With all the fresh produce we bought this morning, we had a lot of things in mind to do with it. The first thing was to try out a recipe I saw yesterday on the Jameson’s facebook feed. I changed it up a little, tho. On my birthday Jamison’s stock gets a bump, and my bar is flush with what is an obvious gift for me from anyone who knows me. I have shifted to other Irish whiskeys after investigating the sectarian affiliations of the Jamison’s distillery, and reading about the horrible Jameson Cannibal affair. I don’t keep apple schnapps around. I’m more partial to cider, and Monica’s friend Evy C., an interesting and steadfast woman, gave her a juicer. It’s a real piece of machinery, and I use it quite a bit. Fresh orange juice? No problem. Carrot juice? Got it. Green Bean nectar, well you have to drink it quickly but we’re on top of that too. And, or course, cider. The remix consists of:
2 large granny smith apples
6 small red delicious apples
2 peeled lemons with a scrap of peel
1 peeled lime with a scrap of peel
2 shots Powers Irish Whiskey
1 shot Southern Comfort
lemon slices
Mix juice with booze, pour over ice, garnish with lemon slice, chill the fuck out.
