar #lime #grapefruit #citrus #oil #igsomerville #igboston #vsco #shotonmoment (at Somerville, Massachusetts)

An old friend hit me up for an original margarita recipe this morning so she could beat her sister in a home competition. I'm hoping this salted watermelon & mint offering wins the day. #oneyearofcocktails #craftcocktails #margarita #watermelon #saltedwatermelon #mint #lime #tequila #agave #igcocktail #igsomerville #igboston #vsco #shotonmoment @lunazultequila @cointreau_officiel (at Boston, Massachusetts)

In lieu of getting anything done on my one day off, I have chosen to get drunk instead.

Today's cocktail was done on the fly for The Boston Globe. The name is a nod to being filmed. "Eye In The Sky" 1 oz sweet vermouth (Cocchi Dopo Teatro Vermouth Amaro) 1 oz Amaro di Angostura 3/4 oz house made falernum 3/4 oz fresh lime juice 1/2 oz Becherovka It's tiki sweet, but has a lot of nice spice. I'm pretty pleased overall. #oneyearofcocktails #craftcocktails #vermouth #sweetvermouth #dopoteatro #amaro #angostura #falernum #tiki #lime #freshjuice #becherovka #igcocktail #igsomerville #igboston #vsco #shotonmoment @giuliococchi @angosturahouse @becherovkaoriginal @bostonglobe (at Somerville, Massachusetts)
