I remember when they were a buck. Line for a table wraps around around the bar, out the lobby, and sometimes down the block, so it’s always a big party. Only 5 items on the menu: 1/4 light, 1/4 dark, 1/2 light, 1/2 dark and crunchies (fried batter scraps).Frickin inflation
Thanks! Got it from the trip to Osaka. Turn it over it's a mt FujiI like the glass!
I'm getting pretty fond of this Sotol stuff. Especially with these bitters, from my favorite bitters company.
Nice! Doesn't get talked about as much as some lambic producers but it's excellent.
(clenches teeth)Breakin' the rules, mixing good single malt scotch with ginger beer. The ginger beer was a gusher, got all over my kitchen, serves me right. But it was worth it!View attachment 323058
Scotch and Splenda! Tastes like Splenda, gets you drunk like Scotch!(clenches teeth)
...that's...just fine. What's important is that you enjoyed it.

Seriously, I'd probably try that myself, and then never tell another living soul.
Thanks for the heads up re: sotol. Spending the long weekend with some friends who are tequila drinkers. Should make a great gift, and I’m looking forward to trying it.Sotol stole my heart some time ago. Sort of like mezcal I find that good sotol is really really good and bad sotol tastes like kerosene.
We have a Sotol distillery in Texas just west of Austin named Desert Door. It's a fun place to visit in a beautiful part of the state, and their sotol is pretty nice too. They work with local ranchers to harvest local wild grown sotol and it the result is an earthy/spicy sotol. They play around with barrel finishes as well and I found that I really enjoyed their rum barrel finished sotol.
