We had a magnificent time at the Cured – Belle Meade Bourbon Paired Dinner this past week in San Antonio. A meal at Cured Charcuterie is always a treat and this 5 course pairing was no exception. Visiting with Andy Nelson of Green Briar Distillery and hearing about the resurrection…
It is Mixology Monday for December and it’s all about apples. This most excellent theme is the brain child of Frederic at Cocktail Virgin Slut, this month’s host. Once again, we have two drinks to offer: Cider Punch and the Plymouth Old Fashioned.
This came out of my recent exploration of the venerable Manhattan. A few weeks ago, we attended a dinner where the chef paired each course with a specific libation. He included an excellent Manhattan with a small batch bourbon and an Italian Vermouth. Inspired by this, I have determinedly pursued…
This drink requires Bad Dog Barcraft’s Fire and Damnation Bitters available here. You want several dashes of the bitters to enable the flavors to come through. Then balance the bitterness with the agave. Be careful not to make it sweet.

I got this idea from Jamie Boudreau – famous mixologist. I make this with WheyLow, which goes into solution, but I can only get 3/4 cup to dissolve. Plus, the WheyLow will start to come out of solution after a few days. I prefer my house made bitters, of course,…
This is based on the Cubed Old Fashioned. I changed the syrup and the bitters. This has a bigger cinnamon flavor than the original and is perfect for those cold winter’s nights, (which in San Antonio means anything under 50 degrees). The syrup is made with brown sugar so it…
