McEwen Talking Tax Policy and Real Estate With 700WLW’s Eddie and Tracy

March 9th, 2010 · No Comments

Listen to the audio here.  I think you can tell by my tone – as someone who worked nights to save for a home down payment and then bought a sensible house – I don’t appreciate either of these policies.

Rushing Spring Cocktail-The Japanese Slipper

February 23rd, 2010 · No Comments

During the fall and winter I drink brown liquors-Bourbon, Rye, and Scotch.  Spring and summer I dig out the gin.  That’s the way I like it.

But it’s February and I’m soooo tired of winter and I’m (can’t believe I’m saying this) soooo tired of the brown stuff that I needed to try something new so I did.  It may be a little early but this spring time delight just may bring a little spring into your world.  If you’re the same, try the Japanese Slipper.

Into a shaker with ice pour
1 oz of Midori (muskmellon liqour)
1 oz of cointreau (if you’re rich try Grand Manier, but me I like Patron’s Citronge.  It comes in a orange square bottle.
1 oz of lemon juice – about 1 lemon.

Shake, strain into a cocktail glass.  It’s electric green, light and sweet.

Your Snow Bound Cocktail-The Rob Roy

February 5th, 2010 · No Comments

So the snow is falling and you’re out buying your eggs, milk, and bread (french toast?) why not pick up some things for cocktails?

The one I’ve been playing with lately is the Rob Roy.

Dale Degroff says to make it this way.

2 oz scotch
1 oz sweet vermouth
a couple dashes Peychaud’s bitters

Good, but for me there’s something missing.  Maybe it’s the weather.  I only made one change and that was in the bitters.  I switched over to Reagan’s No. 6.  The citrus brightens the drink.  I like that on a snowy day in February.

Give it a try and let me know what you think.
