COUNTDOWN

Garden and Gun - what's looking like my go to these days posted a GUIDE TO TAILGATE COCKTAILS today on the fb. Back in my day it was just beer till you got to the watered down coke with Evan Williams... but the kids today like the fancy.

Really only sort of kidding, some of these drinks sound great.


This one I will be tying asap:


THE TALLULAH

1.75 oz Jack Daniels
1 oz Peanut Orgeat *
Coca Cola

Yeah, not a clue with the peanut Orgeat either , but its sort of orange flavored peanut butter
the recipe 

*Peanut orgeat
makes 1 ¼ cups

2 cups roasted, unsalted peanuts
1 ½ cups sugar
1 ¼ cups water
1 tsp. orange flower water
1 oz. brandy or vodka

Pulverize peanuts in a food processor. Meanwhile, combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar dissolves. Allow mixture to boil for three minutes, then add peanuts. Lower heat, allowing mixture to simmer for several more minutes, then gradually increase the temperature. When mixture is about to boil, remove from heat, and cover.
Let mixture sit for at least six hours. Then strain it through cheesecloth, discarding peanuts. Add orange flower water and brandy or vodka. Keep for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
