French Blonde

We’re reading Taylor drinks French Blonde cocktails. Need we say more? Why not serve them for the Taylor Bowl? Gin, the French aperitif Lillet, St-Germain liqueur, and grapefruit juice.  Combine ingredients in a Super Bowl-sized pitcher, drink, and then make a pitcher for your guests.

Shirley Temples

We’re reading that lots of restaurants are adding non-alcoholic cocktails to their menus.  We suppose that’s good, though it seems there’s a lot of sugary concocutions out there that cost about the same as a real cocktail.  Exotic Shirley Temples.  We did try an Athletic IPA at a bar recently and we found it to do the trick.  Tasted like an IPA and even lacked some of the bitterness.   During Dry January every little bit helps so we suppose the words we’re looking for are “thank you”.  One more day!

One A Day

This was in the Washington Post:

Multivitamins may help slow memory loss in older adults, study shows

A large trial found that people ages 60 and older who took a daily multivitamin showed an estimated 3.1 fewer years of memory loss than those who took a placebo.”

“May help slow?” I can’t remember the last time we got anything definitive from these scientists!! Or was it yesterday? Not sure.

Shot of Endorphins

Endorphins are produced by our bodies and can alleviate pain, lower stress, and improve mood. That can be useful for those of us not particularly enjoying Dry January. How can we increase our endorphin output, you might ask. Well, consider exercise, acupuncture, meditation, aroma therapy, sex, dark chocolate, laughing with friends, watching a dramatic movie, doing a random act of kindness, making music, getting some sun, getting a massage, taking a hot bath, trying a new sport, eating spicy foods, watching a funny movie, trying dopamine supplements, making time to play, or enjoying a sauna. Warning! Buzzed Boomers, many of these could be hazardous to your health. Your doctor should come to your house to supervise these activities before attempting.

Drink Up!

CNN — 

“As the new year approaches, you might be thinking about buying a bottle of champagne to ring it in with a celebratory “pop.” But the climate crisis could ruin the party, new data suggests.

The three grapes used in almost all champagne — chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier — are among hundreds on the brink of extinction, according to Silicon Valley startup ClimateAi, which shared data insights with CNN. That’s because the human-caused climate crisis is warming and altering weather patterns in some of the world’s best-known wine-growing regions, including Champagne in northern France.

By 2050, these popular grape varieties may cease to exist.”

2050. Well, we’re good for this New Year’s Eve!

Martha Says….

We read that Martha Stewart prefers Polish vodkas for her cocktails.  Brands like Belvedere use rye, rather than wheat, sorghum, potatoes or sugar beats.  Here’s what Belvedere says.  “Belvedere Organic Vodka is the world’s first Luxury Polish Vodka, produced in Poland’s longest operating vodka distillery, founded in 1910. Belvedere Organic Vodka is created from 100% organic rye.

Belvedere’s Master Rye Distillers draw from a 600-year-old polish vodka-making tradition, to artfully craft Polish rye into an extraordinary vodka of distinct taste and character.”
