Improve Your Gin and Tonic

A Simple, Easy (but not necessarily cheap) Trick to Improve the humble Gin and Tonic

gin-and-tonic-feature-1-manmade_large

For many years, I didn’t think I liked the humble gin and tonic. For quite a while, I thought it was the gin that I detested, but some smarter friends helped me with some really amazing gin-focused cocktails, and I very quickly moved away from the staple of vodka in favor of gin’s truly special aromatic qualities. At that point I figured I just didn’t care for standard tonic water.

The results of this investigation? One, I really like gin. Two, I like tonic. And three, I do like them together. So what was the issue with all those early drinks that sent me into disgust?

gin-and-tonic-tonic-2

It wasn’t the brand of gin, but actually…the type of tonic water. The syrup-sweetened (and commonly available) Schweppe’s  just doesn’t hit it for me. It’s far too sweet, almost like lemonade.

So, if you wish to instantly improve the gin and tonics, invest in superior tonic water. Or at the very least, try a few brands to determine which you prefer, rather than just go with what you can find at the store. Some tonics to look for: Q Tonic and Fever Tree. Or, if you’re feeling specially ambitious, you could make your own tonic syrup and mix it with plain soda. There are recipes online.

Make Your Own Tonic Water

The point being, a gin and tonic is a truly basic drink with two distinctive elements, So, don’t skimp on the tonic.

To finish the article….I do still find most tonics overly sweet, even the better brands. Try my trick of cutting the tonic with soda water. I like to do equal club soda and tonic and bulk up the aromatics with two dashes of orange or lemon bitters.

Favorite Summertime Gin and Tonic:

  • 2 oz. London dry gin
  • 2 oz. Fever Tree Mediterranean-style tonic water
  • 2 oz. club soda
  • 2 dashes Fee Brothers orange bitters
  • Garnish: lime wedge or cucumber slice

The ‘Dad Bod’ Trend Is Giving Normal Men Some Hope

$

A short time ago I had no absolutely idea what a  ‘dad bod’ was.  The ‘dad bod’ is a new infatuation with bodies that state, “I workout in the gym fromtime to time, but I also drink a lot and like to eat ten pieces of pizza at a time.”

It all began with Clemson University’s The Odyssey, via Mackenzie Pearson‘s piece “Why Girls Love The Dad Bod.” The basic premise is a “physique characterized by undefined muscles beneath a light layer of flab, usually topped off with a beer belly.” That effectively means anyone who played sport in school then started eating pizzas for lunch  – within reason – and has some chance with girls who like this kind of thing.

The reasons Pearson provided for her attraction to the dad bod were:

It doesn’t intimidate us.
This is always positive, and we’ll take what we can get .

We like being the pretty one.
I  haven’t been called pretty…ever. And we’re OK if that don’t change.

“Better cuddling.”

Well Yep…

You know what you’re getting.

Well ok – BUT – guy with dad bods will pack weight on down the line and maybe hit the morbidly obese benchmark. It’s all relative.
It’s interesting to see this online and  see a bunch of females (and a large percentage of the net) appreciating this reality of life.

Survival during uncertain times.

While I’m not a full fledged ‘prepper’ I do believe in being ready for catastrophic events. In 2005 Hurricane Katrina demonstrated that necessity ruthlessly to the population of New Orleans.

It was the most expensive natural disaster in US history, as well as accounting for almost 2,000 lives.

Hurricane clouds on Earth

It demonstrated that the Government (Federal , State and Local) are unable to help you in these situations and that you need to take care of yourself and your loved ones.

To that end I’m in the process of stocking up my cabin with supplies. I shopped around a little and in terms of taste, quality, convenience and price The Ready Store was my preferred source.

Natural Supplements that Actually Work

SupplementPillDuring the never ending search for health in a pill America generally comes up short. Usually I ignore this type of thing and simply try to eat a reasonably healthy diet. Mostly whole foods, minimize sugar and processed, not too much beer and so on.

So when a colleague was enthusiastically touting these mainstream medically endorsed supplements I was not that interested. But he explained that his diet was TERRIBLE and that was why he supplemented with some of them.

So for those of you with a good diet – don’t feel too much need to consider them. But if your diet sucks as well, you may want to think about it. Here are the deals…

Modern Dionysus: Making Your Own Pizza

pizzaPizza: if you don’t like it, I don’t like you. I recently found an article in Modern Dionysus about some tips for making your own pizza. See a snippet from the article below:

If there’s one thing I love in life, it’s pizza. I’ve delivered it, cooked it, eaten it, and critiqued it. In fact, I love pizza so much that I married an Italian so I could have a child that’s at least one-quarter pizza. What makes pizza so awesome is that it’s universally loved in so many forms—deep dish, New York style, cheese only, no cheese, stuffed crust, buttered crust, or no crust. Everyone has their own idea of the perfect pizza. That’s why making your own pizza is not only a great way to turn a routine dinner party with friends into a unique and fun experience, it’s also a great way to feel like a total boss in the kitchen.

Click here to read the entire article and start making your own pizzas like a pizza boss.
