Today is #nationalmargaritaday ! Here are some pictures of my margarita for this year: The Bunny Garden Margarita - the basil simple syrup and the Seedlip Garden 108 add a distinct vegetal flavor that pairs well with the citrus and tequila! I'll post my recipe later this evening!

Kick off dry January with a zero alcohol spirit

After the excesses of December comes Dry January. If you have decided to give up alcohol, or even just take a pause, it is easier this year than ever before as bars and mixologists experiment with zero-alcohol drinks. While the Dry January challenge, which started in the west around 2013-14, has gained traction, with a lot of help from social media, there has been a growing demand for healthier…

On the wagon for dry January. Wish me luck, today is day 10 without a drink.

hello! recently ive had an obsession with drinks, and almost each night ive been making one, ranging from chai latte to orange julius, to milkshakes. but ive been running out - do you happen to have any recipes? nonalcoholic would be preferable, and names are just fine too unless it’s not a wide spread concoction. thank you!!!

How about instead of a recipe, I give you some less-used ingredients and you can DIY some combinations?

Red Bell Pepper Juice! You can sometimes buy it at specialty stores, or you can blend/crush/mash some red bell peppers and strain the juice out yourself. I really like it combined with simple syrup and lime juice for a rich mocktail.

You can also use other vegetable juices in fun little drinks. Carrot juice can be surprisingly sweet. Sugar Beets are named that for a reason. There's a lot of folks down here in the south who just drink sweetcorn juice.

You can get a deeper, smokier flavor by braising your veggies until they char a little, before juicing them.

Seedlip Spice 94, for an herbal, conifer-like flavor. I love this paired with lavender syrup, in any clear soda. It tastes like summer!

Coconut Cream (not coconut water! It's different!) Can be used as a base instead of ice cream, with frozen mango for an ultra-creamy, richly flavored frozen drink. The ratios here will be different, so use your own judgement.

Consider going to a foreign food market, and buying like... random canned fruit you've never heard of. Using lychee syrup is delicious. You can also look around for fruits and drinks you've never tried. There's a whole world out there of packaged drink powders!

Gochujang sweetened with honey and lime, cut with ginger beer is... an experience. Get the ratios right, and it's addictive.

Think about muddling herbs/fruits into your clear soda, which aren't just 'mint and cucumber' - Basil and lime. Dill and apple. Blackberry and Anise.

Had muddled basil and simple syrup in some iced coffee recently. It was intriguing. Good? Not sure, but it compelled me.

Be adventurous and you'll never run out of new flavor combinations to try~

The Old Ironside: A Recipe and Ramble

In preparation for the first games of the Professional Womens Hockey Leauge (PWHL) I am testing out cocktails for each team that hopefully will make an appearance at my watch party. First up I am making a drink for the Boston Fleet.

The Old Ironside (thank you to everyone who voted) is inspired by nautical history and Boston history as well. The special ingredient here is an earl grey syrup that is basically an infused simple syrup. (Recipe for that can be found here) While I understand that an earl grey tea blend we drink today would not have been what was originally thrown overboard, it is a close match that has orange in it. And that orange pairs nicely with the orange juice used in the recipe. The orange and rum lean more to the nautical history of sailors while the tea is a reference to the Boston tea party.

Technically there are three recipes included here. How to make a single glass, how to batch for a party, and a mocktail option. Even if you are not a Boston Fleet fan, this cocktail is a fun and bright refreshment that can be really fun at a party.

(Unfortunately there has been an ant takeover in the kitchen and there isn’t a clean or pretty surface to take pictures of the cocktails right now. Pictures will come when things are clean and there isn’t ant poison in the background.)

 Old Ironside for One  

½ ounce earl grey syrup

1 ounce orange juice

2 ounces rum

Tonic water

Ice

Fill a cocktail glass with ice and pour in the syrup, orange juice, and rum. Give it a bit of a stir before topping it off with tonic water. You can add an orange peel to make it feel fancier.

              Old Ironside Batched

              Keeping a 1/2/4 ratio in mind, fill a pitcher with one part earl grey syrup, two parts orange juice, and four parts rum. I usually use a mason jar when doing this at home, but you can use any measurement that makes sense for you. Invite guests to fill a cup with ice and pour in the cocktail mixture a third of the way in, top off with tonic water, and enjoy!

Old Ironside Mocktail

There are two options here. First is to simply remove the rum from the cocktail. This really lets the earl grey syrup shine. The second would be to replace the rum with a nonalcoholic options, something like the seedlip grove 42 could work well here. (Seedlip is the only nonalcoholic brand I have tried before and why I am sharing it as an option)

Thank you if you read this far! I hope to update with pictures as soon as possible and I am testing out the next drink right now.

Picked up a Too Good to Go bag at the local fancy supermarket - they ALWAYS put more stuff in. (I think they may be calculating the value that they list based on the clearance prices?)

There was a bottle of Seedlip in the bag. For perspective, this was an $8 bag, the *top* clearance price tag was $10, and the bottom one (still clearance - the original price was obviously just on the shelf) was $24 - i.e. the value that they listed the bag at. (There was also a pastry, some good quality white chocolate chips, some frou frou snack packs, a bar of good chocolate, a tin of sardines and two pouches of Kool Aid).

The Eclipse Cocktail

Put the 50ml fresh orange juice, 25ml vodka, 25ml triple sec and 15ml fresh lemon juice in a shaker filled with ice; shake well. Strain into a glass with more ice, top up with soda water, then garnish with fruit.

The Moon Drop

Put a glass into the freezer to chill for at least 30 minutes before making this drink. In a shaker, place 1 cup seedless black grapes, thinly sliced and one of the 2 rosemary sprigs in 1 ounce simple syrup (equal parts of sugar and water dissolved). Muddle very well. Add the 1.5 ounces Spice 94 Seedlip, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 6 ice cubes. Shake vigorously (30 to 40 times). Strain and pour into the well chilled glass. Garnish with a fresh rosemary sprig.

Sundrop Negroni Slushie

Mix 1 ounces Gin, 2 ounces Campari, 3 ounces simple syrup, 2 ounces lemon juice and 4 ounces Cherry Lemon Sundrop together and store in a container to freeze for 24 hours. Break up the contents and serve with a spoon once desired consistency is achieved.

Please elaborate on the fannish cocktail list omg

Heh. This year's was:

Double Coffins 1 oz gin 1 oz campari 1 oz grapefruit juice dash of cranberry juice top up with club soda

50,000 Baht 1 oz whiskey 1 oz sweet vermouth top up with coke

Rebellion 1 oz midori 1 oz blue curacao piña colada mix

The Greatest Cocktail Never Made a shot of vodka

Vulcan Mating Habits equal parts lime juice, pineapple juice, ginger ale

People always ask for something fun and non-alcoholic that they can order, and we used to get assy event bars that couldn't really handle that. With the rise of non-alcoholic booze substitutes in the last couple of years, though, I'm thinking of concocting something with, e.g., Seedlip.

We'd originally joked about the "greatest cocktail" being an empty shot glass, but I was concerned we wouldn't have a real bartender who would grasp the joke and deliver it correctly... and then we did and it was too bad I didn't go for the full ridiculousness. But it's still funny because a shot of vodka is not a cocktail, so it's still fake.

The key for me is that cocktails should follow roughly normal cocktail guidelines in terms of ratios and number and type of ingredients. I'll rename one of the eight billion versions of a long rum and coke because that isn't really that standard, but I won't rename a regular rum and coke or a cuba libre. An actually clever fannish cocktail should be at least somewhat new and should have some kind of underlying meta reason why that drink has that name.

For my menus, I also want them each to be a different color and reference a different fandom.

[zeroproof]

This recipe was given to me by Chat GPT, I’ll let you know if it works tomorrow night:

Fill a highball glass with ice.

Add 1.5 ounces of Seedlip Garden to the glass.

Add 1 ounce of fresh lemon juice.

Add 1 ounce of simple syrup.

Stir to combine.

Top with 3 ounces of club soda.

Garnish with a sprig of rosemary or a lemon slice.

i've now tried two brands of non alcoholic spirits (seedlip and three spirit) and they're p good tbh. taste nothing like liquor but i hated the taste of liquor even when i did drink and needed it drowned in sugar to stomach it so i enjoy. my fave is garden from seedlip which is like herby idk i'm not good at describing flavors. and the latest one i got is three spirit nightcap which is like...chocolatey kinda.

mostly i mix them w ginger ale or seltzer or sometimes juice bc i do love getting difft fruit juice flavors lmao. tbh mostly i just drink a shitton of water and i don't often think about or crave other drinks but it's nice on occasion

(have also tried countess luann of RHONY's fosé and it was truly not bad but also not good enough to buy again lmao)

Creating imagery for the website

Since we have completed our logo, type and colour palette we wanted to have some additional imagery that would help bring the brand together. I had a look at some other brands with a similar vibe that I wanted to go for like the Heston Blumenthal range in Waitrose and the Seedlip packaging and made a Pinterest board to inspire me (pictured below)

While I like the things I found, I wanted to do something less literal, and ive also been very inspired by biomimicry- where engineering is inspired by natural forms. I think this would be a really good concept to include as we are combining some natural with urban environments- much like biomimicry. I found some interesting examples of this pictured below.

This office building in Wuhan China inspired by the Calla Lily

The council house in Melbourne Australia inspired by termite mounds

The 'gherkin' in London England inspired by a Venus Flower Basket Sponge

The stadium in Beijing, China inspired by birds nests.

All of these utilise the benefits of these natural structures and create them with a larger scale so humans can benefit.

Harvey also introduced me to an artist called Emma Harding who creates these beautiful abstracted collages ive taken inspiration from.

These are the first collages i made below, i tried to make them fit the autumn colours as much as i could

There are also all these fun "alcohol substitutes" that can be added in place of liquor to any cocktail to keep a certain depth of flavor/not add a bunch of sugar while also being alcohol free. I really like the Seedlip Spice and Garden (their Grove is a waste).
