A bit late this morning, but here nonetheless is the The Inside Job cocktail, shared courtesy of Ian in Reno, a full-time fly fishing guide and part-time bartender via his email. Ian noted this is a nifty way to enjoy one’s bourbon, and while some find this one a bit sweet (he prefers it with […]
Thirsty Thursday
Years ago while I was grinding through my residency in SLC, my lovely wife was teaching school (Wasatch Junior High) and as I was buried at the hospital much of the time, she took a part time job at REI (discounts matter and good toys ain’t cheap). We ended up meeting a flock of damned […]
Just in time for your long weekend, here’s a nifty sounding Key Lime Margarita from new friend of Chi Wulff Leticia in Naples. She says this is the way they’ve been enjoying margaritas for years in her neck of the woods, and while she and her guide husband (TJ) prefer them without sugar, many of […]
Another one from compadre EH down in South Texas feature once again his favorite Rio Grande citrus – the Ruby Red grapefruit (though of course any grapefruit will do in a pinch). EH says this Siesta cocktail is one of his wife’s very favorite summer concoctions, and is a snap to shake up quickly. That […]
This past week Garden and Gun published a nice, quick read on another Southern classic cocktail – the Brandy Alexander. The back story is actually pretty interesting (if you’re at all interested in the cocktail world) and worth the five minutes of your time to read through this one… Image via Garden and Gun.
Yep, it’s indeed Tuesday, and we’re moving things around this week as today is National Tequila Day, worthy of mention during these dog days as we’re all muddling through the back half of summer (most of our compadres are pining away for cool fall days, replete with fall hatches, less pressure on favored waters, and […]
The Polson (MT) Main Street Flathead Cherry Festival was last weekend, and that means the early crop of Flathead cherries are in. Hot damn. A friend of ours spends about half the year in Bigfork, on the eastern shore of Flathead Lake, and just north of one of the most fascinating cherry growing areas in the […]
From South Texas Chi Wulff compadre EH comes yet another tasty-looking, grapefruit-based adult beverage – the Vida Paloma. EH has by report come into a stash of several mezcals brought up to him by a business contact in Mexico; he insists this gives the standard Paloma a real run for its money, with the smokey […]
I was at an event this past weekend in Dallas and a guy walked up and asked if I’d ever met “Angry Rita”. Turns out Angry Rita is a cocktail loosely from the margarita family based on Angry Orchard’s crisp apple hard cider; the guy was sort of annoying, so I never ended up getting […]
Even though these long, glorious days of high summer are probably not the absolute best fly fishing days of the entire year (at least on the hallowed freestones of the Northern Rockies), like many of our friends I can’t wait to spend a few 15+ hour floats on some of my favorite Montana waters (I’m […]
Friend of Chi Wulff Edward K wondered (via email) why we’d never posted this Mint Julep Slush recipe featured in Garden and Gun last summer; he insists that it makes those long, hot, mid-August floats on the Missouri below Craig much more tolerable. Apparently after being frozen overnight, it’ll stay slushy in a cold cooler […]
