So this has nothing much to do with the band but I figure it’s not really a stretch for this here blogg, where Joe has been sake-bloggin like there is no tomorrow. And to good effect, for sure.
Up there is my first attempt at an old fashioned. I’m pretty sure that my choice of scotch was my first mistake- something I realized after I added more soda and bitters to soften things up. The Glenrothes 1985 single speyside malt scotch whisky just doesn’t play well with others. It juggernauts anything standing in it’s way and kicks you on the way down to send the message home that you should never mix it with anything ever again as long as you live. I really should have known better, but when I’m alone in the kitchen, I really can’t help myself. I start touching things and before I know it, I have orange juice in my cereal and the aforementioned scotch in my coffee.
Next time I’ll use the Basil Hayden’s and it will be pure gold.

Yes!
What kind of bitters are you using?
I happened into Spuyten Duyvil Grocery in Williamsburg and saw that they had a mighty selection of bitters for sale. If you ever run out… http://www.yelp.com/biz/spuyten-duyvil-grocery-brooklyn
