Our bar has a case of Angostura, and we don't even use it in any of our drinks right now.
Is the shortage over yet? I haven't been keeping up.
I should ask my neighbor for bitters recs. Last time I was over there we counted and he has 14 different kinds.
I always heard it as Diamond ring don't shine, and could never get any farther.
My earworm has led me to Dueling Banjos on youtube. The part where it sounds like Yankee Doodle on steroids is on purpose, right?

Nope. Probably not until the middle of the year. And it's only Angostura, but since that's the only bitters anyone had for a longlong time, it's kind of like losing a piece of history.
Champagne cocktail - sugar, bitters, champers, lemon twist. I prefer Peychaud's overall, but I like the anise flavor in it.
Also, it makes it pink.
Pink pink pink!

Gary Regan's orange bitters is very good. (It's not sweet like a lot of things being sold these days as orange bitters.) Peychaud, of course.
It's a good time to stretch out and mess around with some other liqueurs, like the all-spice dram.
I wonder if I can convince the fam to watch the Oscars Sunday night. Maybe.
Owen is reading the Rolling Stone review of Alice in Wonderland. He just told me Johnny Depp is in it and he's from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

I wonder if I remember to watch it.
We still need to watch An Education and A Simple Man before Sunday night. I think we'll have seen more Best Picture nominees this year than any ever, which is weird considering there are more of them this year.
I finished my book. Now I have nothing to read on the train.

Mixers! Mixers! I'm buying you bitters and making other mixers. I'm not making bitters. And I have to get out to Pier 1 to get pretty bottles. Or find some other store. But I need small pretty bottles. Ahem.
