Wednesday Nov 10, 2021

Tonight's cocktails:
Pear Elderflower Martini
(from: https://kitchenswagger.com/pear-elderflower-martini-recipe/)
- 2 ounces pear vodka (Grey goose La Poire is definitely best. I tried the Absolute Pear for a while and there really is no comparison.)
- 1/2 ounce St. Germain Elderflower Liquer
- 1 ounce lemon juice
- 1 ounce simple syrup
Pour all ingredients into a shaker with some ice. Shake well. Strain into glass. Garnish with a slice of pear if you'd like, but I never have pears on hand, so I rarely do that.
Will's Favorite Martini
- 2 ounces Uncle Nearest 1856 Whiskey
- 1 ounce Dolin Rouge Sweet Vermouth (the red one)
- 2 drops (DROPS not dashes) Angostura bitters
- 1 drop (again DROP) Orange bitters
- Luxardo Original Maraschino Cherries (not those hot mess super red cherries you can buy anywhere)
I usually start with the bitters because if you get too much it make the whole drink WAY too bitter. This way, If I get too much in, I start over. Add in the Whiskey and Vermouth. Add 2 cherries, plus just a little of the syrup they come in. Stir gently. (Sorry Bond, no shaking here.) Traditional is without ice (neat), but add a cube or 2 of ice if you prefer. When we have them, we use the large slow melting ice spheres.

Wednesday Nov 03, 2021
Wednesday Nov 03, 2021
It's our favorite month here at BlerdMom and probably not for the reason you think. It's not the costumes. It's the old, terrible Halloween movies we love to watch. Vincent Price, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee are in constant rotation around here all October.
