THERE'S A MONDAY MORNING TRADITION HERE AT THE SHOP. ONCE THE DOG'S BEEN WALKED AND EVERYBODY HAS GONE ABOUT THEIR BUSINESS, I LIKE TO SNEAK DOWN TO THE TAVERN AND SETTLE INTO A STRONG DRINK. SOMETIMES IT'S A "NEGRONI," SOMETIMES IT'S HEMINGWAY'S "DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON."
RECENTLY, I CALLED FOR A "COIN TOSS." CREATED BY PHIL WARD of DEATH & CO., THE ORIGINAL CALLS FOR A 2oz. BASE OF SCARLET IBIS RUM. HOWEVER, THE BRILLIANCE OF THIS DRINK IS THAT THE RUM CAN BE SWAPPED OUT FOR ANY SPIRIT. HENCE, "THE COIN TOSS." FLIP A COIN. HEADS, MALORT. TAILS, RITTENHOUSE RYE. DOESN'T MATTER. RESULTS ARE ALWAYS THE SAME... AWESOME.
POUR IT UP:
