Awesome photo of Andrew’s hand blown Glass Tiki Mugs.

Now “every part of the drink is handcrafted,” Iannazzi says, “from the tiki mug down to the juice.”

Sweet.

BTW BA, we love the Scrappy’s Celery in gin, too! (A few dashes are also great in soda water)

Today’s drinks feature the lushly herbal Chartreuse in all its emerald glory

We agree with Dietsch. There’s a lot more to drink on St. Pat’s day than green beer. We enjoy the herbal deliciousness that is Chartreuse, but if you’re looking to go a bit more traditional, check out this great sister article about drinks with Irish Whiskey.

One of our favorite beverages around the Serious Eats office is bitters and soda. We’ve got a good dozen types of bitters in the Serious Eats liquor shelves—cranberry! Peychaud’s! black walnut!—and just a few dashes can turn plain ol’ soda water into something much more exciting.

Love this idea and look forward to trying through the combinations (and coming up with more!)

Hope you get a chance to relax at home, stay warm and sip on a cocktail. (I’m going to enjoy a bottled, carbonated Negroni I’ve been working on.)

Be safe out there!

Cheers,

Adam

The Nick & Nora glass looks lovely! They’re one of our favorite glasses too. Anything that’s served “up” or in a “martini glass” is extra elegant in a Nick & Nora.

We’re psyched to see that the Barker & Mills Cherries were so well received! (And sorry to run out of them so quickly.)

Ryan pits each cherry by hand, and hand-numbers each jar, so there’s only so many available each year. We’ve already started a waiting list for the ones we’re expecting near the end of 2013, so if you’re interested please contact us and we’ll put some aside for you.
