Drink of the Week!

Well, It's been awhile since our last post. I would like to share with you a drink of the week.  I've never been a fan of gin.  I always thought it had a horrible smell, so that made me think the taste was no better.  It wasn't until this last summer that all changed. 

I would like to share with you the drink that changed my gin mind.  This cocktail is called 'BEE'S KNEES'  One sip from this cocktail, and my hate disappeared.  The odor was masked so well, that I thought I was drinking vodka. The secret is to use a  dry gin for the cocktail.

Here are the ingredients you will need:

2 ounces Gin

1 1/2 ounce sweet and sour

1 ounce honey syrup

Lemon wedge for garnish

Takes about three minutes to make this easy delicious drink.

1. Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
2. Shake well.
3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Voilà!  Now drink up, but make sure you pace yourself.  We would hate to hear you broke one of our rules:'(

Also, remember to call a cab, uber or lyft.  We don't want you driving around the streets of L.A intoxicated.  Stay safe ladies and gentleman!
 

Sometimes rules are made to be broken

We had our holiday party at work this week. There was fireball. There was Jameson. There was karaoke (with lots of Disney songs thanks to Shauna).  We were a total HOTMESS. We broke rules and made no apologies about it. So we decided we couldn't lecture anyone on the rules of liquor and love and appropriate bar behavior. The sheer amount of Uber receipts sitting in my email inbox wouldn't let me anyway. We could have relied on the whole "do as we say, not as we do" thing but we just aren't those kind of girls. So this week we fell off our high horse. I'm confident we will climb back on it soon. But we may wait until all the holiday cocktailing is over. Happy Holidays!!

Drink of the week

This week at the bar we had a meeting about the new cocktail list we will be launching. I got to thinking about our blog and since it's supposed to be about liquor AND love I thought why not bring you recipes of our favorite cocktails! Since I love to drink whiskey and bourbon I am going to start with this little number

1 (or  1 1/2 cause let's be honest) shots of Bulleit bourbon

Agave nectar

A little sugar

Squeeze a few lemons

A dash of sprite

Measurements?

I don't believe in them. Measure to taste.

The bourbon will keep you warm on this chilly night. Believe me! 

Now, as crazy as it is I have a friday night off! I am going to put on a cute dress and go drink a few of these while Shauna works her behind off. 

Happy and safe drinking this weekend. Remember to use Uber or Lyft or go old school and call a cab while out holiday partying. 

XO,

Jenny
