Greybeard Eldridge & His Merry Band of Misfits Sweep the Cardinals

We got one! A real one! Our celebrants rejoice over the first genuine three game sweep of the season: Then they dive deeper into the great play of Bryce Eldridge.

On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a I Forgoto while Matthew is drinking a Bloody Cardinal. Recipes below.

I Forgoto

• Two small scoops Vanilla Ice Cream
• 1 shot Espresso
• 3/4 oz Over proof rum
• Add the ice cream to a coffee mug or small bowl. Pour the espresso over the ice cream followed by the rum. Eat with a spoon. Or chug it. Whatever.

Bloody Cardinal

• 2 oz vodka
• 4 oz Clamato
• 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
• 2 1/2 tsp prepared horseradish
• 2 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2–3 dashes Tabasco or another vinegar-forward hot sauce
• 1/4 tsp celery salt
• 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• Small pinch smoked paprika
• Optional: 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard
• Optional: 1 tsp pickle brine for a little extra savory bite
• Add everything to a shaker or mixing glass with ice. Instead of shaking, roll it back and forth between two glasses or shaker tins about 5 or 6 times to get it cold without beating too much air into the tomato juice. Pour over fresh ice in a tall glass. A celery-salt rim is great, or do half celery salt / half Tajín if you want a little more personality. Garnish with lemon slices or celery stalk. A tajin or celery-salted rim is also appropriate.
