• Aperol

    Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

    The Dean Martini
    2:1:1 is a classic ratio
    That's how I plan to make my first one should I ever have
    Aperol on hand.

    The stuff as I recall isn't worth seeking
    out on its own, though relaxing in a sidewalk
    cafe after dealing with Lilli I found an
    Aperol spritz refreshingly welcome.

    I have not tasted Aperol but some recent reading informs me it is
    basically sweeter, half strength Campari. In that case I 'll give it
    a pass and stick to Campari which I have grown fond of, mostly in
    Negronis. I make mine 2:1:1 rather than 1:1:1 because, as you
    pointed, out gin is healthy.


    ... The bitters are excellent for your liver, the gin is bad for you.
    ... They balance each other. - Orson Welles on the Negroni

    How do you handle taglines? Is one automatically
    appended to your posts, and if so, how did you
    get two in?

    Bluewave allows me to pick one tagline from a list of stored
    ones. I add the second one of a two-liner by reopening the post
    after it's finished, opening my tagfile and doing a manual copy and
    paste to insert it, then close.
