This is the Pumpkin Supreme Latte, a new seasonal drink at @prequel_cafe . This is so good I don't want to stop having the flavor in my mouth.

Myself and @libation-legacy.bsky.social discuss how the #Vesper is one instance when art made a drink. First in Ian Fleming's James Bond novel Casino Royale it survived to grace craft #cocktail menus during the cocktail revival

Lime, basil, peach syrup and a cayenne kick. This drink is so good; all of the flavors are welcome even when 3 of the 5 I usually prefer to pass on. This is my favorite matcha ever and it can be found at @nettarechi

This episode of #MiaG #Reanimator we explore the #Cosmopolitan, the 1st story with living players. Who is the personality behind this drink? @libation-legacy.bsky.social says it's a convergence; #BlackLiverProject says the stakes are high so competition is fierce

On March 24, 1949, Ray Hewitt's LA Daily News column, "The Spotlighter" first mentions the Dresden Room serving the Blood and Sand. He claims that the restaurant's owner, Herman Byrens, brought the recipe back from Singapore.

Ferraro kept the Blood & Sand on the menu as the Dresden's signature drink, in fact, it is still on their menu. He hired Ray Buhen, one of Don the Beachcomber's original team, to head his bar. There are claims that Buhen invented a "Blood & Sand" for Tyrone Power, who starred in the 1941 remake.

Carl Ferraro bought the Dresden in 1954, and changed its name to the Dresden Restaurant. Some interesting details in his obit. Los Angeles Times, February 7, 2005.

Also note that "Anchorman" (2004) also had a scene filmed at the Dresden.
The cafe creations at @nettarechi are coming quicker than I can sample them. A bunch of new specials on the menu including this one: Horchata Dirty Chai, a horchata with espresso and tres leches foam. Now I understand that all this time horchata was missing espresso.

Our latest #Reanimator episode. #BloodAndSand more well traveled than I ever imagined
We found the Blood and Sand Cocktail took a journey around the world, travelling from London to Singapore, then finding fame in Hollywood. Along the way, it transformed from a meh concoction to a delicious Tiki sip. Its secret turned up quite by accident in a thrifter's Reddit post.

#cheers 🍸
In this #MonsterInAGlass #Reanimator @libation-legacy.bsky.social traces the path of the #BloodAndSand from Hollywood boutique #cocktail in London to a tiki classic out of Singapore...and you can find the strangest things on Reddit these days.

My faith in humanity is shaken knowing that the sweepstakes were fake...

The earliest reference to the Rusty Nail cocktail that I could find actually referred to it as the Knucklehead. From Charles F. Danver's long-running column "Pittsburghesque" in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, dated January 25, 1960.

Another episode where we turn up some "secret history" (as Jim Murray called it in 1993). I'll have more on this soon, there are a bunch of fun details.
