Detour

I’ve made many friends from around the world with boxes and booze over the years. It’s always fun to join some of them for a drink. I’m featuring the beautiful “Detour” Box on my blog this week and who better to have created the cocktail toast this time than the fine fellows over at @cocktaildetour

They have embraced the theme, making something that starts out familiar, but takes an unexpected turn. If you ride along, you’ll be glad you did.

Read more about the journey and get the full specs on Boxes and Booze - cheers!

Punch has declared a smoking renaissance, with cigarette cocktail garnishes making appearances lately as well. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but am complicit, having made this citrus cigarette for a trendy vintage cocktail recently as well.

Happy Tolkien Reading Day!

Sponsored by the international Tolkien Society, this annual holiday celebrates the great author and his beloved stories.

I’m celebrating with what I imagine a proper LOTR cocktail would need to have: Scotch, and in particular something with a nice peat smoke to it. It should taste like a warm hobbit hole in the Shire, full of dwarves planning a mountain raid, or perhaps, like the smoky fires of Mount Doom at the end of an epic journey. It might have notes of bittersweet nostalgia for a time long past, from a dream almost forgotten. If you look closely, you might barely recognize the elements of a Negroni, but, you might not. If you need me, I’ll be at the Prancing Pony – cheers.

1.5 oz Talisker
.75 oz Ramazotti
.75 oz Lillet
dash orange bitters
dash cold water

Sending a drink out to my friends. I think we should all be drinking scaffas right now, they’ve got no ice. 

Join me if you agree. 

Reluctant Saint by Fred Yarm

1 oz mezcal
1 oz Byrrh Grand Quinquina
¾ oz Campari
¼ oz crème de cacao
1 dash absinthe

Combine ingredients in a favorite glass and serve at room temperature. Orange twist recommended.

Cleri-who?
It’s National Clerihew day, time for some silly poems folks. Let’s see what you got.

about having to choose
Between Boxes and Booze

Don’t choose! Have both. That’s what I say, anyhow.

Decade

It’s been a minute … in fact, it’s been 5,256,000 minutes and counting. I started writing Boxes and Booze exactly ten years ago, and if you haven’t explored the site or read the blog in a while, or ever, well now would be a fine time!

Cheers!

Get in the Spirit!

This gorgeous cocktail shaker is actually … a puzzle! Surprised? Probably not, knowing me, but what’s even cooler is that it was made by @pacificpuzzleworks - one of the foremost designers in the world.

Of course, what any great cocktail shaker needs is a reason to exist, so here’s a nice collection of bespoke B&B cocktails from over the past decade.

What’s more, the shaker puzzle and book are still available - check them out via the link in my profile to learn more. Cheers! by @boxesandbooze
