Media: Newspaper
Title: Wall Street Journal
The weekend edition of the Wall Street Journal is near the top of my weekly media experiences, for two reasons in particular. One, Joe Morgenstern’s essays on film and two, Eric Felten’s cocktail article. I keep a scrap book of the most useful cocktail articles from Felten’s How’s Your Drink? column. His column provides interesting drink history, point to books, films and other media where the drink plays a prominent role, and most importantly he tells you how to make the cocktail. For me it is a near perfect column, providing the exact right mix of intellectual curiosity and alcoholic usefulness – call in nerdy debauchery. This week’s article discusses how to create your own cocktail:
“Pick a distilled spirit you like and add 1½ ounces of it. . . Add a half ounce of an aromatic or fortified wine . . . Finish it off with a quarter ounce of a liqueur of your choice.” (Felten)
I took this advice and I am drinking my liquor-ish creation as I write. Ahhh!
