I celebrated a birthday last month and my girlfriend gifted me a subscription to Shaker & Spoon, which is basically like a Birchbox type of deal that sends you a bunch of cocktail ingredients/recipes for the month and all you need to do is pick up the liquor that the drinks are based around. This month was tequila and the first drink I tried was, to put it eloquently, fire flames. Not only did the recipe include some spicy poblano-agave syrup, but it also had celery soda in it??? Long story short, celery soda slaps.

because i shouldn't have to pay $17 for a fun little drink, but i still want an elevated drinking experience. this weekend i made fresh ginger syrup and it was so good. liquor + sweet + acid + liqueur is the best formula

It’s about time you jump into the world of savory drinks, especially now that’s it’s winter (ish, at least)! [This recipe](https://www.diffordsguide.com/cocktails/recipe/2616/bull-shot) can get you started- I personally like a dash of horseradish in it myself too! Shake it up, serve, picture yourself at the bottom of a ski run by a fire pit, and enjoy!

here is what I like to drink, any kind of semi nice or cocktail focused bar should have these ingredients on hand
my favorite with gin: the last word - gin, maraschino, chartreuse, lime, a cherry garnish
with rum: jungle bird - rum, Campari, pineapple, lime, simple syrup, pineapple to garnish
with tequila: matador - tequila, dry vermouth, orange curaçao, grapefruit peel oils squeezed on top

Art is cool but art is also expensive. If you’re like me and have a growing interest in it, but don’t quite have the funds to pursue said interest, check this out. Absolut partners with contemporary artists and photographers to bring more affordable limited-run prints to people who aren’t necessarily wealthy collectors. It’s still an investment, but much more manageable. I got a Shantell Martin print recently and to thank me, she sent a free, signed art book along with it.

Finding the right throw blanket is a gabillion times harder than you might expect. And if you’re like me and have over-indexed on neutral/muted colors while designing your space, they’re likely the last chance you’re going to get to add a much-needed pop of color before things start to look like a weird, dystopian, minimalist sci-fi movie (that actually sounds kind of sick now that I type it out though). Luckily, I found this bright mustard blanket with a simple but cool design on it to liven up the place. it also comes in terracotta and blue if that’s your thing.

Really worthwhile watch. I don’t know that I’ve ever encountered a piece of media that represents Muslim Millenials in such a focused and beautiful way. The writing/dialogue/characters are brilliant, and not to mention the episodes are short. It’s similar in a lot of ways to shows like Shrill, Atlanta, and Master of None, but manages to still stand out as its own, unique, fresh thing.
