Comments Off on Kick Off 2016 With News From Southern Spirits!
It’s time again for the BOOZELETTER where the Captain Caveman of Liquor, Keith Haze.
Hey there booze fans, and welcome to 2016. It is going to be a great year here at Southern Spirits and I hope it will be a great year for everyone, except for my enemies, I hope they have a mediocre year, not one they can complain about and get sympathy for, but just one of those years that they will not be able to remember anything about, maybe they had lobster for their birthday, their might have been a trip to somewhere. I have decided to make a new years resolution for all of you. Try new things! I do not just mean booze, but that is a great place to start. We only get one life to live and if you are not out there searching for the best and different things to experience than what are you doing? I understand the appeal of old familiar, but you know what is great about old familiar, is that it is just waiting there for you. I drink everything I can get my hands on but sometimes I get a bottle of Woodford Reserve just so I can go back to the simple and wonderful goodness, but I guarantee you that it is enriched by my other experiences. So tear up your new gym membership, do not worry about learning French this year, instead find that bottle that makes you shout expletives in a good way!
TASTINGS
FRIDAY WINE 4:00-6:00
PAZO SENORANS ALBARINO: Spain’s number one white! Find out why.
AVIGNONESI MONTEPULCIANO: Italy makes a lot more than Chianti and Pinot Grigio! This food friendly wine should be welcome at any dinner table.
PETALOS BIERZO: Guess what? Spain makes more than Rioja! This is another food friendly red blend.
CANNONAU RISERVA: This wine is believed to be the best for your heart. While doctors may debate that, it is certainly delicious.
SATURDAY 3:00-6:00 GRAN DUQUE DALBA BRANDY!
Oh yeah baby! You guys are going to loooooove this stuff. It makes Hennessy taste like road kill! I spent years chasing down this stuff after having fallen in love with it back in California. I know you guys will be blown away.
KEITH’S CABINET: What Keith is drinking now
Hangar 1 Lime: The best lime vodka in the world! Mix it with Tonic for instant happiness, but can also be mixed with almost anything.
DICTADOR 20: Wow! This stuff is awesome. So smooth and so rich! Man this hit the spot yesterday!
LAGUNITAS COPPER: I love the brewery and I love this beer.
THE FEATHERLY: Attention Sherry Cask Scotch lovers! This stuff is yummy.
NEW ARRIVALS:
GREAT KING ST COMBO: Two pints of some of the best blended scotch!
SAVANNAH 88: Another bargain bourbon. Very limited will be gone in a flash.
44 NORTH VODKA: Idaho’s finest vodka’s. Very well made Potato vodka. They also feature Huckleberry and Nectarine as their two flavors.
360 GRAPE: Most vodka’s have given up on grape because they cannot make one worth anything. 360 does it again with another well made flavor!
BRECKENRIDGE BITTERS: Why let Italy have all the fun the apertivos? America has proven to be great at taking traditional methods and putting our own twist on things. I am very excited to try this!
BITTERMENS TIKI BITTERS: Want to spice up your rum drinks? Three drops and you have done just that. What a wonderful time to be alive!
RECIPE OF THE WEEK:
KEY LIME PIE MARTINI
Licor 43 1.5 oz
Vodka 1 oz (can use plain or vanilla)
.5 lime juice or Keke Lime liqueur
1 oz of cream or baileys
Cream must be added last! The lime juice will curdle the cream. Put all ingredients into a shaker and shake vigorously, pour and then add cream to glass.
You may garnish with a lime or graham cracker bits.
