After a long hiatus, the Brandy Swizzle

Take the juice of one lime, a teaspoon of powdered sugar and two ounces of club soda and pour them into a Collins glass. Fill the glass with ice and stir. Add two ounces of bitters and two dashes of brandy. Fill with club soda and serve with a swizzle stick. Note: for our purposes this evening we are using "Carlsberg pint glass" as a stand-in for a common Collins glass.

While Crooney mixes this latest libation, allow me to apologize for the lapse since our last post. Apparently we forgot that occasionally it is fun to drink beverages not on the Mr. Boston list. We got so carried away drinking craft beers and champagne that it was only a stern reprimand from a few of our loyal followers that brought us back to the land of brandy (blandy?).

He says this drink is "quite tasty." It has the appearance of every other drink in this chapter. That said, it tastes remarkably better. As I have long suspected, bitter(s) make(s) everything better. This is one I'll make (and enjoy) again.
