Happy New Year 31Dec20

Well, as with many others, we aren't sorry to see 2020 go. Kala & I hanged at the house and played a ton of backgammon - we did make it awake to 2021 and I even ate into Kala's substantial lead in gammon. I prepared a couple of appropriate cocktails for us for the occasion. Kala likes tequila so I themed our first, the Dumpster Fire, around that. Shake all ingredients but the bubbly over ice and pour strained into glasses. Fold in bubbly. Enjoy.

[2020 Is A…] Dumpster Fire

  • 0.75 oz Heradura anejo tequila
  • 0.75 oz St-Germain elderflower liqueur
  • 0.75 oz fresh grapefruit juice
  • dash orange bitters
  • tsp agave syrup
  • ~1.5 oz bubbly (Veuve du Vernay)

Our second tasting, FU Wuhan, is more themed around Asia with ginger, lemongrass & lime tones. It is similarly prepared but take care adding the bubbly with this one - the egg whites will froth the whole thing. I think this silky one was better but Kala actually preferred the Dumpster Fire. Neither is too sweet, as neither are we.

FU Wuhan

  • 1.25 oz Woods dry gin
  • 0.75 oz Domaine de Canton (ginger liqueur)
  • 0.75 oz lime juice
  • tbsp lemongrass infused simple syrup
  • 1/2 egg white
  • ~1.5 oz bubbly (Veuve du Vernay)


 Here's to 2021 and riddance of 2020.
