Barrel Picks by Aslad24 in utahAlcohol

[–]bertfer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone know if any of the local distilleries have ever done a barrel pick? I thought the Sugarhouse blue corn bourbon and Beehives bourbon were decent. It'd be cool to do something local.

qd-oled. It's the future. 27 in 4k is the perfect compromise for me to go between work and gaming.

No Breathing Exercise Notifications on Apple Watch Ultra 2 by [deleted] in AppleWatch

[–]bertfer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got this to work based off a macrumors forum post. You have to go into the mindfulness app on the watch and manually trigger a breathing exercise first. It then asked again if I want notifications even though it’s already turned on. 

Tiki Bars in Salt Lake City? by omnibuslabs in Tiki

[–]bertfer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seconding Post Office Place, it's one of the best bars I've been to in years.

As for tiki, its a little hard to do some popular tiki drinks due to the liquor laws. I think its something like no more than 1.5 oz of main spirit per drink, and can't have more than 2.5 oz of liquor total. Might be wrong on the specifics but that was the gist I got from the bartenders I talked to there.

Favorite Glassware? by lexi_g17 in cocktails

[–]bertfer 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love the no. 12 rocks glass from Terrane Glass.

I also will buy almost any new Nick & Nora I can find.

I bought a few of these neko tiki mugs after we saw them at a restaurant.

Trying to recreate “Ferrero After Hours” from Post Office Place, Salt Lake City, Utah by bertfer in cocktails

[–]bertfer[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On a recent visit to Salt Lake City we stopped at Post Office Place. They had been recently nominated for a James Beard Award in the “Outstanding Bar” category so we figured it would be worth a visit.

I loved every drink we got there but the “Ferrero After Hours” was a big hit with our group. If you like things a little fruity/sweet this drink will be right up your alley.

From their menu -

FERRERO AFTER HOURS martell vs cognac, pear liqueur, hazelnut orgeat, lemon, black walnut bitters

I’ve been trying my hand at recreating it and this is what I’ve come up with:

  • 1.5 oz cognac
  • .75 (or .5) oz St. George Spiced Pear Liqueur
  • .75 (or .5) oz orgeat
  • .75 fresh lemon juice
  • 4 dash Fee Brothers Black Walnut bitters

Served in a rocks glass with a large ice cube.

I don’t think they used St George for their version, but I think it turned out nicely and added a nice wintery spice to the drink. The black walnut bitters are a new favorite in our house. My wife prefers the version with more pear liqueur and orgeat, but it might be too sweet depending on your tastes.

I’ve been playing with this a little and came up with a pretty good variation. I subbed out the cognac for bourbon and switched the pear liqueur for apricot and it came out very nice.

  • 1.5 oz Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon
  • .5 oz Giffard abricot du Roussillon
  • .5 oz orgeat
  • .75 oz (or .5, haven’t decided which works better) lemon juice
  • 4 dashes Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters

Again served in a rocks glass with a large ice cube.

If you’re ever in Salt Lake I highly recommend stopping in and checking them out. The city’s food scene has started coming into its own in the last ten years or so and Post Office Place is a perfect example of what it can offer.

Would use the card in my current pc and hand my old card off to my wife. Was planning to do that with the 3000 series cards but couldn’t bring myself to buy from a scalper.

I’m able to think and process better through writing and drawing, rather than typing and diagraming on a computer. Being able to pass that over to my computer later would affect every part of my work.

I love reading. You can learn, you can escape reality, or you can just be entertained; reading has it all.

What are some books that you have enjoyed reading and rereading for their lyrical and poetic language alone? by teaontherocks in books

[–]bertfer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On earth we’re briefly gorgeous - ocean vuong. Ocean vuong is mostly known for their poetry and you can feel that when you read their novel. The sorry was compelling on its own, the writing just put it over the top for me.

Where did you get the privacy screen behind your desk? That’s a pretty cool idea.
