I have been looking for a recipe for Mint Julep made in a coffee can. Would you happen to know??? Thank you

Your “researchers” and I were at Clyde Common sampling food and cocktails just this Saturday, in fact. Ask Jenaya about the very peppery cocktail she had. The rest of us were snuffling up Manhattans made with Jim Beam Rye (peppery in a different way).

And you must remind Ryan that his is not a “library” of booze but a “collection.” There are deep, important reasons for this.

I use Tuaca with Watermelon juice occasionally. I find that Watermelon juice is thin, so most of the usual suspects just don’t work well with it.

Thank you! I’m glad someone noticed…

I got to see Charlie from Clyde Common in action at the Distillers Festival the prior weekend and have been anxious to get up there and try out the bar!

First, non-cocktail related, is the Mary Weiss in the background of the video. Props to that if you filmed it yourself. Second, should you ever find yourself in Portland, the Clyde Common bar downstairs of the new Ace Hotel is up and serving some very tasty cocktails. Crowd favorite was the kick in the pants - wild turkey, cold pressed coffee, splash of nocello shaken. served on the rocks with some condensed milk on top.

Great idea, Brian. I think pisco might have been the one liquor we didn’t actually have on hand that day! I’ll pass it along to the team, though.

You might want to try pisco with the watermelon juice - I was pretty happy with a pisco/cava/watermelon/lime cocktail I made for a party last year.

I love the pyllo ‘cupcakes’- the look and (I can imagine) the great taste!
