Taxes Make Us Thirsty

It’s that time. Taxes are due tomorrow on April 18th. Time to pay or time to play. Either way, an Income Tax Cocktail is the answer and fully deductible (consult your own tax adviser about that). Here’s a recipe from Serious Eats..

  • 1 1/2 ounces gin
  • 3/4 ounce dry vermouth
  • 3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
  • 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed orange juice from 1 orange
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • Garnish: orange wheel (optional)

Add gin, dry vermouth, sweet vermouth, orange juice, and bitters to an ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake until well chilled. Strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange wheel and serve.

Towering Champagne Bar

On March 31, 1889, the Eiffel Tower, a wrought iron technological masterpiece was inaugurated in Paris, says Britannia.  To celebrate, visit the Champagne Bar at the top and enjoy some bubbly in an illuminated glass!  Or look for Paris Seduction Vodka in a bottle shaped like the Eiffel Tower.  This powerful and aroma-rich vodka is great with cocktails.

Sante!

Springtime Ranch Water

Spring is here and it’s time for a refreshing cocktail that’s lower on the calorie count scale.  Prepping the beach bod.  So pour us a Ranch Water!  An exciting blend of tequila, mineral water, and lime juice.  Did we mention it’s lower in calories than most cocktails.  That’s exciting even if the drink isn’t.  Hence the name Ranch Water.

It also comes in a can.  Just trying to help.

Everything You Know Is Wrong

A great philosopher once said, “Everything you know is wrong.”  Or maybe it was Firesign Theater.  Regardless, once again what we what thought was true may not be. Like eggs and butter being scary bad.  So now a study by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons finds that running may not increase arthritis risk.  Other factors may have a larger impact like family history and BMI.  Read about it here in Mind Body Green.
