I´ve been hooked on margaritas lately. With freshly squeezed lemon or lime and mandarin juice. So, it´s pretty healthy!

My quarantine drinking routine has solidified.
Friday: 2ish drinks. e.g., a bottle of wine split with the wife (usually a pinot, merlot or cab), o r a couple of beers
Saturday: one super nice drink. Last few weeks its been lagavulin.Other than that I'm exclusively water, coffee and sparkling water.
Does anyone else get excited by the thought of coffee in the morning just before going to sleep?

Gin and tonic is one of my favourite things in the world, to the point where I don't buy gin.
Tomorrow, I'm buying gin.

I like the Tanqueray, too. I have no idea how to spell it, but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying it. Hendricks is okay, but too expensive given that I don't think it's great.
Another I like is Prairie Organic gin. It's a Phillips product made from Minnesoooooota organic corn.
It's nice in a G&T. It's also quite affordable, which is rather scary. -

Yep. I just hope I don’t run out of CO2 anytime soon.
I've been going to Target and Best Buy to refill my bottles. Costs about $17.00 for a refill.
I found a company called SodaSense that refills them via a Netflix DVD model - they send you two bottles, and when you need more, they send another couple, you mail back the empties. Costs about $20 a bottle.
I'm getting my first shipment today.

I finally had two bottles empty that needed to be shipped out. I put them in the (supplied) box, attached the pre-printed label, and took it to the post office on Monday.
Two refilled bottles arrived via FedEx today. Total cost is, indeed, higher than going to Target, Best Buy or Kohls. (about $6 a bottle more, including shipping). But the hassle factor was zero, and service was fast. Considering I don't need to drive anywhere, stand in line, waiting, only to be told that they're out of stock, it's worth it.

I had a couple light pale ales Sunday. Other than that I've been dry. My current favorite beer is from my favorite brewery, Deschutes. It's their light hazy pale ale. 4% alcohol, 100 calories, 4g carbs, full flavor. Delicious. Pretty good deal considering my other favorite is their Fresh Squeezed IPA at 192 calories.

Stumbled onto another great liquored dessert combo:
- AiYu jelly with Manischewitz concord grape wine.
