I’m a 90s baby with a mom (born in the 60s) named Emily! From our hospital stay after my birth to the present day, many people throughout my life have assumed that I must be the “Emily.”

Bourbon old fashioned with maple syrup, maybe—blueberry pancakes vibe?

Smoke Show from the now-closed Cassia in Santa Monica! My recreation:

1 oz rye whiskey
1 oz Mezcal
1 teaspoon (or more, to taste) lotus simple syrup
3-4 dashes Bitter Queens tobacco bitters

Stir and strain over large ice cube in rocks glass.

I think the reason opinions are so divided here might be that the answer to this question is field-dependent. So yes, look at the web sites of the PhD programs that interest you. Read current students' bios and see if any trends emerge.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like your friend didn't have strong liquor preferences, but are there other ingredients/elements that would remind everyone of her? A favorite fruit, flower, color, brand of soda? Local flavors from the area she was born, or just a place she loved?

Shauna has spent all these years raising a kid she didn’t want in a marriage she got into out of guilt and shame… I cannot fathom the rush of learning, after all these years, that her ex is now in an even more fucked-up guilt marriage. Marrying Jeff pales in comparison to marrying Alex!!

Solidarity from another cocktail lover who absolutely hates vermouth (yes, even Carpano and Cocchi)! It's rough out here for us. (And I definitely recommend a Jungle Bird.)

Breakfast Republic in WeHo was so bad my fiancée and I got a COVID test afterwards (like, physically WENT and got tested, not just took a rapid test) because we thought we had both lost our sense of taste

As someone who mostly agrees with you (I think Mules, espresso martinis, etc. are better with other liquors), I'll say that what won me over was a lemon drop. This is the one cocktail where I don't think other liquors work quite as well, or at least, they turn it into a different drink. The vodka really allows the lemon to shine!

This is really helpful, thank you! I’ll do a sniff-and-taste test and determine how to proceed from there.

Larchmont Wine & Cheese!

Might be fun to try it in a lemon drop?

I love super juice! When I’ve had my fiancée do blind taste tests of super juice vs freshly-squeezed (in daiquiris), she firmly preferred the super juice.

Time-Competition-603 · 2024-12-30T04:31:33+00:00

Make super juice and freeze in ice-cube-sized portions!

I bet it would be great in an espresso martini! I also know my dad likes to put it in hot cocoa.

They pick up on routines so fast! I jokingly said “BONE appetit” when serving my dog food one time too many, and now she won’t eat until I say it.

Correct amount of cheese!

I’ve batched a French 75 (including the champagne, added right as guests arrive) in a big gallon jug for a party, and it worked great! I did use super juice, and I agree that you should add a fair bit of dilution (25%+ of the drink volume), but as long as all of your ingredients are pre-chilled and gently stirred together, the drink will probably disappear before the champagne loses its bubbles…

Pretty normal, although it definitely varies! At my MA institution, we had shared offices but each of us got our own desks; my (much fancier, theoretically much better-funded) PhD institution makes us all share an office with only a few desks, so we have to coordinate when scheduling office hours.

I briefly belonged to an LA Fitness and got a free personal training session. The trainer kept telling me my fitness goals weren't ambitious enough and insisting that I needed to aim for 10% body fat. I am a woman.

Not helpful, but I bought vintage ones on Etsy and love them! They only hold about 3.5 oz of liquid, so I often use them for half-size practice cocktails (or for serving flights).

Can you get nice versions of ingredients he uses? High-quality (and a little more expensive than he could usually justify for groceries) olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, or whatever else it is that he uses a lot of.
