I like mixology
Some pictures of the drinks i’ve made, in the last years.
Most are in my notebook, i can perfect the drink now individually for a person.
I really have to put the names of the drinks on this page.
(And the tasting notes!)
Update (2022) Something i’ve been doing for years now.
Making skittle vodka.
If i remember it well, is was a students solution to get a cheap ‘fancy’ drink. Vodka is cheap, and skittles or other candy was easily obtainable.
Buy a bottle of vodka, not too cheap, but certainly not a pricy one.
Get some bag’s of kittles. (does are mixed so you have to sort them by color/taste)
Take some small bottles and fill them each with a skittle color, and fill the rest of the bottle with Vodka.
Now we wait from the skittles to dissolve completely.
Strain the dissolved foamy mixture using a paper kitchentowel into another bottle.
( i have 6 bottles, 5 for each color skittle and one to transfer one to the other )
Sometimes i’ll do it a second time, to get a clearer result.
Ready to drink
Most of the times, i take a longdrink glass, pour some skittle vodka in it add ice and fill the rest with 7-UP.
I love making cocktails for my ladies, but for the occasional drink, now for a cocktail night.
See my other post about my cocktail bar in another post.
30th Juli I’m entertaining Arja, Coline and Monique by serving cocktails.
So i made a little list of cocktails to choose from.
I say choose, i could not have guessed i’d have to make them all!
So i made a little generator
Using a blank template png and a bash script i generated above.
#!/bin/bash cp cocklist-leeg.png 1.png xstart=450 ystart=300 xspace=30 yspace=40 # deze straks uitrekenen nextitem=170 nextrow=550 ls drinks | sort -n | grep -v totallist | while read drink; do if [ $(echo $drink | cut -c-2 ) -gt 90 ] then color="#ffcc00" else color="#ff7406" fi convert -font Impact.ttf -fill "$color" -pointsize 43 -annotate +$xstart+$ystart "$(echo $drink | cut -c3- )" 1.png 2.png echo $drink xstart2=$[$xstart + $xspace] ystart2=$[$ystart + $yspace] convert -font Trebuchet_MS_Bold_Italic.ttf -fill black -pointsize 30 -annotate +$xstart2+$ystart2 "$(cat "drinks/$drink")" 2.png 3.png cp 3.png 1.png echo -n " " echo $(cat "drinks/$drink") lines=$[ $(cat "drinks/$drink"|wc -l) * 36 ] lines=$[lines + 65] ystart=$[$ystart + $lines] if [ $ystart -gt 1900 ] ; then ystart=300 ; xstart=$[$xstart + $nextrow] fi done cp 3.png cocktailist.png
