...New Years...Eve? What indeed? Feel free to pass along your pre or post party specs in the comments section.
For my own year-end festivities, I'll be spending it (and the four days what follow) 'down the shore as we so stereotypically say here in 'Jersey. Specifically Ocean City, NJ. In a lovely guest house, behind a well-stocked bar, with a semi-rotating cast of forty-odd good friends of the SCA persuasion...
I've been laying down all manner of syrups for the past three days - everything from fresh batches of my usual standbys (Simple syrup(s), Hibiscus Grenadine, Cardamom 'Ale, Jamaica, Orgeat &c.) to new experiments in variation (Pistachio Orgeat; 3:1 Jaggery, Bird's Eye Chili-Tamarind, Gomme syrups, etc.). I've bottled up a batch of Ginger Ale soda syrup, a Tangerine-spiked twist on Jeffrey Morgenthaler's Tonic syrup, a wintertime variation on Kaiserpenguin's latest Falernum and a few other goodies. Liquor's all procured & packed, gear and glassware is cleaned and packed. Produce gets bought in the morning and...I'm off. I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch of stuff...
Anyway, I'll be sure to post some highlights of the event here as I'm able - hopefully a video or three.
Cheers & Happy New Years!

spent the night/early morning at CL's...till ~3...then walked across the street to my hotel room at the Heldridge.
Sounds like a rockin' good time Rob! Haven't been into CL's since the last time I met up with you guys there - I'll have to remedy that posthaste.
Happy New Years!
