I enjoy a well crafted cocktail. Upon moving to Memphis, I was having trouble finding a good drink that wasn’t overly sweet. So, when I got this book as a gift, I thought what better way to expand my already overflowing bar and try something new.

A Year of Drinking Adventurously. 52 way to get out of your comfort zone
By Jeff Cioletti
I spent a fruitful and expensive year working my way around the world. I discovered very quickly into this endeavor I could broke very easily if I were to buy full size bottles of everything I wanted to try. I will admit, it was difficult to not stock the bar with everything I tried. This did expand my pallet and helped me learn so much.
If you decide to work your way through, please ping back so I can follow your journey.
Cheers! Slainte! Prost!

I think you should have a look at this blog: https://drunkpynchon.com My husband is a fan of Thomas Pynchon’s book (and of good drinks) and he came across it. Never read any Pynchon myself (he says I’d hate it) but I’ve got nothing against cocktails! Anyhow, I thought I’d share it with you! 🙂

Sounds like a fun idea! Might try and give it a go. As I live in New Zealand I might post on our Wednesdays which will still be your Tuesdays (we are like 21 hours ahead of Seattle).
