Mixed Bizness: Members Only
Back in June, David Jones -- here's to you, David -- sent me the wonderful gift of a delicious bottle of Leopold's gin. Yesterday, I finished that bottle with my dear friend the drummer. (No, not in one sitting. He's my drummer, but those days are over. Correction: there never were days when I split a bottle of gin in a single sitting. I haven't lived, I know.)
Much of that Leopold's went into a string of Gin Blossoms, but yesterday it went into something else -- a Ginger Spice. What's that, you ask? Why, it's simple -- and the most refreshing compound pun I've tasted:
Ginger Spice
1 bottle Reed's Extra Ginger Brew Jamaican-Style Ginger Beer
2 shots Leopold's American Small Batch Gin
Dump shots over ice in a large pint glass. Add nice long pour of ginger beer. Swirl. Sip. Enjoy.
Also enjoy Leopold's own favorite recipes. Tell 'em I sent ya. And, of course, submit your own favorite libations. We'll put them into a handsome coffee table book like Andrew's View from Your Window...or something.

I feel as if I've done my good deed for the quarter. Which, it's nice to have that out of the way.
I also feel as if I have a good idea of what I need to be drinking this weekend. I thought it was going to be ginger beer with a decent rum, but this sounds awfully good, too.
I'm glad the bottle went to good use. Wonderful stuff. If it weren't so late on a work night, I might be tempted to start my weekend a few days early.
Cheers!
