Well, it seems that Google's Blogger is having a tough time showing everyone's comments on each post. And this is not the only blog with this issue. In fact, from what I can tell, this is a known issue at Google, and has been for many months, in fact over a year.
I know that Blogger is free and all, but it's just sad that Google has not been able to resolve this known issue for so long. Especially since they certainly seem to be able to keep all the comments active in their help forums, so obviously they how to make this work somewhere. In the meantime, I wanted all my loyal readers to know that I am getting email notification of your comments, but sometimes no comments will show up on the actual blog posts. It's really hit or miss.
Sorry about that. I will do more research into this and try and resolve it as quickly as I can. If I can't get it resolved soon, we may all be making a trip over to WordPress to get this running correctly again!
Cheers!

Every day a different drink. Not just how to make them, but a detailed review of how they actually taste, photos of the drinks, and stories along the way. Starting from the beginning, The Bartender's Black Book will be our guide, taking us
(and our livers) on a journey from which we may never recover. Cheers!

#59: Amore-ade
1 1/2 oz Amaretto
1/2 oz Triple Sec
Combine in a tall glass filled with ice.
Fill with soda water and stir.
I saw the other day that the Star Wars movies are going to be coming out on newly remastered Blu-Ray discs, so I thought I would post this plea for help from the Empire:
****************
A thin watery drink that does nothing. This was weak, with almost no alcohol. Not just flavor wise, but by content, since liquers generally tend to have very low alcohol content, under 40 proof, anyway.
The Amaretto flavor was the strongest, but so what. It was odd to have carbonated Amaretto (from the soda water), but other than that, this had nothing to distinguish it in any way. Boring.

#58: Amigo (aka White Bull)
1 oz Tequila
3/4 oz Coffee Liquer
Combine in a serving glass with ice. Fill with milk or cream, shake.
I went out to dinner at a local Mexican restaurant the other night, and found something interesting on the menu. Seems they do something funky back in the kitchen to the tostadas:
******************
I had some premium Jose Cuervo Añejo tequila leftover from a bottle given as a gift several years ago. I had a feeling that this was going to be a drink I would really like, so I broke out the good stuff.
Using the premium tequila definitely made this a strong, smooth drink. Some cheap rotgut would have diminished the overall experience. The Coffee Liquer mixed well with the tequla, and made this a top tier drink. There was a strong, smoky quality that went well with the other ingredients, and made this milk based drink damn near perfect. It was not too light, not to sweet, and had just the right amount of alcohol. Tasty as all get out.
