Figures. I'm out of the key ingredients to my two favorite cocktails of the moment, both of which I've created myself (to the best of my knowledge). And now that I've discovered that the best way to chill a cocktail glass is with liquid nitrogen, I now have something else for the ol' liquor cabinet wish list.
I can only imagine what liquid nitrogen would do for my choice martini recipe. Really, it would add to perfect garnish of sci-fi to what can only be called ( the Johnny Go Martini... )
This creates the most lovely, clean-tasting, downright delicious Martinis I've ever had. What's really amazing is to drink any other kind of gin before trying Hendrick's, just to taste the difference. Bombay Sapphire used to be my gin of choice, but it tastes like window-cleaner compared to Hendrick's. Furthermore, it's the only drink I've ever known to actually not hinder me in writing (look at me, I'm Dorothy Parker!).
I know whiskey is the drink of choice, but more often than not, it's a monkeywrench in the creative works. Weirdly, beer is worst of all for this. I can't even have a single can of Natty Boh and hope to get any work done. Most drinks are reserved for kicking back and watching films or being social or trying to unwind after a rewarding/frustrating day of writing.
For that, I turn to my current very favorite drink, ( my personal take on the Old Fashioned... )
This is the finest drink I know how to make, and one of the few that appeals to pretty much every palate, from those who prefer girly drinks to guys like me and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fiveseconddelay who prefer drier stuff. It's marvelously complex, filled with wonderful nuances, and is just plain delicious to enjoy.
And of course, I finally put together this dedication to my two current favorite drinks just as I've run out of both whiskey and Hendrick's right before being stuck in the middle of a fucking snowstorm. There is not enough "LE SIGH" in the world.
