Twins at Astros, August 5, 2021

Well that fizzled.

I’m feeling stupid. Is El Presidente a cigar? a rum? a cocktail?

Cocktail. 1.5 oz of light rum, 3/4 oz of blanc vermouth, 1/4 oz of orange curaƧao, one bar spoon of grenadine. Stirred over ice, served in a chilled glass with an orange twist.

It’s basically a Cuban version of a Manhattan.

On your recommendation, I’ll try one. Never shaken?

I wouldn’t shake it. But I’m not a hillbilly.

Garcia on for Framber.

It’s quite good. ā€œSpirit forwardā€, as they say.

Shaking a cocktail may be better than handling snakes. I’ll think about it.

Like any spirit forward cocktail, you want to chill it, not aerate it. Save the shaking for margaritas and mai tais.

Twins on the corners, two down…

But a cigar sounds pretty good right now.

At the Stretch…4-1 Twins

Nice challenge.

Nine outs left; need three runs.

Garcia’s slider has a lot of horizontal movement.

This is exactly how I’m rolling. Love it.

First pitch from Javier is lined for a double.

Sawed off Sano’s bat.
