Negroni, The Italian Influenced Refreshing Aperitif

Negroni is a cocktail, made of equal parts gin, usually sweet vermouth, and Campari. Campari being the key ingredient with its distinct, almost medicinal flavour, that is mellowed, but strengthened with the addition of the other two ingredients. Not a weakened flavour by any means. Think of it as 1/3, plus 1/3, plus 1/3, to make that whole, and you’ll never go wrong. My first memories of Campari was of my Danish cousin drinking it mixed with soda water in Copenhagen to settle her stomach and aid in her digestion. Yes, Campari is considered a stomach bitter, a...

Sam’s Straws Biodegrable Wheat Straws

Sam’s Straws, is an all-Natural and Disposable, Eco-friendly Drinking Accessory, Premium Beverage Straws Set for Parties, BBQ’s and Bar Use. In my journeys around the world, both in person and online, I’m always doing so with the intention of looking for new things to review and bring to the masses.

The Liberty Distillery

Parking however is a challenge in this rather busy spot, so I would suggest leaving the car at...

World Cup Soccer……

Spain Wins the World Cup!!!!!!!!! The World Cup is over and Spain sits on top of the world, literally. They have even surpassed Brazil as the number one team on the planet, doing so before the final game even started. Congratulations go out to the soccer team from Spain, they definitely were the better team in defeating the Netherlands, 1-0 in extra time.  I must say, being one of the pre-tournament favorites and the reigning European Champions, it was surprising to see how slowly they started this World Cup Tournament. While Germany and the Netherlands came out flying, ranking 1 and...
