Trying new things because it’s time to clear off the bar because it’s going beyond the bar. So today’s drink of choice, an Almond Old Fashion. Cheers 🍸

Because why not start this cold snowy NFL Championship Sunday with a brown sugar coffee version of a White Russian

It was a boozy hot chocolate type of night 🥶

This has been the longest week of the year. Is an emergency that’s a been holding since 12/22 really an emergency? 🤦🏽♀️. Anywho I had to run back an oldie but a goody the pea flower and lemongrass gin martini. I couldn’t find my strainer so it all got poured in 😂. Cheers 🍸
#BlackSkyDrinkingLounge
It’s finals week so I ran back an oldie but goodie that’s a quickie. This one came about from the wine fest with @livsexynj.blacksky.app & @andiiboo.bsky.social
SN: Bumbu Rum is worth a solid sip from a non-rum drinker.

Ohhhh, tomorrow is December 1st. Yall know what that means?

My holiday break has begun. Might as well sip while baking up these desserts.
A peach old fashion. Yes I put the fresh peach juice in that container (it’s already labeled) 😂 & don’t judge the ice, I forgot to make some more big ice, but it still works 🤷🏽♀️

Gimlet as the night cap #blackskydrinkinglounge
I got a little excited and took a sip (or two, maybe three,lol) before I remembered to take a picture.
When I say this was the most delicious while still being lite & refreshing & most beautiful shade of green cucumber mint vodka martini.

Had the opportunity to visit a wine festival with @livsexynj.bsky.social & @andiiboo.bsky.social this weekend. This pairing was recommended at the tasting. (Chef’s kiss 🤌🏽 recommendation)
#BlackSkyDrinkingLounge
Started listening to Cocktail College podcast. They discussed, oils & how they add to the nose when spritzed across the top.They told no tales. This Old Fashion with demerara rich syrup & a slight spritz of orange & cherry oils at the end (I forgot to make more big rocks ☹️)
#BlackSkyDrinkingLounge
My herb garden has sprouted out of control so in the lab I go. A pea flower and lemongrass gin martini for the evening.
#BlackSkyDrinkingLounge
Between work & school, I’ve been swamped but I took some time this weekend to shake a mix or 2. This summer refresher was made with the watermelon & mint tea by MintyBongWater, Equanimity Blanco Tequila (both black-owned businesses, check them out on IG) & honey syrup.

Starting the evening off with
The Glenlivet 12 Single Malt Scotch
This is typically one of my go to Scotches. To add to it's already charred barrel flavor, try apple wood smoking this one. You will not be disappointed.

Crown Royal Single Malt
Although this one can stand alone (neat) and on the rocks, it's best when mixed. Smoother than the original Crown Royal, so much so that it really doesn't have much personally.
4/10 Bar worthiness

Scarabus Islay Single Malt
I am pleasantly surprised by this one. The light color threw me off when I first poured a glass. But it has a deep smokey flavor and goes down easy.
7.5/10 Bar worthiness

The week started cold & rainy, stayed cold and ended rainy & cold. Tonight was all about a what’s in the freezer/fridge meal and what’s on the bar drink. TGIF 🥂
#BlackSkyDrinkingLounge
It was an Old Fashion kind of evening. We’re half way there 🫠

This week was about practicing my layering and topping. A New York Sour. SN: Diggs Boys, is a black owned bourbon distiller. If you come across it, do yourself a huge favor & pick it up. 😋
