Aunt Ginger and Uncle Angostura
So, I have this stomach ache. And it sucks. I feel as if Democrats and Republicans have just met outside of Congress and they’re fighting over a bill before it is even passed on Capitol Hill. Dad offers a simple concoction: ginger ale and Angostura bitters. Though no ice is involved, the drink is still cold. I imbibe the simple cocktail and revel in the smoothness and richness of the bubbles going down to my unruly stomach.

Let me start by admitting that I am not a big drinker. I always loved a cocktail or two or three when I went out with friends, but I have never cared for a cocktail at home. It usually makes me sleepy and unproductive.

Smoothies are the sh*t and I refuse to believe otherwise. If you don't like cold, fruity, and just strong enough on a hot day in good, socially distant company, then close this page and rethink some life decisions (medical conditions exempt).
Paul BoksermanPublished 4 years ago in ProofChasing a ‘Summers Kiss’ in winter
June signifies that ‘winter has arrived’ in Australia. The day days are shorter, the weather is horrendous and people opt to stay home (enjoying their creature comforts) rather than head out in the freezing cold. Barbecues, backyard cricket and days lazing on the beach are nothing but a distant memory.
A Drink for the Allergic.
If you've looked at my profile picture before or after you read the title, you may have estimated an article about the "Asian flush".

Sunday Brunch has been a tradition between my friends and me for as long as we’ve been old enough to drink. Nothing starts the week better than spending a Sunday morning with a mimosa in one hand and a dollar bill to tip a Drag performer with the other. Between glasses, we spend time sharing plans for the next weekend while dreading having to go back to work the next day. This is a small luxury we love to take part in, but sadly that came to an unforeseeable break when COVID-19 resulted in a Stay at Home Order. With these new guidelines and restrictions in place, my workplace found it better for everyone to work from home, so I ran to the nearby grocery store after my last shift.
A Walk in the Park
About 5 years ago I had gotten my bartenders license hoping I’d be able to get a job as a bartender. It was a 4 weekend course in Toronto...I’m sorry on the other end of Toronto; but it was worth it, or so I thought. I never got a job because nobody wants an inexperienced bartender and my family loves to take advantage of everything I had learned especially the fact that I could now basically be the cover for any of their gatherings for events because they could tell owners that “yes we have a licensed bartender on the premises.”
Slip Into A Canadian Favorite
To my shock and dismay there aren’t too many people that know of this drink and I will pass it on for those that want to experience a summer like no other.

I'm really not much of a drinker-- I got all the partying and fun out of the way between the ages of 17 and 21. By "partying" I mean I drank enough to have lasted an entire lifetime, and by "fun" I mean mostly not at all fun times, a lot of being hit on by creeps, forgetting a lot of details of my evenings, and a lot of throwing up. So you may already be thinking I have no business telling you how to make a delicious cocktail but I guess that's your business. So let's both just mind our own, shall we?
5 Cocktails with Seriously High Alcohol Content
Cocktails are usually mixed from various spirits, alcoholic beverages, fruit juices, soft drinks and ice. This results in an independent, often fruity taste that puts the alcohol taste in the background, making it difficult to estimate how much alcohol you are actually drinking. Today I would like to share a list of high alcohol drinks that should be drunken with care. The following cocktails when done well can be, simply put, dangerously tasty.
Peter JonesPublished 4 years ago in ProofThe spicy delights of a Bloody Mary
Hemingway thought it was “worthless” to make less than a pitcher of Bloody Marys. While I agree in spirit – pun intended – in practice I make do with a glass. Why did lockdown call up a craving for a Bloody Mary? Maybe because I could tell myself it was almost more of a snack than a drink (and healthy at that! Tomatoes! Celery!) but maybe because a Bloody Mary makes me think of my Mom, who loved them and taught me to drink them. I lost her over a decade ago, my dad a couple of years before that; but they are present to me whenever I’m in the kitchen, and as I mix my Bloody Mary I can hear my mother’s ice clink in her glass.
