It's Day 3 of the wedding so it's time for them to actually get married. Here we are in our wedding finery.

I had a great time! I knew this wasn't going to be a drink focused trip.

That's what I did. It was that or the Glenfiddich, and I hadn't tried Teachers before.

What would you order? And remember, ice is a mistake.

Indian wedding bar pretty dire.

I do recall you saying that the reason you originally started drinking martinis was that it was the most alcohol for your money, and this one certainly offers that!

A friend of mine just shared an old restaurant menu with me today, and there was a Knucklehead! From a restaurant in Detroit that operated 1953-1979, but no date on the menu.

I would have too. There's only so far I'm willing to go in search of authenticity.

I'm not understanding why you say it's fully safe.

Did the pre-clearance actually open at Billy Bishop?

Another fun reveal ep, with a bottle I’ve been waiting for (and that gamers will appreciate). Two bottles tried to fake me out as I thought they were one thing but turned out to be another. All-in-all an action packed set of picks and some fun research ahead! Watch or read the transcript below! 🍸
Reveal #24 | my tiny bottles
Tammy finally finds a bottle she's been expecting in her Grandmother's mini bottle collection and its one gamers will know!

We have arrived! Two more little houses, and I ordered the genever-based Very High Fashioned cocktail with my meal. It was quite tasty, and I was especially impressed by how well it drank as it diluted. Now we are in a car to our hotel and Dehli traffic is living up to its reputation even at 3 am.

@libation-legacy.bsky.social dug up some research that says they never took quinine out of Lillet, they just lowered the sugar, and that the modern cocktailian lore about this is not true. Now, that said, I still prefer Cocchi in most contexts!

Have collected the first two little Dutch houses filled with Bols for this trip. Now boarding our AMS-Dehli flight where we'll collect the next two. Indian wedding here we come. And my first time zone that's off by 30 minutes!

Gave into temptation and made a tiny one. Seemed like it would go well with sticky toffee pudding...

Surprisingly good petnat in the KLM Lounge at Pearson. And an "interesting" liquor selection. I'm tempted to make a Rusty Nail...

Very much the case here! I've been struggling with this bottle for a while. Could have written something easy but bland, but it's definitely more fun to write the nerdy story instead.

Some tiny bottles take more research than others. I just finished writing up a bottle today that had me learning all about Russia in World War II, of all things!

Awesome drink, but not tonight. I promised all new drinks for this upcoming online class, and I've included that a couple times before.

This house isn't really set up for bartending, but I'm going to do my best! First cocktail party in the Toronto house we're renting. I've got an absurd # of drinks I want to test, we'll see how many we get through!
