Grenadine, Applejack, and Lime. I could only make one as I ran out of Applejack. Next time I might use a bit more Grenadine.

A popular cocktail in the 1920s and 1930s, per Wikipedia

Buffalo Trace Bourbon – cocktail with muddled mint, orange bitters, Bonal Gentiane Quina was uploaded to Flickr

Not sure exactly to call this, close to a Manhattan, but not quite. Mainly due to the muddled mint, and because I used more bourbon than a Manhattan would call for.

Asparagus for New Year’s Eve was uploaded to Flickr

Happy New Year, everyone.

And the reference, in case you’ve never heard this before:
www.rodale.com/how-prevent-hangover

• Eat asparagus. While researchers used asparagus extract in the study, its hangover-fighters are present in the whole veggie, and remain stable even after being cooked at higher temperatures, such as steaming and boiling. So if you’re planning on drinking, include asparagus in your lunch and/or dinner to help prevent a hangover, or eat it the day after if you’re looking for good hangover food.

Even if it doesn’t work, at least you’ve eaten some delicious asparagus. Win-win!

I made the Ted Haigh version, from Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails

2 parts dry gin, one part lemon juice, and two dashes of maraschino liqueur. I actually used a Meyer Lemon, but I only had one, so it is not pictured.
