Another spicy one from friend Erik in South Texas – …here’s another spicy one to help you guys shake off the late winter frostbite up there in the cold North. The tangerine adds a citrus flavor here most of us aren’t used to – we think it’s quite good and have even taken to upping […]
Thirsty Thursday
After seeing last week’s Dark and Stormy Hot Chocolate from GK, SLC compadre Steve S. fired this version in, insisting it was even better than the D&S version. As a native Alaskan his vision of the tropics might be one seen through rose-colored glasses, though we think he’s on to something here. Testing in three, […]
Another most interesting adult beverage suggestion popped up in the inbox this past week from GK in Driggs (one of our favorite ‘back side of the Tetons’ locales) – I was reading through your Thirsty Thursday posts the other day and noticed you guys have talked several times about how much you enjoy a Dark […]
Some weeks we could all use a little assist from a superhero. Even more so, it seems, during the long cold month of January. When She Who Must Be Obeyed and I saw these on the featured menu at a favorite establishment recently, it was one of those weeks and to make a long story […]
Speaking of Thirsty Thursday, according to a recent post from Smart Asset, Billings and Missoula made their Top 10 Cities for Beer Drinkers list. We’ve always known Montana boasts some of the finest microbreweries around and that Montanans take their beer business damned seriously. It’s about time these hard working public servants caught the eye […]
After the mad rush of the holiday season, early January’s winter days, at least in the Northern Rockies , stand in stark contrast to the busy six or seven weeks that flew by before, offering a welcome, if not damned cold respite. Around our camp this is when fly tying season moves into the damned […]
A couple of weeks ago long time friend Eric from deep South Texas sent up a recipe for a Rio Star Grapefruit Rum Spritzer that we enjoyed with Jess while she was down from Bozeman thawing out last week. We all savored the powerful punch of the grapefruit (it’s such a great mix with a […]
As we’ve seen many times when we’re cajoled into cooking or mixing some libation together for friend and sometimes mentor Ed, the source of his treasured recipes is at times a bit obscure. He insists when you get to be his age (north of 80) you simply don’t have to remember the ‘stuff you don’t […]
Hot from the ‘dammit, I told you so file’ comes today’s adult beverage recipe, courtesy of long time friend EH of Harlingen and South Padre Island. We met EH when selling a property down in far South Texas now over a decade ago; he’s since become an active fly fisher and likes to tease us […]
Another holiday libation this week courtesy of Amy in Boise – My husband and I just had this punch over the weekend at a party one of his fishing buds hosted (and to watch a football game). I don’t know how many recipes of this Holiday Rum Cider Punch his wife and I ended up […]
Another one from former work colleague and friend Steve S. in Salt Lake City. …I’m surprised you guys haven’t already run this one in your holiday rotation. The classic Tom and Jerry is one of those holiday season cocktails that was a mainstay at my parents annual Christmas party and is still going strong years […]
Another nifty submission for all we | you ‘mulies’ out there from old friend Steve S. in Salt Lake City. I know you guys are big Moscow Mule fans; here’s one of my favorites for the fall and holiday season my wife brought down from a day at Alta last December ‘with the girls’. It’s […]
Another enticing beverage submission this week from Dave K. in Denver – I had to laugh reading the Ciderhouse Port Sangria recipe last week, my wife’s family is the clan from hell (she said it long before I did) and we somehow have fallen into the routine of hosting the family Thanksgiving dinner the past […]
For those among us who might be tasked with serving Thanksgiving dinner for a crowd, and in particular for those needing some sort of libation to mellow the family down a notch or two, Chef Libby in Austin sent this Ciderhouse Port Sangria recipe along a couple of days ago to share. While she readily […]
Time for another top-shelf serving of cocktail history from an expert in the field, this time from a new friend on staff at the Naval Academy – …long time reader of Chi Wulff and former resident of Montana several decades ago while in my teens; it was there I fell in love with fly fishing […]
