Saffron Rasayana for the Weary

Are you weary? Stressed? In need of some relaxation? I have a rasayana for you – saffron in milk with honey and ghee. Always use less honey than ghee in the recipe. Amazingly, this drink relaxes and destresses. You feel your breath ease and deepen and worries vanish.

The art and science of #rasayana is about lengthening the lifespan, and individual rasayana recipes can be considered as tonics or something that enhances well being. Rasayanas not only include food but behaviours and practices.

When Kris and I were in Evora last year, the hotel restaurant offered a serving of their local potable, a cordial called poejo made from pennyroyal, which was new to me. It struck me as being similar in spirit to Creme de Violette, which is in one of my favorite cocktails, so used it to mix this up: 1.5oz Hendricks Amazonia gin, 0.5oz Luxardo Maraschino, 0.5oz lemon juice, and 0.5oz of the poejo.

Let's call it an "Aviação"

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is the aged #Daiquiri

60ml Havana Club 7y
15ml lime juice
10ml simple sirup

Shake&fineStrain in a chilled coupe and garnish with a lime wheel.

I love rum (any kind), I love Daiquiri, this one is so different from the classic one with unaged rum that is in a league of its own.
Highly recommend!

I'm going up the George today.

For those of you not from Portsmouth, 'going up the George' is not a dodgy euphemism but rather walking up Portsdown Hill to one of the best old pubs in the area.

Having a couple of drinks with a work colleague.
