Lovecraft’S Lament,IMBIBE: Damn It, Rosé, It's Sangria! IMBIBE: A Dorm Daze and Spiced Pumpkin Fall. Autumn. The season elicits a specific kind of ambivalent response. The death of summer. Harbinger of winter. That special time when kids go back to school, adults rejoice and college coeds fill red cups and get to learning. Not to mention the ubiquitous pumpkinism, spiced eu pumpkin, pumpkinish, pumpkings, a la pumpkins, etc. Some of us rejoice. Some of us cringe. All of us should grab a beverage to toast or loathe this time of year. Here are a couple such liquids to pour into glasses … or red solo cups. What: A Dorm Daze Go Get: 2 oz Nectarine Bourbon ½ oz Apricot Liqueur 2 dashes Vanilla Bitters 2 dashes Apple Bitters Fresh Apple Slices Make: Pour the bourbon and liqueur over ice and stir. Pour into a coupe (or cup) and dash those bitters. Garnish with a fresh apple slice. Okay, so I had to do it. If you can’t beat the parade of orange gourds, join and drink up. What: Spiced Pumpkin Go Get: 1 oz House-Made Ginger Infused Agave Nectar 1 Tbs Organic Pumpkin Puree 2 oz Kentucky Straight Bourbon Make: Pour the ingredients into a shaker and lightly shake. Strain over ice and garnish with candied ginger. These recipes come courtesy from Joshua Nault, talented bartender over at Besos. Shameless plug for Joshua. Get over to Besos to try his handcrafted Spiced Apple Cider Shrub (flavored with fall spices and fresh apples), Cloved Orange Simple Syrup, Ginger Infused Agave Nectar, and more. *You know why. IMBIBE: Lovecraft’s Lament When in search of refreshment, a fated coupling of spirits and expertise occur, if we’re fortunate enough to notice. This particular cocktail writer found herself in such a state when rummaging for a cocktail in Lovecraft’s favorite (and home) city. Not just any cocktail, but one that thoughtfully acknowledged this long sleeping master of pulp, fear, grizzle and the cosmic. From brief historical review, Lovecraft wasn’t known for a particular drink like other authors of his generation (different genres, but those of rum-bending Hemingway or gin-leaning Fitzgerald). Rather, like his elusive works, Lovecraft drank without notice, if at all. Most of his documented ingestion related to his love of cheese, chocolate and eating frugally. Nevertheless, Providence is his town, this is a cocktail article and for f’s sake, we like to raise our glasses high to one of our beloved sons. Take yourself through a few bars and you may notice a cocktail on the menu to honor Lovecraft’s influence. Like his work, these concoctions are not ubiquitous, but rather wait for the critical seeking eye to realize the genius. One such bar hosted this writer after an exhausted hunt* for such libations. Refreshment found. At the Avery, mixed and described by the magnetic Lori Battaglino, who seeing this writer’s concern for libations a la Lovecraft, aptly shared this jewel of a beverage. What: Lovecraft’s Lament Found Where: The Avery Go Get: 1.5 oz Bols Genever .5 oz St Germain Splash San Pellegrino Aranciata Dash Mint Bitters Float Prosecco Make: Pour the Bols Genever, St. Germain, and San Pellegrino over ice in a shaker, stir. Drain into a martini glass. Dash those bitters and float the Prosecco as you whisper profound strangelings to yourself, gods and monsters. Sip, and enjoy good dreams. * With two lovely and game creatures of the North Midwest IMBIBE: Damn it, Rosé, it’s Sangria! I like wine. I like cocktails. I like cocktails with wine. Especially now that it’s summer, I prefer dumping something delicious into a pitcher and pouring (surreptitiously) near the beach or sharing with friends. Speaking of friends, a friend of mine recently challenged me to bring Sangria to a get-together. Who doesn’t love a good Sangria? But there are lots and lots of bad recipes and crappy pre-made variations out there. And while I love the tiny bits of fruit macerating in booze, I’m also kind of lazy, because — hello summer! — I’d rather be outside than indoors prepping fruit. Sangria hails from Spain and Portugal and was named as such because of its dark red hue akin to, erm, blood. This boozy baby’s popularity has grown and like any popular item, thousands of iterations and variations now exist. Well, here’s one more for the books. I found a bottle of rosé I’d not yet drunk (shocking, really) and thought, why not? Think what you want about rosé, but there’s great rosé wine out there, damn the Californian bastard white zin. Go for a dry, lovely, rosé. Drink it straight while using a second bottle for my little, easy, lazy, sublime summer concoction. Or just give me a bottle. What: Damn it, Rosé, it’s Sangria! Found Where: Your place, or mine Go Get: 2 btls dry rosé ½ c Limoncello (the good stuff) 4 tbsp agave syrup or simple syrup 16 oz strawberries 1 lemon Ice Pitcher Make: Cut up the lemon and strawberries into as equal pieces (small as you can muster). Throw them into your pitcher of choice (in a pinch, a flower vase works great). Pour in the Limoncello, rosé and syrup. Stir. Put in your fridge and try to wait.* Pour over ice in cups and judiciously strain out the fruit. That’s it. Enjoy. And if you don’t, I don’t want to hear about it. *I usually last 5 minutes but if you can wait a few hours, it’s even better. IMBIBE: Simple Summah Cocktails It’s so easy to overdo it. Like when you offer to host a summer barbeque and realize this also means you should have drinks; after creating your bbq sauce from scratch you find yourself muddling mint for 40 drinks … by hand … for two hours. I may have done something like this in the past. Now when I think of summer cocktails, I think of leaving it simple if I’m making them at home. Keep it simple, stupid — yes, KISS cocktails. Here are a few ideas of easy cocktails. Like five or fewer ingredients without the need for belabored concocting … not a lot of muddling, scraping, pounding, boiling, etc., unless you want to make it more complicated, in which case you can only blame yourself. What: Tequila Spritz Why: We’ve all heard of white wine spritzers and skinny margaritas. I’ve been making and ordering this as an alternative to overly sweet margaritas and yawningly boring vodka clubs. Go Get: 1.5 oz Silver Tequila (Espolon or Milagro on my budget, but use whatever you like) 6-8 oz club soda ½ a lime, sliced and squeezed 1-2 slices of orange or tangerine Make: Put ice then the lime slices and lime juice in a highball, pour in the rest of the ingredients and float the slices of orange or tangerine. What: The Classic from Douro Why: This classic beverage hails from Portugal for cooling off on hot summer days. Got Get: 2 oz White Port 4 oz club soda slice of lime Make: Pour over ice in a highball and garnish with the slice of lime. What: Bubble Me Up Why: A take on the super easy and classic champagne cocktail. I like this lots on summer evenings … or mornings. Ahem. Go Get: 4 oz Bubbly* 1 ripe strawberry, mashed or sliced up Orange bitters Mint leaf Optional: ½ oz Hendrick’s or the Botanist Gin Make: Put the strawberry in the bottom of a flute and soak it with the orange bitters (say around five dashes). Add the gin if you’re feeling boozy. Top with chilled bubbly of your choice and garnish with a mint leaf. *Go for a dry style – Brut, and do try a less expensive bubbly like a Cava, Blanquette de Limoux or Bulles. Now, go kiss off already. PVD Roller Derby: Real Women, Real Athletes, Real Pain Okay, okay, okay. Admit it. You read “roller derby” and your mind went, “Tough hot chicks in ripped stuff swirling around I don’t know what’s happening and they’re on skates and they will kill each other while I drink beer and watch.” Fine. I’ll admit it. Roller derby women are hot shit. They’re strong. They make skating look easy. They have cool names. And I didn’t even realize I completely overlooked their athletic prowess until I took the opportunity to meet with a few players of the Providence Roller Derby. Unbeknownst to me, I was a biased asshole, who now reformed, reports to you that, yes, you too, can evolve when you learn more about this SPORT and the REAL WOMEN (and men) involved. Sorry for the yelling caps. Nah, I’m not that sorry. Let’s talk about this SPORT, damnit. Sport “The level of athleticism has really escalated,” shares Cindy Lou Screw, who’s been part of Providence Roller Derby for eight years. “The amount of effort it takes to skate fast and knock someone over is really hard. I’ve fallen in love with the way everyone is passionate about athletics. It’s playing a sport. [Roller Derby is] not a hobby. “ Cindy Lou Screw’s fellow members nod as we sit at a bar sipping beer and snacking after one of their evening practices. There’s the first years, Goldie Glocks and Dita Von Muerta, and the veterans Cindy Lou Screw, Varla Gunz, and Citizen Toxie. Each one of them shared their reasons for joining Providence Roller Derby and for staying in the league.
