Jeremy's journal

I was born with a mind that suffers from the incurable disease of worrying precisely about what could or might have been.

🦋 A Softer Cocktail

Thanks to young urban bicycle enthusiast Dorothy Gambrell, today I found out about Saveur's Recipe Comix -- right now I am drinking (courtesy of A Softer World's Emily Horne) a Black Mischief -- this is Horne's take on a Kingsley Amis cocktail recipe, and boy oh boy is it smooth.

In general I am all in favor of mixing comix with other forms. Gambrell's recipe for Chocolate Ice-Cream is a good one, and the peripheral cartoony stuff adds to it, gives it resonance. I will remember this cocktail recipe because of how good it tastes, and also because of the A Softer World tie-in.

Anything that combines Kingsley Amis and Emily Horne has my vote.

I prefer my "Dark & Stormy" with bourbon, when I believe it's called a Kentucky Mule.

Neat -- thanks, I was vaguely aware of the existence of a drink called Dark & Stormy but did not know what it was.

Oh -- rum and ginger beer -- I have had that. Vaguely similar I guess to Amis' drink; but the stout makes a pretty big difference.

The Amis recipe is in his Everyday Drinking, much of which is readable at Google Books.
