My Apartment Is Killing Me + The Scofflaw

My apartment may be killing me.

( Cake or Death? )

A Drink, because we need it:

The Scofflaw

1 oz rye whiskey
1 oz dry vermouth
1/4 oz lemon juice
dash grenadine (use the real stuff, made from pomegranate. the fake makes a bad cocktail)
dash orange bitters

Stir over ice. Strain into a cocktail glass, garnish with a twist. Quaff, and reflect on the frailties of the human body. Have a sympathy asthma attack, then burn some money.

A New Cocktail!!!

Yeah. We drink a lot. A lot. Maybe not Hemingway or Bukowski levels, but enough to stay reputable among the Right People.

Well, Doug (Mr. X to those who would know 'bout that) has devised a new cocktail. Drink it when you are feeling a bit indie rawk.

The Van Pelt
2 oz gin
1 oz sweet vermouth
1/2 oz Aperol

Stir over ice. Strain into cocktail glass. Get all indie rawk on your friends and put on the Van Pelt or Small Factory**.

**Damn, I love this band.
