The Cozy Corner

[Nylonian]

I love the banter on the threads.
Feeling welcome despite how weird I might feel.
Being introverted in r/l I can escape here... Get to know people and be more open if that makes sense.
The chats and laughs from some really lovely friends I've made here.
Seeing a DM from someone special

Think that's about covered it

Morning all

Pours EyesOnHers the AMOC roasted Wilton Benitez Pink Bourbon he reserved from yesterday. It's served in an art deco mug.

You must be needing a filter after all that. Here's one I've been enjoying lately. Notes of peach and passionfruit nectar.

Friends, I finally did it. Voila, a Kir Impérial.

Friends, I finally did it. Voila, a Kir Impérial.

How was it?

How was it?

Delicious, nice balance of acidity and sweetness. I've always been partial to Chambord anyway.

Sounds delicious.

Good reminder to add Chambord to my shopping list

Speaking of delicious, it is time for another cup of coffee

Good idea, what else is on the list? (Asking for a friend)

One of my favourite cocktails ever, the bramble is made with it.

It's 3:2:1 of gin, lemon juice and simple syrup and then as much Chambord as syrup. Garnish with a chain of blackberries on an ornate pick.

I like a gin with a bit of florality for this. Something like The Botanist works really well.

Coffee is brewed in the French press... let me know if you'd like a cup

I wish I cocktails were kind to me but they leave me with a hangover. I always seem to have one more than I should.

That would be great, actually! Hope you had a great Saturday/Saturday night

 

[EyesOnHers]

Of course

 

[subdudeme13]

Of course

I don't remember having coffee from a French press. How is it?

Better than from a drop coffee maker not as good as from pour over ..... Otherwise you'd probably need @Nylonian to really articulate it

I think the best coffee I have had was "Puerto Rican" coffee, it is made with the coffee in a "sock" that is put in the water. My girl friend made it and now I wish I had paid attention, to the coffee!

 

[EyesOnHers]

Hope you had a great Saturday/Saturday night

Really good thanks
Nice walk in the countryside (live in the South Dows area).
Then some chilled day drinking listening to music

I'd add St.Germain (Hugo spritz), Aperol (Aperol spritz)and Ramazzotti Rosato (Ramazzotti spritz) to that list. Then you can really alternate your Prosecco drinks.
The ratios are the same for all. 5cl liquor, 10cl Prosecco and a splash of soda water. For Hugo spritz garnish with mint leaves, Aperol spritz a slice of orange and Ramazzotti spritz basil leaves.

My own favorite among those are Ramazzotti spritz!

That actually DOES Sound lovely. Sounds like a great way to recharge

Don't have to suck up to me. I already like you lots.

I meant it.... I know what I like coffee wise.... You have the language

I'm partial to the Aperol spritz myself. Probably because of my lineage.
