Been a while since my last post. We were on vacation. Here's a little something we worked on while on vacation. Got some new ideas, to add, so this is just a trailer.

Cocktail of the Week - Ti Punch


Travel Bar in Action 2, originally uploaded by Experiment 33.

Thought I'd give everyone a break from our surrealist cocktails and share something new we tried. Ti Punch is popular in the French Caribbean. The Ti is short for petite. It is simply a mixture of lime juice, simply syrup, and rum that is traditionally served in a way that each person makes his or her own. This is currently the drink of the month at the Fraternal Order of Moai and skitiki has provided a nice introduction over there. Four our ti punches, I went with a wine glass full of ice, juice of one lime, healthy splash of simple syrup, topped with rum. It was perfect four our Bed and Breakfast in Key West last weekend as we celebrated our lucky 13th wedding anniversary.

Cheers!

Cocktail of the Week - Sidecar


Classic Sidecar, originally uploaded by chipandandy.

1oz Brandy
1oz Cointreau
1oz Lemon Juice

Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. An old classic served on decadent Sunday because it was very popular in Paris around the heyday of the Surrealists. The name is said to have come about due to an eccentric army captain who was chauffeured to and from the bar in a motorcycle sidecar.

Cheers!
