July 4th

            I probably don’t need to review the history of Independence Day.  Pretty self-explanatory.  So, what to discuss this week?  Some great ideas for your 4^th of July party!!!

Anchor Liberty Ale – First introduced in 1975, this beer is made with top-fermenting yeasts and possesses Champagne-like bubbles.  Carmel and citrus flavors with a hint of bitterness.

Rogue American Amber Ale - Tawny in color, with a coffee aroma, tight head and a delicate roasted malt accent. Generous use of hops and a smooth finish.

Angioletta Moscato – This Moscato or Muscat wine is perfect for the heat of the 4^th and is under $9 per bottle.  Nice citrus and sweetness and very refreshing on what we hope is a hot day – enough rain already.

Now for some mixed drinks:

Fire Crackers

   1 1/2 oz Tequila – ask us for a suggestion.
    Cracked ice
    Tonic water
    Lime wedge
 
Pour tequila over the ice in a highball glass. Fill with tonic. Stir and garnish with lime wedge

Star Spangled Jello Shooters

      4 c  Package Jello
      2 c  Boiling water
      2 c  Liquor – you may use grain alcohol like Everclear or vodka.

Dissolve the Jello in the boiling water and let it cool. Add the liquor. Pour about 1/8 to 1/4 cup into little paper or plastic cups (we have plastic) and chill. Squeeze the whole cupful into your mouth.

Skip and Go Naked

Fill a tall glass with ice.  Add 2oz. Gin (maybe New Amsterdam or Seagrams).  Fill with Orange Juice or Sour Mix leaving ½ inch on top.  Float Beer on top.  Garnish with Orange.

Maker’s Mark Bourbon Dogs

1 package of Lil Smokies
1 small onion chopped
1 cup Catsup
1/4 cup Makers Mark
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1/4 cup Water

In a saucepan, heat all ingredients except Smokies.  When boiling, add Smokies.  Let cook 15-20 minutes.

            Once more, out of space, so it is time to stop.  Everyone have a happy and safe 4^th of July and stop in to see us for all your party needs.  Cheers!!!
