Based on the classic Brandy Alexander, this creamy cocktail with nutmeg makes for an excellent holiday cocktail.

Dry martini with pickled onions.
I finished off the Tanqueray Dry Gin last night. Tonight I’ve broken open a bottle of The Botanist, Islay Dry Gin 22 (46% ABV), which is new to me. On first breath, it’s reminiscent of Bombay Sapphire, but lighter and not as heavily dominated by juniper. The botanicals are more muted, but still complex when mixed with Vermouth (2:1).

Tonight’s cocktail for some leisurely reading as an accompaniment.

Normally I would be having a peaty single malt Scotch, but since I’m reading Graeber’s Pirate Enlightenment, I feel obligated to work on a bottle of white rum tonight. 📖🏴☠️🥃
3oz. over ice. Very smoky/peaty with a long finish.
The inaugural cocktail (a rusty nail with an orange twist) for the new fire pit. We’ve had it for over a year now and not managed to actually break it in. The weather is cool, but nice, so no time like the present.
Trying to kickstart my brain into doing something useful today.
I accidentally ordered the Ito burrito instead of the Ross Perot. Don’t do this again.
