Hi Simon. It's also Homer Simpson's birthday (and mine). Homer created a Flaming Homer cocktail in one episode but there seem to be several versions of it online. Do you have a favourite and what cough linctus would you recommend?
Hi Simon. The link at the end of the third para at the top - Mayfair martini, takes you to the Mayflower martini, the same as in the second para.
Go on - go 15:75. You can add 15mos of him to the vermouth and then do another 60.
The top marking on the Easy Jigger is 60ml on one side and 1oz on the other, but if you fill to the brim, it's 75ml. Hence, for 62.5ml I fill a little over the 60ml mark.
Are you sure it's not 2oz?
No. 7 looks very similar to no. 2 to me. Are you sure there aren't just 6 items of significance? Or have you lost one?
Yes. 15:5 is 3:1. 75:15 is 5:1 or 15:3 so where does 15:5 come in? Or does "dumped" mean it has been abandoned?
Nov 11 is Armistice Day in the UK. Remembrance Sunday is the second Sunday in November.
In 1920s Britain and still today households would have had a licence. Households in the US would have had a license.
14/3 is 4.666. It is presumably Pi day in the USA because they are daft enough to write the date 3.14. It does make you wonder why we don't call 22 July Pi day.
Hi Simon. You've lost an 'n' i'm afraid in your piece about the Dude. It should be Coen brothers.
Are you sure about this Simon? It's generally accepted that Isaac Newton was born on December 25 1642 (or 4 January 1643 if the Gregorian calendar had been adopted). Either way it's not 4 December.
This seems a bizarre way of measuring to me. There's no such thing as 3/4 of part. The point of ratios is to make it whole numbers so it's 2 rum to 1 honey syrup to 1 lime juice. And no-one is measuring 22.5 mls, 50 mls rum to 25 mls honey syrup to 25 mls lime is the same drink and only 10 mls more so quite acceptable. Love the daily cocktail suggestions btw.
