01/21/10: J-E-T-S-!

As a matter of some explanation; the reason I disappeared from Cyberspace some months ago was motivated by two factors. The first was the Yankees 27th World Series run. The second was that it is really hard to get back to something when you get out of a rhythm; like going to the gym or dieting.

With the NY Jets one win from their first Super Bowl in over 40 years I offer this cocktail as an homage and good luck to my other favorite sports team. The nice thing about football is that it consumes far less time than Baseball.

Gang Green:

-1oz. Chartreuse Verte
-1oz. Pernod
-1/2oz Maraschino
-1/2oz. Dry Vermouth
-2 oz. Seltzer
-Peychaud Bitters

Combine ingredients, except seltzer, in a shaker over ice and strain into an ice filled high-ball glass. Top with seltzer and Peychaud Bitters. Garnish with a sprig of rosemary.
