It's not really dessert I know, but it's sweet and it's what I was up to.
First Vodka. Who knew that vodka doesn't always suck on its own? And that it is sometimes particularly good in a giant moscow mule....
I covered the launch of Glass Vodka and the Glass Distillery in SODO on friday. Mostly I got to to listen men in silver suits with pocket squares tell me about premium Vodka and got to feel a little like P.Diddy on a yatch. It was fun.
I also got to eat steak on little squares of toast.
yum.
That would have still been a good about amount of distillery action for me for one week, or rather, more than usual. But then on Saturday I got to help bottle, label, and package Big Gin for my friends at Captive Spirit. Seriously what a perfect Saturday. Good music, good people, good coffee, and of course good gin.
Really good gin.
Specifically, I got to try their barrel aged gin- aged in barrels from Heaven Hills Distillery- and that tastes exactly how I sometimes wish whiskey tasted like all of the time. Good bless America.
Oh and one last thing non-booze related, for now at least I still think rhubarb lemon gin and tonics sound good, I bought, sliced, bagged, and froze a lot of rhubarb.
A lot. Somewhere in the eight to ten pounds range....
It won't be exactly the same, I know, but the chance at winter rhubarb pies and dream bars was too hard to resist, if they last that long...
Make me a strawberry rhubarb pie and come to Portland on friday night. I am going to a Dolly parton tribute show, you were the first person I thought of when I saw the flyer, I feel like you would love it. You can bring some moscow mules too, damn now I want a moscow mule......
ReplyDeleteI would love to do that! Why do silly things get in the way? miss you, have a moscow mule for me though!
