Here’s an interesting one from an old friend in Denver, Brian K, who wrote this week – You guys should try this Cranberry Pine Muddle, an old favorite of ours my wife’s family was making decades ago up in Minnesota. She drags it out after Thanksgiving every year and we end up making batches for […]
Thirsty Thursday
Our buddy Ricky still finds himself (in his words) trapped in downtown Seattle; he’s a die hard Missouri River dry fly guy who happens to hold a teaching appointment at the UW Medical School. His wife has some fancy smancy job downtown, so they live right there in the heart of the city. She seems […]
From old friend RT in Albuquerque this past week – …we’ve enjoyed your parade of ‘dealing with the family’ cocktails leading up to Thanksgiving. Every family seemingly has their burden to bear in terms of some wild-assed crazy one(s) who shows up to inflict their special brand of torment on the assembled clan. We of […]
Realizing that just about everybody has their Thanksgiving day beverage game plan in play by now, here’s a great looking Holiday Cranberry Sangria from Cindy in Albuquerque… …I realize it’s probably too late to share this for Thanksgiving, but it’s a great one for any holiday gathering to come in the next few weeks. It’s […]
From new friend of Chi Wulff Anne in Driggs… …love the food and drink recipes you guys have posted over the years. It would be a break from your routine I know, but now and then you should post something like this Cranberry Apple Cider Punch that’s family friendly and perfect for entertaining those pesky […]
Ah, the holiday season is soon to be upon us. We truly love the holiday season around our camp, even as things tend to get crazy as we, just like you, fight everyday to balance work, family, and prime time outdoor seasonal activities as well as plan for gatherings with friends and family. Those entertaining […]
Exposing my naiveté, often with humiliating consequences, seems to happen on a near daily basis these days. The silver lining is that such exposures often lead to a teaching moment. Dining out with She Who Must Be Obeyed the other evening, a couple of these Classic Whiskey Smashes rolled by our table looking inviting, intriguing […]
Several months ago I had the pleasure of spending a few minutes on the phone with Upslope Brewing’s Henry Wood to talk about their 1% for Rivers program coordinated with sales of their Craft Lager. Henry was kind enough to carve time out of his busy day to let me poke and prod with questions […]
At Upslope Brewing Co., it’s all about the après. Their canning-only philosophy makes bringing a delicious brew along up a 14er or on a backcountry adventure a no-brainer because it is so easy to pack it in, pack it out. Because snowmelt is always their first ingredient, Upslope responsibly supports the protection of local water […]
From chef Libby in Austin this week… …after you guys posted The Godfather last week you should probably take a look at The Glasgow Mule. Recognizing that most blended bourbons and whiskeys (or whisky) are pretty much comprised of bottom of the barrel stuff that can’t reasonably be marketed as a standalone libation, there are […]
The closer we get to the election, the more I agree with friends who insist that an adult beverage now and again, along with turning off your damned news portals, makes the fall days pass more peacefully. Chi Wulff compadre Les in Denver suggests a visit with The Godfather may even be helpful… …I don’t […]
From friend of Chi Wulff Bill P. in Naples, Florida comes today’s recipe for a Hurricane Cocktail Punch. Bill writes – In honor of Matthew set to soon pummel Florida’s east coast, here’s an easy cocktail for your list – a Hurricane Cocktail Punch. I know it’s not exactly what you’d get in NOLA, but […]
This week there’s really nothing else we could post today other than the iconic Arnold Palmer in tribute to Palmer’s passing last Sunday. It might be trite to write they simply don’t seem to make many men like Arnold Palmer these days, but they don’t. Anyone who’s ever even taken a sniff around the world […]
A fishing friend (part-time guide and writer among other things, for the record) from Virginia and I were chatting via email this past week and he chastised me, in the kind manner of a true Southern gentleman, for not featuring enough cocktails featuring bourbon here on Chi Wulff. He noted in one exchange at that […]
She Who Must Be Obeyed and I have the good fortune to be back home in Montana for a bit; we made the run up earlier this week and stopped over in Laramie on the way up (great little college town by the way). We needed to get out and stretch for dinner so we […]
