WINTER BASIL SMASH

handful fresh basil
1 oz lemon juice
¾ oz simple syrup
2 oz aquavit

Garnish: basil leaf
Method: Set aside one basil leaf as garnish. In a shaker, muddle remaining basil leaves with lemon juice and simple syrup. Add aquavit and ice cubes, shake, and double strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice cubes.

An interesting riff on the Gin Basil Smash, it's refreshing yet has a touch of warming notes from the aquavit. Don't be scared off by the two full shots. This one is balanced nicely by the generous amounts of lemon and simple. I had Thai basil on hand when I took the photo and I thought it worked well in the cocktail, even though the spec calls for the Italian variety. I first saw this one on IG from theeducatedbarfly.

SAZERAC

rinse glass with absinthe
3 dashes Peychauds bitters
¼ oz demerara syrup
2 oz Sazerac rye

Garnish: lemon peel
Method: Use an atomizer to rinse your serving glass with absinthe. Combine the remaining ingredients in a stirring glass with ice and stir. Strain into the glass, express lemon peel, and use as garnish.

Another boozy stir for a cold winter night. This version of the legendary cocktail comes from the book Cure: New Orleans drinks and how to mix 'em, page 29. I finally found an affordable bottle of Sazerac in Germany and thought the titular cocktail was the logical test pilot. For the photo I also tested a new lighting setup. Not 100% happy with it, but you gotta start somewhere.

"Smoke on the Water" is a song by English rock band #DeepPurple, released on their 1972 studio album #MachineHead. The song's lyrics are based on true events, chronicling the 1971 fire at #MontreuxCasino in Montreux, Switzerland. It is considered the band's signature song and its guitar #riff is considered to be one of the most iconic in rock history. In 2004, #RollingStone magazine placed #SmokeOnTheWater number 434 on its list of the "#500GreatestSongsOfAllTime".

¾ oz maraschino liqueur
¾ oz Green Chartreuse

Anyone know if RIFF chunks with id "\0\0\0\0" (4 zero bytes) with zero size is valid and a thing? I've seen WAV files multiples times with these in between other chunks or last in a file. Can't find anything in specs about it, most players and decoders seem to ignore them.

"Losing My Religion" is a song by #American #alternativeRock band #REM, released in February 1991 as the first single and the second track from the group's seventh album, #OutOfTime (1991). Built on a #mandolin #riff, the song was an unlikely hit for the group, garnering extensive airplay on radio as well as on #MTV and #VH1 due to its critically acclaimed #musicVideo. The single became R.E.M.'s highest-charting hit in the United States.
