What to drink now?

It was last year when I first got the LOOK. I met up with a group of women whom for one reason or another were in town or nearby and we're going to get together.

I arrived a mere 10 minutes late to the table where the four other ladies were sitting when the waitress arrived and asked me what I would like to drink.

Granted, I barely had finished saying hello to the group when however absent mindedly I answered the waitress with "Oh, Rum and Coke please" The waitress smiled and said great.

As I took my seat at number 6 chair at the table I got THE LOOK. Was it matronly- no, shame- possible, or straight judgement - yes. What I had either forgotten or just didn't have the common sense to remember but four of the ladies were non alcoholics or recovering.

Honestly, it didn't register until all the drinks were brought and I figured out what the look was for. Mind you, no one outright said anything until our meals arrived but, yikes people I forgot or again just wasn't paying attention. Which really is the truth. I didn't order a dozen or so I just ordered one and sipped it through the night.

Yet, it was mid bite that I got my downgrade "Well, we can't invite Patricia if she is going to be drinking alcohol" I tried my best to smile and try not to throw it in their face that it was them who would arrange weekends tasting wine and day drinking. I simply took it. Not wanting to get into an argument, but that is the thing...the holy than thou attitude continued

In response to my lagging workouts " Drinking wine will not help your waistline" I tried to nod in agreement without pounding on the table about how the speaker would go to a barre class then over to a wine bar nearby.

I just paid the bill for the table answering " Well, If I am going to be a martyr I might as well foot the bill for your meals" It was enough to get them to shut up and one venmo'd me some funds to cover their meal but, most felt justified which is sad.

I just left the table and went home. A week later I got an text, " Are you okay?" from my biggest bully and I simply stated "I appreciate your question, you take care ! " I admit I understand why people stop drinking. I know several people whom have stopped drinking and gone into programs.

Here is the thing, my rule of thumb is to simply do Arnold Palmers or Ice Tea when in public unless its all good to enjoy an alcoholic drink. My weakness is when someone else is paying and its really good wine or its an event.

But here is the thing you gotta know that the event or the party is non alcoholic beforehand. Equally, because I know the struggle is real from Trivia Nights at Wine Bars to Octoberfest socialization sometimes is a trigger for alcoholic indulgence but it doesn't have to be that way.

I enjoy going to the Exploratorium or Museums completely enjoying the experience sans alcohol yet, there appears to be alcohol EVERWHERE whether its advertising or some actor you follow. Suddenly, there it is like a gremlin or gravity tripping you up and you have to be an adult and reinforce the no alcohol.

I was volunteering and the subject came up and I didn't notice one of the ladies that was at the dinner was there too ( literally I am just not seeking these people out ). I related my tale and explained that I didn't know and in a group of strangers the debate continued. When I mentioned paying for the meals the other volunteers were shocked and said it was too much all the way around. The bullying and the osteraziation.

Afterward, I got a text from one of the woman who said "You really shouldn't have paid, but you also should have sent your drink back and not had alcohol "

I honestly did not know what to type back for the longest time and decided " Your meal was $32.58 would you can venmo me otherwise Take Care of yourself"

I have not heard a peep since. While losing a social group that I will inevitably see later this year is disheartening I don't think bullying is the answer. Simply take a piece of advice, start with water and go from there.

good luck because everyone is judging you.

passion fruit + grapefruit twist:

12 oz. grapefruit sparkling water

1/3 cup passion fruit juice cocktail

pomegranate berry “sangria”:

12 oz. cranberry, mixed-berry, or cherry sparkling water

1/3 cup pomegranate juice

optional, but recommended if using unsweetened juice(s): sugar to taste

cranberry lime:

12 oz. lime sparkling water

1/3 cup cranberry juice

optional, but recommended if using unsweetened juice(s): sugar to taste

i am the staunch defender of regis’ sobriety i will never not take the chance to remind everyone he doesn’t drink. from the most depthful analysis to the character fic to the throwaway jokes and incorrect quote posts. i will not let anyone forget about this

#thinking of that ‘oh this drink is really bad [gives it to friend to taste]’ #geralt’s soda gets passed around dandelion and the hanza #dandelion passes 2 regis who is about to take a sip then remembers to confirm its nonalcoholic and they’re like yeah yeah #idk. casual little acknowledgements #such that he pours the wine at yule for the rest of the company… #when i write or draw him at breakfast i always give him water #‘omg the others drink wine for breakfast 😳’ its extremely diluted #conversely whenever i see regis depicted with a glass of reddish liquid i go ‘that better be ribena motherfucker’ #‘that’s such a peculiar thing to focus on’ if you knew me you’d understand my pain #the elbow-high diaries

Mežpils. Bezalkoholiskais. Горечь делается солодовой насыщенностью и это чувствуется. Полной вкусовой похожести нет. Но этот напиток где-то довольно близко по вкусу к простому светлому пиву. Так что, чуть выше среднего. 3.0 #Mežpils #Bezalkoholiskais #beer #nonalcohol #sergejbiohazardovbeer #sergejbiohazardov #быстрыйобзор https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUl-aLM2hu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

IWTV Signature cocktails

We’ve got a home bar and enjoy developing new cocktails for our seasonal menus. Last winter's menu was based on internet sensation Jorts the Cat, for instance.

This weekend I hosted the first London meet-up for fans of the AMC Interview with the Vampire tv show so of course (of course!) we developed two signature cocktails in tribute for the event. Our fall menu is going to be Halloween-themed so we'll keep these in rotation for a while longer, too!

Un Petit Coup

This one’s a nicely balanced sweet, sour, smoky, and slightly spicy alcoholic sipping drink, with the bonus of having a pool of chocolate sauce at the bottom of the glass!

7.5ml Jalapeño syrup* 15ml Mezcal 15ml Cherry Heering 10ml Lime juice (~1/2 lime) Chocolate sauce drizzle rim Shake with ice. Hawthorn strain into a chilled Nick & Nora glass. Drizzle chocolate sauce around the inside of the rim.

* To make the Jalepeño syrup: Combine 1 chopped jalapeño, 100g sugar, 100ml water in a saucepan. Boil. Turn off heat. Once cooled, strain into jar & refrigerate. Lasts a few weeks so long as your jar or bottle is perfectly clean.

Tears of a Clown

We also wanted to offer our guests an equally fun non-alcoholic cocktail. My starting point for this one was that I wanted to hit as many tastes as possible - spicy, sour, sweet and bitter. I hate that so many non alcoholic cocktails are just sugar bombs, so I wanted something you could sip and savour. This is absolutely delicious, and well worth seeking out bottles of the Italian bitter soda Sanbitter online.

1 barspoon Siracha 75ml Cranberry juice drink 100ml Sanbitter Pomegranate seeds Build in a rocks glass. Stir siracha & cranberry together in glass to combine. Add ice. Top with Sanbitter & stir. Top with pomegranate seeds.

Please share if you'd drink these vampire cocktails! I saw that AMC had some really basic bitch Pom-sponsored mocktails at the SDCC activation, but frankly, ours are way, way better!

Feel free to ask me any questions about these and let me know what you think if you make them yourself!
