Temporarily Stairs

Sorry for the convenience
Me in a Nutshell
This is a cross-section of my particular flavor of nerderia, heavy on Katamari Damacy, Mario, and Perler beads. Who am I kidding? It's mostly reblogs of awesome stuff, including cats, owls, and unicorns, with a smattering of original content and some interesting commentary on the reblogs. I do, wild as it sounds, actually try to make friends (not just followers) on here.

Homemade Coffee Liqueur

“2 cups hot water
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon instant coffee
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 cups vodka
1/2 cup good brandy

In a pan on low to medium heat combine sugar, coffee, vanilla and water. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside until completely cool then add vodka and brandy. Be sure it is completely cool or some of the alcohol WILL evaporate. Funnel into bottles and let set for six weeks.”

Found on Pinterest with this source. (It’s listed there as a homemade Kahlua recipe, but there are many other brands of coffee liqueur, so I’ve renamed it here.)

I’d have to run some numbers, but I have my doubts as to whether this would be cheaper than just buying a coffee liqueur (even Kahlua itself, and especially one without a famous name). And because it specifically says it’s a recipe for Kahlua, which is rum-based, I find the use of brandy puzzling. But, I’m saving the recipe anyway, because I’ll probably try it at least once.

Tumblers on Tumblr!!!!

The Avengers cups were probably not made with the intent of being used in adult beverages, but we are totally using them for adult beverages!

And for non comic book folk who have only seen the amazing movie, Spiderman is totally an Avenger…at times….when he is not being a dick.

You forgot to mention the blue canary in the outlet by the light switch who watches over you.

“The Last Unicorn”

bakester:

gin

lavender simple syrup (directions here)

lemon

ice

2 oz gin

1 oz lavender syrup

shake well with ice, strain into martini glass

splash lemon juice on top

garnish with lemon twist

This is a drink I created at the restaurant I did my culinary school internship at. Turned out to be a hit: it has a gorgeous lavender color and is an aromatic, floral change from fruity drinks. Perfect for summer!
