BOULEVARDIER:

1 oz Compari​
1 oz Sweet Vermouth​
1.5 oz Bourbon​
Dash of Orange Bitters​

In my case I used an Italian Sweet Vermouth, the Bourbon is HIRSCH. I also garnished with 3 wild cherries preserved in a sweet heavy syrup.

Boulvardier cocktail:

Campari, Sweet Vermouth, Bourbon, 3 cherries, dash of orange bitters

Same ingredients as in the photo above, except I switched to a different vermouth. I have several varieties of sweet vermouth on hand. Just mixing up the flavors a bit.

When I was finished piddling and sweating this afternoon I had a Negra Modelo. During the course of the evening I had 2 Scotch, nothing special... Johnny Walker. Right now I am drinking a Powerade Zero. Jeez ... my life.

I have not decided but it will be strong enough to qualify as a painkiller.

We got a crack in the bottom of our fiberglass pool. Warranty will cover the repair, crews will be here Tuesday & Wednesday to repair it. But while the water level is low I got the STUPID IDEA of scrubbing the side walls. They have not had a good scrubbing since the pool was originally filled 10 years ago. And by scrub I mean deep clean scrub. Not just brush with a pool brush.

So I have been scrubbing. My body is in pain. Not sure if it is arthritis pain or old age pain. Probably a combination of the two.

What I can tell you is that whatever drink I will be having, it will likely be over 100 proof, and probably be at least 2 fingers deep. 3 seems more likely.

Looks like I was wrong. It is under 100 proof. It is a limited release, but I wouldn’t say it is rare. But it is damn tasty! And the pain in my body subsided enough that I didn’t need painkiller quantities.

Root Beer whiskey. Believe it or not, it is quite good.

not a drinking whiskey, a sipping one. Two fingers goes a long way.

Kinda sweet, but very full bodied and yes, like good old fashioned root beer.

"BobWhite" wine from Hopewell cellars of Summer Hill in western Illinois; US HWY 54

I discovered this small winery three months ago. Went by today on my way home from Decatur IL.

They were bottling this vintage today. THe wife likes very few wines but this on is her favorite.

Bought a case.

Well have one tonite but it will be better in a few years. I gave two away today so 9 bottles in the cellar for next season.

They have another one I favorcalled BLUE QWINE. It is actually blackberry wine. I tasted the fermenting must today. it will be ready in a few weeks.
