"Place, with a trace of humanity" Photography/Photo of the Day/Pittsburgh

Especially for Rufus

After school on Wednesday, I went down to Annex Cookery and the Tin Front Cafe.  I was in the market for a new espresso maker.   I ordered a lunch portion of their four cheese macaroni and a mixed greens salad with balsamic and asiago cheese shavings on top. And what do you know?  As I sat there, I saw the infused vodka on the glass shelf and thought of Blogger Rufus’ Food and Spirits Guide. (AKA Greg)  and here is the wild part- his post today is about Pepper Infused VODKA!

 Horseradish Vodka? (they use it for Bloody Marys) Ellie explained how they make it.

I knew he would not care for the Apple Raisin Infused Rum  (he detests raisins as I’ve read his wife Katherine’s writings about that topic)  but I just thought the line of glass bottles filled with colored spirits and the labels would be of special interest to him.

    What a coincidence! I was a little taken aback by the horseradish-infused vodka until I read how it’s used. Perfect! Now I want a Bloody Mary. I think I’ll settle for a Manhattan and call it a night.

      She did say that the Winter one was likened to drinking a Potpourri Candle by some and others love it!

  3. When I looked at the colorful bottles I thought of the flavors used to pour over snow cones. ( shaved ice ) Yummy. Very colorful photo.

    BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
