What is amaro? But of course there's a Melik sidebar that happens first. He talks about date night that had an enjoyable meal.  Amaro has a simple meaning of bitter. It is a bitter liqueur. Grappa based spirit that has herbs, spices, botanicals added to it that is reduced from a 'brandy' to an amaro. This is a followup of "booze can be medicine". A lot of amaros were made to be medicinal. "Holistic medicine is that amaro is all about", Keith.  Keith adds Fernet Branca to the mix with a flavor of spice melange. [Melange, often referred to as simply "the spice", is the name of the fictional drug central to the Dune series of science fiction novels by Frank Herbert, and derivative works.]  Melik talks about the treatment of people in the service industry.  Amaro is a digestif that can be defined as "the end of the end". The recipe for this is simple - Fernet Branca and Coca-Cola, as the Argentinians do. There's also Branca Menta which goes well with a little bit Sprite. The Coca-Cola Company are not paid advertisers.   If you can find Art of the Age - "Root", you'll find a special treat. Cocktail Recipe: The Toronto - 2 oz of Canadian Whiskey, 1/4 oz of Fernet Branca, 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, and a dash of Angostora bitters. Shake, pour on the rocks, and orange peel as the final ingredient. Melik does throw out a few curse words in this episode.  ---   Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/contemplatingcocktails/message

Contemplating Cocktails w Keith S1 Ep8 Absinthe

[there are some curse words in this episode] Keith and Melik are still formulating the names of the show as we explore the world of gin. They realize that gin is a polarizing spirit but they encourage you to take a listen to this episode. You'll educate yourself on the spirit and may find a way to enjoy it. Keith talks about his bicycle riding journey that will lead up to him participating in the 2019 DALMAC. The Dick Allen Lansing to MACkinaw Bicycle Tour is Michigan’s annual epic end-of-summer bicycle camping tour which is a summer bicycle camping tour from Lansing to Mackinaw City. What makes gin 'gin', it is juniper. Juniper (Juniperus communis ) is an evergreen shrub found on mountains and heaths throughout Europe, Southwest Asia, and North America. Keith talks about what goes into a "gin basket".  Melik explains why he doesn't like to play a certain game. The British were instrumental in introduce the world to gin. William III of England, aka William of Orange, was sovereign Prince of Orange from birth, Stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders and Overijssel in the Dutch Republic from the 1670s and King of England, Ireland and Scotland from 1689 until his death. There's a story sharing exchange one about suffering through biking, another of how myth is made.  Keith talks about how a gin &amp; tonic is a perfect drink. A tall glass is suggested, fresh ingredients, and try Indian Tonic Water with natural quinine. Or you might want to try a gimlet.  Keith tells a "neat" story. Melik speaks about his recipe "Magdalene" that uses Magellan Gin.  Your feedback and suggestions are important to us. We've tweaked the sound. Let us know if it is helpful for your listening enjoyment.  ---   Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/contemplatingcocktails/message
