A toast.
Two blogs that I had followed for a long time, the last active remnants of the good old days, both nuked this week.
A shame.
Tonight’s libation is a Brandy Crusta
2 oz ABK6 VSOP Cognac
1/4 oz 1804 Grand Imperial orange liqueur
1 teaspoon Lazzaroni Maraschino liquor
1 dash Angostura bitters
1/2 oz simple syrup
1/2 oz lemon juice
Shaken with ice , strained into a sugar rimmed glass and garnished with a lemon twist.
Shared with a Pulitzer Prize winning novel and a good cigar
