'our town' does a "restaurant week" every year - and in conjunction, a 'bar tender's contest'
mixologists come up with 'their best new and exciting' cocktail.

the one I found most exciting - and it's dead simple to replicate - a standard Manhattan, straight-up, with a swirled twist of orange peel.
delightful 'tones' to the usual....

Just back from the beach, back to the apartment and this is soooooo refreshing!

One of my most favoritest beers, and i don't drink alot of beer.
This is brewed here in Hawaii, on the Island of Maui (we're on Oahu) - support local!
The super cool glass is from a bar in Waikiki, we've been a few times, very unique in it's so old school tiki bar.
Good beer, pupus (appetizers) and loads od fun - live music every night - no cover charge -I hope that who ever left these beer glasses paid for them ....

LOVE the delirium tremens glass!
You've just reminded me to buy a bottle when I travel next week!

I've had home brews where there's 'sludge' in the bottom... Close your eyes and gulp???

That's the good bit!
A proper Weissbier, for example, should have some remaining yeast at the bottom.

I make bread so no issues with beer...

Some are meant to have some "sludge".
In a weizen, you swirl it back in.
With others you just leave the last little bit.
Most Belgian beers (tripels etc) will have some "sludge"

there is also a filtered version of Weissbier - "Kyrstal"
I prefer it, less 'sweet' on the aftertaste.
it's also not too popular in USA - hard to find - apparently most have been trained to the yeast sediment as the identifying 'factor'

We can also get Weihenstephaner Kristallweissbier here, as long as it’s a better-stocked beer store.
