It was an interesting evening…a fundraiser for the USO at the best local distillery (well, the best legal local distillery anyway). The dress instructions were vague and a bit confusing. Something about casual something or other with red and black. LOL.
Our dear friends Donnie and Geri came and we scored the head table with our excellent hosts and good friends Scott and Becky. Scott and Becky are the powerful couple behind Catoctin Creek.
Scott pinged me and we did the kilt thing!
I love wearing my kilt, and I especially love it when my buddies wear theirs too. More kilts is what we need to solve global warming.
The kilts and the stills
Romey was resplendent in her red shoes.
The food was good. The company was interesting. And the 1908 Rye? Well, you only get to try that once or twice in one 2021 life.
We ran the proof in the back.
Great night for a Great Cause. Thank you Fred and all who participated! The 1908 Mellon Overholt measured at 94.7 proof. pic.twitter.com/kOt27d040Y
Somehow an actual pineapple grew here in Virginia. It came due today.
Ripe Pineapple
Around here, when you get ripe you may well end up in a cocktail.
Put the lime in the pineapple
Pineapple + jalapeño mergerita
2 oz liquified mix of 1/2 jalapeño and a tiny cored pineapple
2 oz fresh lime juice
4 oz blue agave tequila
2 t blue agave syrup
Stir down. Strain into cocktail glass.
