Presenting Wavesweeper, a Hazy West Coast IPA from @TheWhiteHag
Full of tropical fruit notes in both aroma and flavour. The Hoppiness is mellow rather than bitter & it has a delicious dry and refreshing aftertaste

This is why you want old people mixing your drinks.

Trying out an #espressomartini with a Parmesan Cheese topping - it's an interesting combination that adds a touch of #umani savouryness to the flavour particularly the aftertaste
It's interesting, but I'm not sold on it , personally I prefer the original #espressomartiniss .

Interesting #Negroni variation 🥃

Btw I've tried adding Balsamic vinegar to Negronis before (thanks Stanley Tucci 👍) and personally I found 'less to be more' - anything more than a dash was too much.

10 years ago my dumb mug is the cover for the Buff News’ arts/culture insert mourning the end of this fabulous dump. 2 years later I’m back on the cover for an article about craft cocktails in Buffalo.
Neither time was I warned I’d be on the cover 🤨
