How Long To Get Transition Lenses

Gin Tonic

just the spirits industry has always provided new marketing campaigns for affluent consumers. Be it directly through television advertising, more indirectly through ominous Blog Battles, still camouflaged by greasy relationship or simply through obviously pretty useless packaging and sale offerings, there are nothing that does not exist.

Predestined for odd advertising course, companies that already offer unusual products. In the area of Hendrick's Gin is a clear representative of this genre.
Gin from Scotland, alongside juniper with Bulgarian rose and cucumber salad flavored, just 200 liters per batch, made from the blended distillates, which are generated by two old and rare stills - but it still sounds promising.
The lovingly crafted and entertaining website this gin is already a great visual treat. What I could but in the duty-free shop to see in Dusseldorf, expanded my horizons, which detached Advertising is concerned, considerable: An oversized cardboard, gin all over with classic drawings, (t) cocktails, cucumbers and tea overwhelmed, which includes a bottle of Hendrick's and a porcelain cup and saucer included.
the gin I wanted to try anyway times, price was also attractive, and the collector instinct immediately struck by. Bought!

At home I was able to classify the twisted idea of advertising at last. Full of self-conviction claims Hendrick's, that of the "two-legged dachshunds from Borgou in Benin" about the "incredible Schrupfmänner from Pangkalpinang" to be "noble and wonderful experience of Hendrick's gin," the most extraordinary things is often the most remarkable.
This is the reason why Hendrick's believes that teatime was much more pleasant if one would opt for an alcoholic beverage instead of the classic cup of teas .
The next teatime should I take the mundane and pour yourself a cocktail Hendrick's.
is the end of the manufacturer, only the question of what justification is still needed except the fact that life is just too glorious as that one should not quirky pleasures of Hendrick's gin experience.
looks so simple and down to earth from the rationale for the puzzling Packing. ;-)

are also printed three recipes that I would not hide from you. For the classic race at the cocktails follows a brief review.

Tea Time Martini

• 6 large mint leaves 1 BL
• rose petal jam
• 1.5cl lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 5cl Gin (Hendrick's)

preparation
all ingredients in a teapot and fill with ice. Strong pull stir and let ("[...] leave to brew "). stylish and elegantly served in the Hendrick's tea cup.

Flora Dora

• 1.5cl lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1.5cl raspberry syrup
• 5cl Gin (Hendrick's)
• Ginger Beer *

preparation
all ingredients in a shaker and shake well. Serve on ice in the tea cup, with two raspberries and lime slice garnish.

* Ideally, non-carbonated ... ;-)

Unusual may well be the flattering description, and so completely I can not believe that one should seriously heat up the whole drink with ice in the two recipes.
matter - Gin Tonic with the Scottish product has been well established in the bar menu in the world:

Hendrick's & Tonic

• 5cl Gin (Hendrick's)
• Tonic Water

preparation
Hendrick's on ice to give top up with tonic and garnish with a slice of cucumber.

Already the formulation of this classic is very used to and probably draws more attention to itself as the drink inside. Ice cubes in a teacup ... really only useful as a gag.
flavors are more subtle then present clear juniper notes with incredible freshness ubiquitous cucumber. Unmistakably, a slight sweetness, not to mention the bitterness of tonic Waters altogether.
releases flavor continues the olfactory impression, and it shows the advantage that only very little besides gin tonic water and ice may be in the cup. Fairly mild and balanced presents the Gin a slightly confusing cucumber flavor, sweetness clearly plays well with. Disposal is determined by the tonic water.
Conclusion: A very light and I think quite pleasant, if not characteristic representative of the gin world.

In this sense: Time for Tea!

Sailor Jerry

follows promised, now is my personal estimate on the basis of the Blog Battles - for Sailor Jerry Spiced Caribbean Rum

The circumstances were already partly for me to read , but even when the rest of participants and of course in Mixology Blog .

For this reason, I put a historical summary or detailed backgrounds save the rum and the very excellent article by Sascha on cocktails Old Fashioned point.
I would be interested or which country or countries from which rum is the Rumblend. I found no official information, BarFish lists as its home country of Venezuela. Does anyone know more?

Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum Caribbean

Appearance: Deep amber to hazel. Light streaks, light reflections.

Smell: proposes initially forward to a discreet alcoholic sharpness, then follow new wood with clear vanilla, unfortunately, a little too intrusive.
Over time, you feel even more caramel and citrus fruits.
Someone could call the candy-like smell and ...

Taste: tingling on the tongue to water-based, wood on the palate with vanilla. In the finish begin to wine and toasted, nutty flavor perhaps in the direction of chocolates.

Conclusion: I'm quite honest - the distillate odor is interesting but takes a slightly artificial feel. This is contradicted in taste, although this is quite small, drunk with ice from the dryer still disappear more flavors. "Mild" would be a positive description. ;-)
In defense, it should be said that he compared to the Captain Morgan Spiced Rum worlds better cuts.

further information: Filler: Sailor Jerry Rum; Type: Spiced Rum, Alcohol content: 40% by volume; Approximate price: 23 € (0.7l)

remains the crucial question: What to do with this rather mediocre rum, if not just cocktails are to be created?

The niche in the classic bar or tiki drinks in me seems to be very small for Spiced Rum.
A look at the Sailor Jerry brand is interesting, however. Behind this fact, especially in the U.S., a considerable merchandising apparatus , the rum would advance in this respect on the scene drink - rum, the only taste slightly of rum and its alcoholic strength mild Hence it is paired with a trendy image, which will more?
The current action around BCB with an emphasis on Blogger is here to better market only logical.

At 7 Postcard - Sailor Jerry Sailor Jerry's Blog Blog Battle

The night was short, the bottle is almost empty and the taste buds have been put through adventurous creations to the brink of functioning.

But the work has paid off - my cocktail for the blog battle is and must be on a par with other great tiki drinks. ;-)
The difficulties of the other bloggers came naturally to me, too. You have to call it by its name: The rum is already weak in the pure taste and limiting weighs in on this one distillate heavy. There was more or less creative justification for it, after all, in the letter. :-D

but I deliberately decided against a solution with as few ingredients, because I wanted to take up at least rudimentary features of the typical tiki drinks. The result is:

Postcard At 7

• 1.5cl grapefruit juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 cl lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2.5cl cane sugar syrup (Giffard)
• 1.5cl blackberry liqueur (Giffard Mûroise du Val de Loire)
• 7.5cl Spiced Rum works (of course only Sailor Jerry!)

preparation
all ingredients give me plenty of ice cubes into the shaker, shake well and strain into a tumbler of fresh ice. Lime slice and a long Grapefruitzeste as decoration to give and serve with straw.

A brief taste classification for those interested: Behind the orange-brown Facade you will smell strong accents fruit, blackberry is outstanding, but also subtle vanilla should be mentioned.
soft on the tongue, palate sound sour blackberry and hazelnut tones. Grapefruit with subtle plays in the background. The finish is indeed balanced, but with a slight overhang to sweetness.


order followed to document for posterity a drink that has fallen victim to the rules, as well as an attention should be paid to the quick preparation for bigger events. While reading the recipe, everyone should stand out, why a fixed preparation is almost impossible ...

Grolol

• 1 / 2 apple (Golden Delicious)
• 1.5cl lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1.5cl cane sugar syrup (Giffard)
• 1.5cl Crème de Violette (The Bitter Truth)
• 6cl Spiced Rum (of course only Sailor Jerry !) chop

preparation
apple, to give Mixingglas, muddle and shake vigorously with all other ingredients over ice very strong. Per give Finest Rain in a chilled cocktail glass. The color of decoration is enough.

The picture:
Did angels ;-)

It may be read very unusual, but believe the results across the board. A drink with accentuated aromas, predominantly, of course, apple and rum, the crème de Violette also ensures a diffuse ease.
particularly useful test of the angels listened to not associate to emphasize that the individual ingredients do not overlap each other indefinable, but the taste of something big. Unfortunately
led attempts to "massentauglicheren" naturally cloudy apple juice did not produce the desired result, here you have everything prepared fresh.
Oh: The color is through the use of the crème de Violette very ... interesting. An eye-catcher on his way.

A more detailed presentation of the rum follows the weekend that it was the first blog battle.
Many thanks to the organizing team behind it, I would love to present at the Bartender's Night or the entire BCB. Unfortunately, talks like a little "work" against it.
The blog battle is / was definitely a great idea, it was great fun!

Middle Of My Tongue Hurts

Battle

For most, it was probably already obvious - the entry of Tuesday also links to participating in the blog battle .

My bottle arrived on Saturday and according to it on Sunday turned up a slight cold. Let's see how fit my taste buds are still ailing. After all, has to be a friend of mine on Thursday to drink through my creations, I take out the limit and will publish my recipe until Friday.

it is always exciting, as the rum - I am totally open and not take me the whole sleazy affect conditions ,-D - rather in the solid middle class and play no great revelation. More then towards the end of the week.

Where Can I Find Product Number On My Quickbooks

Skënderbeu Brandy / konjac

The distillate of this article is named after the only person to accept all the Albanians as a national hero: Skënderbeu. Or Skanderbeu. Or Skenderbeg. Or Skanderbeg. Or ... Oh, I do not know. In the Albanian language, there are many Deklinationsmöglichkeiten. This requires one hand to find the words never again in the dictionary and understand the opposite on the other hand never know what you think yourself straight.

This fact is aggravated me from a totally unknown reason: In part (I'm just laid on the following notation) Skënderbeu as "konjac" sold, in part as "Brandy". Some shops carry both products, in others there is only one product, there is no regularity observed.

that is not all black writer to benefit from the proliferation of the simplest level of quality (Also only the ones I had in 95% of the business can buy), the empty bottles to fill with their home-made vodka again and bring it into the trade.
occasionally be seen occasionally, not at the fake revenue stamp. However, there is no one really bothers.

matter in Hairy Lemon Hostel stood around two bottles of brandy Skënderbeu. The back fill should be forged, not the front. So I grabbed
the professional tasting glass and wanted to treat me a little of this precious drop.
Originally my plan was indeed the fact that 13 years of excellence test for lack of availability (even in the Albanian Duty Free is not the flagship product of the Albanian art fuel was sold!) it had the youngest representative.

short a little history: from 1444 Skënderbeu fought against the invasion by the Ottomans in Albania and is able to actually stop in northern and central Albania, but do not throw back.
He died in 1468, ten years later, the Ottomans managed to break through and occupied Albania for over 400 years.
lot more history there is not really self-expression and the the distillery is anything but enlightening.

Skënderbeu Brandy

Appearance: Dark amber , subtle streaks and no reflections / distortions.

Smell: Reminds directly to paint thinner. Slightly acrid and pungent, unpleasant sharp.

Taste: on the tongue like water, on the palate shows the delicate flavor profile as follows: sprittig, sprittig, sprittig, sprittig, sprittig, light fruit note sprittig, sprittig, sprittig.
direct outlet is fortunately very short with no discernible taste, but one can trace the path of good brandy in the stomach - a strong, burning sensation makes possible.

Conclusion: If this is the original, I do not know the fake. to use than as antifreeze or floor cleaner, but even then there are more pleasurable products on the market.

further information: Bottlers: ADOL Ltd.; age. 3.5Y; alcohol content (?): 40% by volume; Approximate price: 300-500ALL (€ 2.20-3.70) (0.7l)

What remains at the end to say? If you want to drink something local, so one should not resort to this product, the scarcely available to more than 13 years of bottling. An alternative would be
Albanian raki, but here is the quality of luck in every city is something else burned. Ultimately, not even talking

the price of the brandy - for 145ALL (1.06 €) you get 1.5l Tirana Beer in PET bottle. Has just as much style, but still a recommended beer. Slightly tart and brewed at least according to label only the well-known four ingredients.
's get well!

Cakes Made With Maltitol

ribs with bourbon and orange pepper sauce


Who has not? Summer is about to be warm, Issue 3 of Mixology flutters early June to the house and we found a promising recipe for spare ribs. Is resolved quickly: Soon, the grill fired up and tested. And
then ... nothing happened for a long time. Several unexpected happens, it's raining or if your friends do not have time. In mid-September but then it was ready. ;-)

The recipe is from Steven Paul, was published in Mixology 3 / 2010 and appears here in slightly modified form.
one hand, I have replaced the name of a famous Tennessee whiskey through a universal form and on the other hand, the amounts adjusted a bit, there's at least for me much too much sauce left over.

spare ribs with bourbon and orange pepper sauce (for 2 persons)

• 1kg spareribs (unmariniert)
• 2 cloves garlic 10g
• Ginger
• small 1 Orange
• 5cl bourbon
• 3 tablespoons liquid honey
• 160ml tomato ketchup
• 0.75 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• black pepper (spice mill)
• salt
• oil

preparation
The ribs into manageable portions cut, washed and simmer for one hour in salt water. The meat can cool off in the South.
garlic and ginger into small pieces, rub orange peel and squeeze the orange and give everything in a bowl.
Whiskey briefly in a pot boil, honey, add ketchup, olive oil and paprika and back to the boil. add
Now the ingredients from the prepared dish, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
take Prior to cooking ribs from the water, brush lightly with oil and place directly on the grill. The finished
grilled spareribs coat with the sauce and give coarsely ground pepper.

lack of alternatives, I resorted to Elijah Craig, what turned out to be gold right choice. Smoked paprika to give unfortunately I had and have as normal.
my opinion, comes to the Simmern or cooling down in the south of particular importance, because the ribs were not at all dry or stringy, they were tender and the meat has almost by itself from the bone dissolved (as opposed to the Luau Sweet & Sour Spareribs - I guess that really cooking in the oven by 20 minutes here in the pot should be the maximum).

The highlight is of course the sauce - the smell may get used to be, the taste, however, speaks volumes. The Bourbon
base is marked perceptible honey brings a pleasant sweetness than sugar into their food and over all hovers Orange - fantastic. Not to mention a hot and spicy note, pepper caused by the combination of garlic, ginger and fresh. According

recipe can simmer the ribs the day before and refrigerate overnight in broth, the sauce will keep refrigerated for two days.

from me therefore, a clear recommendation, it was to a salad, potato salad and French bread with herb butter. A dark beer tasted very well with the strong flavors, as a cocktail after dinner offers a whiskey / Boston Sour with Elijah Craig, in order to restore the connection to food. :-)

order not to lose the original amount of detail, it values the printed version of Mixology:

ribs with Jack Daniel's orange-pepper sauce (for 1 kg spareribs)

• 7.5cl Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey
• 1kg spareribs (pre-order from your butcher)
• salt
• 5 tablespoons liquid honey
• 250ml Heinz Ketchup
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 teaspoon smoked paprika (Paprika Dulce de la Vera Ahumado)
• 2-3 garlic cloves
• 10g ginger tuber
• 1 small orange (untreated)
• black pepper
• oil for the spareribs

preparation

For

Cervical Mucus Blood Before Period

Concepcion 1990

are usually blinded different rum distillates in their maturation in order to obtain a reproducible, brand-specific product. The age is based on the latest distillate.
Jahrgangsrums are subjected to much more volatile and therefore particularly interesting. On the one hand, they can offer in good years, a unique taste experience. A lasting impression may, of course, also set in bad years ... Not to mention that the collector Rieb plays along - the quantity is understandably limited. At today's meeting
product both sides a little.

Beautiful Tag!

The rum was within the Volcano Collection on the market. In Germany, this series seems to be common but little, although some are quite interesting to rum.
11 years matured the distillate in Kentucky bourbon barrels and was bottled 2,001th Many more are on the label is not applicable, can be found online as no further information.
The bottler - Licorera Compañia de Nicaragua - is also responsible for the Flor de Caña series. Therefore, it is not surprising that I have assumed a direct proximity to the Flor de Caña Black Label (fortunately only subtly, because I do not like the Black Label).

Concepcion 1990

appearance: amber color, medium to light reflections and streaking.

Smell: noticeable even from a distance flavors. Unfortunately, very uncomfortable on the solvent (turpentine?). On the nose, the smell intensified, is displaced by the time of mild fruit and a certain sweetness. Pronounced berry, subtle wood and coffee notes.

Taste: Even a slight tingling sensation on the tongue, palate clear wooden and rather reserved almonds. As time was ripe for me Recognizable fruits, along with tobacco in the finish. This is unfortunately quite sharp and burning.

Conclusion: really wrong with the pleasant rum-developed force. The flavors are too weak for the "strength" to justify the departure.
No recommendation, but also no disappointment.

further information: Bottlers: CLNSA, age: 11y, alcohol content: 40% by volume; Vintage: 1990 Approximate Price: 33 € (0.7l)

I'm so divided on these two rum What pure but only can excite the part is usually much better in a cocktail.
Instead of the usual Testing in Sour I decided, therefore, for a fruitier, more exotic version and took the Doctor Cocktail and adapted one of the "historic" recipes. The result is impressive!

Doctor Cocktail

• 2.5cl lime juice (freshly squeezed)
• 5cl Swedish Punch (even set)
• 5cl Aged Rum (Concepcion 1990)

preparation
Shake all ingredients over ice in a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a lime zest give.

simplicity in appearance, complex in flavor

It is the perfect cocktail

convinced the drink across the board. The sour smell promises a fresh fruit drink with a light, but rather unspectacular. But the doctor convinced
cocktail on the palate full. Lovely aromas caress the tongue and palate - that's amazing! - Show only the good side of the rum. Light and luscious fruit Tabak/Holz- tones.
Swedish Punch handles the disposal of exotic way, and rounds out the drink.

In this cocktail of rum definitely a recommendation and it shows again the importance of conscientious Selection of the base spirits and the proportions with each other is. The ratio 6:3:3 with Appleton Extra tasted this Doctor at all do not need.

The telephone connection was indeed bad, but if I understood everything correctly, there in the foreseeable future, a most interesting project. I'm looking forward!

Kmbd Bus Stand Hotels

holidays are over - unfortunately, as I now can say quite clearly.
an unbelievably wonderful country, helpful and sympathetic people on every corner, fascinating landscapes and a rather undervalued price / performance level. Especially in restaurants, the prices for delicious meals well affordable.

A few nice pictures to follow, now it is all about the alcoholic side of Albania.

In Tirana there was a Tiki bar with a nice decoration - unfortunately the bartender did not faux-Polynesian drinks, spoke no English and the Tiki-Mugs employees seemed to be only on their work clothes a term.
pity, because the cocktails were not completely wrong (freshly squeezed lemon juice, crushed ice cold, fresh ice in the glass), but unfortunately lacked a bit of that sensibility. No Jigger, everything was shaken with crushed ice, Granity glasses for everything.

Skenderbeu konjac ... we do not talk about it. The standard filling is undrinkable (I caught allegedly even an original filling, often, the empty bottles filled with homemade booze and resold), announced the 13-year-old Skenderbeu nowhere to buy.

surprise it was to offer the spirits in the supermarket. were the usual suspects are plentiful (Smirnoff, Chivas Regal, Bacardi, Gordon's ...), but in any province supermarkets you can find really Pampero Especial, and - hold on - Johnnie Walker Blue Label. However, the bottle may have got there, the price was slightly higher than the German.

Raki is the national drink. In a hostel in Berat was just another 10l delivery of homemade raki in (in PET bottles), this should be better than that of the last delivery. Quite honestly, I do not know the last filling must have tasted ...
A little drinkable was the self-made raki a traditional restaurants. Unfortunately, I was the only one who found it. The girls liked him at all, it was again all depend on me. ;-(

The visit of the Cobo winery it made a lot up for that.
It is the most famous wine estate in the country, the president and some ambassadors are regular visitors to the summer festival.
The annual production of 100,000 Bottles and the storage areas are very clear. Proud we were an international wine guide shown in which the operation is mentioned as the only positive Albanian property.
The interesting tour of the small family business, the owner introduced himself, including exciting translation arts. The man spoke only Albanian and Italian. My companion and I agree we can only in German, English and French. Fortunately, there were two English-speaking visitors here, one of them spoke good English. Since English and Italian are probably comparable or less, the owner could tell in Italian, which translates into a visitor English and my companion and I discussed a few things continued in German. Questions were asked via English into English. The is multicultural!
We three products were given to taste, Shesh i Bardh (white wine, light and sweet and tasty, but nothing special), Kashmere (red wine, full and sweet, incredible fruitiness) and raki me Arra (with spices and nuts offset, mature raki. Milder than the self-made and full of flavor).
Of the latter two products were then each bottle with the luggage.

make the beer breweries in the country also produces a regular beer. The filling of the 50th Birthday of Tirana Beer was very good, nice strong Malznote. Almost like dark beer.
But the bitter legal standard filling is good, Korca Beer also liked.

On the way back I made a stop at the Duty Free Shops and covered myself in Albania with a liter bottle of Beefeater 47 € for 9 *, in Munich, one liter of Ron Zacapa went 23 for 49,50 € (unfortunately, the new filling is moderate to usable) in my possession and over in Dusseldorf was joined by a very nice bottle of Hendrick's Gin (liter bottle to € 32.90). Especially nice because it was a great addition.
How exactly you came at Hendrick's to "Time for Tea," says I do not. But the porcelain cup is well made and I find the idea funny, especially the totally outrageous statement to a board side is highly amusing. The story is there along with a tea-time drink. ;-)



were the first highlights from Albania, who has come on the taste may register you. A holiday country in which one with a little adventure can still gain great experience!

* In (Western) European Duty Free Shops liquids sealed in special bags so that you get as a transit traveler no problems in subsequent checks. In the Albanian Duty Free liquids are also sealed in special bags. These differ slightly from the European. How exactly is
was a life-threatening danger, as I tried to enter coming from the Albanian security sector in the German security area of the airport with just this welded Beefeater bottle, I could even the security forces not to explain. Because, however, of an Albanian bags, I had to give up the bottle with a backpack as checked baggage (for Lufthansa after all for free), otherwise they would have been thrown away ...
