Last night's drinks:
#2 - Apple of My Eye at the Punch Room. This drink is intended for two people. I was alone. Yes, I drank the whole thing. It changes colors over time as the dried flowers on the surface rehydrate and infuse their color into the drink. It starts out this gorgeous amber color and is deep red by the time it's done.

That's a very nice effect! There are so many good garnishes and practices at the places we all go to... Sadly we can only adopt a limited number in our home bars.

I make a drink where I step outside, use a creme brulee tourch to light a small pile of apple wood chips on a 4" small iron pan, then place a Double Old-Fashioned glass over the top to smother the flames. This puts a nice smoky background into the glass. Can't remember where I learned that, but it is very unique and memorable when I have guests over and make it.
