Enjoying @MaryRobinette’s The Spare Man, a riff on The Thin Man in space, where each chapter has its own cocktail. About to start Aviation, cheers!

BTW, this Hinterhaus gin is amazing! It’s made in a small distillery in Arnold CA with botanicals native to the Sierra Nevada

About to start Orbital Decay. We don’t have any Islay Whisky at the moment so I substituted a nice smokey Mezcal. I also had to sub Campari for Aperol, reducing the amount by about half. We’ll call it a Suborbital Decay, and it’s delicious, cheers! #TheSpareMan

Continuing to drink/read my way through @MaryRobinette’s The Spare Man. Started Scofflaw last night, but didn’t have any Grenadine. Picked some up today, cheers! (and happy Halloween)

Finished @MaryRobinette’s The Spare Man last night and really enjoyed it! I’m now of the opinion that more books should include cocktail pairings ;-)

No new drink to share, but here’s one that got buried in a sub-thread

@KwanTi @MaryRobinette Took your advice on the Luxardo substitution and super happy with how it turned out. Ready to start Remember the Maine, cheers!
