@AlaskaAir @HawaiianAir And yes, I could pay to book those seats now, but 4x the cost!? $4,266?!?

[Brandon Cummins @mistar5]

@AlaskaAir @HawaiianAir I don't understand how a Monday rebooking for a cancelled flight from today is even close to reasonable? Especially when I can purchase on another of your flights today?!?

Just posted a photo @ Prairie Village, Kansas https://t.co/d9MHWC9h9P

Got it! @xacto knife ftw. Just FYI though - not sure what happened there!

[Brandon Cummins @mistar5]

@wilfulton just an FYI - Armagnac is older than Cognac by ~150 years. Older sibling. ;) Lesser known, but highly coveted.

A little @foursquarerumus 2008 Manhattan? Absolutely. Seems ideal for a Saturday night.

And yes, these rums are epic in cocktail. If you haven't seen my video on the Exceptional Cask Selections - please check it… https://t.co/6JQt0mmPsy

Some days in the office are much more telling than others...

Cheers to everyone celebrating #nationaltequiladay today! I'm lifting up a glass of @elvelotequila Blanco after some great quick shoots. Off to editing… https://t.co/HzS68lJTh9

Happy National Daiquiri Day!!

I took this photo at 9:40a this morning... No. I didn't drink the daiquiri just then, but I do really like the lighting in our house at that time. :) (Daiquiri is saved for later)

So… https://t.co/vkzAjWWyJq

Getting ready for my first Socially Distanced LIVE tasting! Talking @probitasrum and @foursquarerumus at the conductorclubkc! Immensely thankful for all the precautions being taken and even more thankful for my… https://t.co/DundaKrtxv

A little Friday / pre-holiday BIG BOLD Margarita! And yes, I work with ElVelo, and helped develop the flavor profile and production process, so I'm super biased!

2 ozs ElVelo Blanco
1 oz fresh lime juice
1/2 oz… https://t.co/TqUajN6HBm

Any guess what's in the glass? A bit of filming today, invited to be a guest on an account's cocktail feature - with a bit of brand and category history! @ Kansas City, Missouri https://t.co/Nh1kwDfBbN

[Brandon Cummins @mistar5]

Me: "like my random video studio in our dining room?
Wife: "don't you just have a zoom call???"
Me: "psh, no. It's a cocktail demo and rum tasting."

Me: "I'll get it all cleaned up. Don't worry"

Happy Friday! The new @foursquarerumus 2008 (12-yr Ex-Bourbon @ 60%) and some new rare sticks from privadacigarclub. 💪💪💪 @ Kansas City, Missouri https://t.co/hitR3MPUGb

@ChrisOsburn loving all the "bartender suggested" pieces! FYI, just noticed on the world Gin day piece that Right Gin was mentioned as being from Switzerland, but it's actually Sweden. (oops!)

So who am I? A short intro...

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a bit of a nerd - something I take pride in.

I love Star Wars, Marvel, & DC - although more into the movies & shows; never got into comics proper...… https://t.co/yXL0Uw1mXT

One chapter ends... And another...

I had my "rum epiphany" with the Foursquare Port Cask - I had no idea rum could taste that complex - and had no idea so many rums add sugar to the final product; needless to say,… https://t.co/UQHfM4bxA3

Spirits Caramel...

This is 1 oz of @elvelotequila Blanco with 4 drops of spirits caramel added. Just to see... Totally unscientific, but starting to experiment... Zero flavor alteration, but darker than a 12yr… https://t.co/4oDR7YyFmK

Curbside ElVelo Margaritas from themonarchbarkc?! Yes please.

(For my Leawood friends, https://t.co/A7sh6EUyBA
has some killer offerings as well! Checkout their list on their Instagram profile)

Had to indulge a bit… https://t.co/0CJEI5buQB

Rum & Tonic... Kinda...

Some nights you opt for a fancy cocktail... And others, fancy isn't necessarily the goal. Tonight it was definitely the latter.

I've always enjoyed a rum and tonic, I had a guest order one… https://t.co/A0bKRcJWSp

So last night, our three year old wanted to have a "fancy dinner" pulling out all of the china, including tea cups and tea pots...

Naturally a fancy "special drink" was also in order. The full dinner and drink… https://t.co/GeXcyycfLJ
