word Limits

twenty-four magazine page 18

w: 100

Writers have always had to

deal with word limits, but today

such limits are becoming an

almost instinctive component omodern communication. Tweets

and text messages are limited

to 140 characters, and we are

learning to ration not just our

words but also our letters.

Limits change both the way

we talk and the way we think.

The need to ft an idea into a

defned space shapes our per-

ceptions and conclusions. There

is only so much complexity thatcan ft into 100 words. In this

issue o twenty-four magazine, I

am exploring the reedom ound

in those boundaries.

Lets now play with the limitation

you have in ront o you. Ive assumeally limited pantry o non-spirit ingre

but fgured a citrus ruit or two and

condiments might exist. My addition

to mysel is that none o these drin

repeat an ingredient rom your liquo

net.

Cocktail One

2 oz Absolut Boston vodka

1 oz lime juice

3/4 oz St. Germain

1/4 oz Chambord

To build the drink, fll an Old Fashioned glass with crushed ice.

Shake together the vodka, lemon, and St. Germain or 10 seconds and pour into

the Old Fashioned over the ice. It still looks virginal, as i you were just having a bit

o soda water on ice, but to make sure people know how hard you worked, drizzle

the Chambord down the center o the glass rom a jigger, so they see the blood and

love that went into the drink.

Serve with a straw or stirring in the Chambord (otherwise it will eventually settle

to the bottom o the glass).

This plays with the original Gin Bramble, keeping the construction and propor-

tions, but changing ingredients.

Cocktail Two

1 oz brandy

2 oz Cold River gin

1/2 oz lemon juice

2 dashes Scrappys chocolate bitters

Zest an entire orange into the brandy & let itsit for about 15-20 minutes.

To build the drink, run some orange juice

over the rim of your cocktail glass and sugar

the rim.

Strain the brandy into a mixing tin and add

all the ingredients but the bitters. Shake for

10 seconds, then strain into the sugared

glass and top with the bitters.

This is based on the Pegu Club, but takes

some liberties with how you get the right

favors into the drink.

Cocktail Three

2 oz Hudson Bay bourbon

1/2 oz Frangelico

3/4 oz someone elses coffee

Rinse of Cabo Wabo Reposado teq

a few drops needed)

To build the drink, rinse a cock

with the tequila (pull a Julia Child

drink the dregs of the tequila whil

your drink).

In a mixing glass, combine the

Frangelico, and coffee. Fill the gice and stir for 30 seconds. Strain

cocktail glass and garnish with a

someone elses torn-up manuscrip

This one should taste sort o like a

ing ater: a bit smoky, a bit sweet,

than a little bitter.
