A Word from Our Scooter
09/11/2008
That show today was The Best radio show you two have
done, and no disrespect to Stretch, but his overall
best show. Love to take a booze cruz with you if you
ever want to come to BC for a wine/beer tour. Most of
the spirits are done on the East Coast.
-- Scott (Scooter if you want)
The Imbiber replies: The “Scooter option” has to do with an observation I made on the air during my June 13th segment on Maxim Radio (see above) about the inordinate amount of callers with redneck names. In fact, within one 15-minute period, we heard from a Shooter, a Tex and a Cody. Had Hoss called in, all would have been right in the universe. Ah, well, maybe this week. As for booze “cruzes” in Canada… nah! I only go up there for the cheap drugs!
Hi Dan,
I had a really greta pear martini out recently - the menu indicated it was Grey Goose Pear, St Germaine and lemon juice. Can you offer any suggestions for measurements or similar sounding recipes?

The Imbiber replies: The following recipe comes courtesy of Grey Goose’s resident mixologist…
1 1/2 Parts Grey Goose La Poire
3/4 Parts St Germaine Elderflower Cordial
3/4 Part simple syrup
4 wedges of Meyer Lemons or 3/4 oz Fresh Squeezed Lemon
Garnish: Mint Leaves
Glassware: Martini
In the bottom of a cocktail shaker muddle together the Meyer lemons and simple syrup. Add la Poire and Elderflower Cordial. Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosted and beaded with sweat. Strain into martini glass and top with mint leaves.
