Oh my, it has been a minute but we are back! New house, new bar. Strawberry daiquiris don't have to be frozen and they don't have to be obnoxiously sweet. We flipped a switch and went Felernum on the left and a rose flower syrup on the right.

One thing about cocktailing is if you like it, you should remember what you put in it. Here's to being a dummy and making a great cocktail and totally forgetting what the ingredients were.

If you like reading Hemingway and you like a quality cocktail, "To Have and Have Another" is a great cocktail guide to make you feel like you are living the highlife. The Bailey is the third cocktail referenced and it is delicious.

Fresh mint, gin, grapefruit juice, lime juice and simple syrup. Buy the book for the ratios or do some science and figure it out on your own. You won't be disappointed
