Frajil Spirits

“I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.”

—Frank Sinatra {1915-1998}

wine, spirits, and everyday life

I love spirits, wine, and the fine art of mixing drinks.
FRAJIL SPIRITS is an ongoing conversation I’ve been having for over 50 years!  Whether behind the bar, or front of the house, my goal has always been to respect the past while making things new. Salut!

Happy New Year!

It has been an incredibly busy year and I wanted to share just a few of the highlights from fall as it has quickly turned into winter. 

While scrolling through the many blogs and websites I follow to see what’s happening in the industry, there was a post that caught my eye. . . hmmm. . . THRILLIST: the Best Whiskey Bar In Every State. I scrolled down to Massachusetts and there was the Last Hurrah! Very hard not to feel proud!

My wife, who is an illustrator, was recently interviewed for the Sketchbook Skool Blog {you can read the whole interview here} 

She was talking about how I distracted her from working by bringing her a cocktail. They asked for the recipe. See below!

But more than anything, we would like to wish you a very happy and healthy 2019. Thank you for spending this time with me.

Happy Labor Day & Summer Rain!

Inspired by the excessive rains in August, “Summer Rain” is the antidote to any summer blues. It is refreshing and light.  Definitely worth the effort to track down the Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic, as it provides the nuance that makes this drink unique. It’s a wonderful cocktail to celebrate summer’s end.

  • 1 oz Sipsmith Gin
  • ½ oz Rhubarb Shrub {see earlier post on shrubs}
  • Fever Tree Elderflower Tonic

In a hi-ball glass filled with ice, add the gin and rhubarb shrub. Top with tonic and garnish with a lemon peel.
