Drink Your Carbs: The Drinker's Diet

The Drink Your Carbs Margarita

6/8/2021

We could insist that we invented this cocktail. Everybody else does. In fact, so many people have claimed this particular recipe that we have no idea who to cite. Followers of the Paleolithic Diet refer to it as “The Paleo Margarita.” Atkins, South Beach and Zone have all made claim to it under similar, “-rita” appended names. Mexico refers to it simply as the original Margarita recipe from the time before hotel bartenders sugared it up to make it more palatable to tourists.
​
For the sake of proper citation: The Drink Your Carbs Margarita originated somewhere between two and 10,000 years ago. It probably originated in the Americas, since the agave required to make tequila is a native plant. The most likely scenario is that the drink was invented in Mexico and we stole it without giving them credit, just like we did with Texas.

​Bartender’s Guide to Mixing Unimaginative Drinks

We are not to be trusted. We will lie to you. We will tell you that your outfit matches if we think you are too fragile to hear otherwise. We will tell you how much we enjoyed dinner with your new boyfriend. If we are performing a card trick, we will look you square in the eye and tell you that your card is “lost in the deck,” even though we know exactly where to find it.

We will not, however, lie to you when it matters. You will never hear us say, “You’re guaranteed to double your money” or “To us, that lump looks harmless.” Nor will we try to convince you that cocktails are just as enjoyable under the No Mixer rule. The sad truth is that most cocktails are now off limits.

The Amaro Cocktail

The first time we tasted Amaro was in Florence, Italy more than 20 years ago. Andrea pointed to a strange looking bottle on a high shelf in a small restaurant and asked, “What is that?”

The waiter rolled his eyes, “That is for old Italian men.”

Andrea didn’t miss a beat. “Perfect. We’ll have two served however the old men drink it.”

Our drinks arrived straight up in dessert wine glasses. They were the color of long-neglected motor oil. They tasted like a mishmash of vanilla, caramel, juniper berries, peppermint and Vicks VapoRub. If we believed in past lives we might claim that we were once old Italian men because we fell instantly in love.

​A Love Letter to Perfect Cocktail Ice

8/27/2013

Anthony Arendt is a glaciologist in the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska. His work is part of a new wave of glacial research. By combining cutting-edge technologies, including satellite gravimetry and airborne laser altimetry with old-fashioned drilling for ice core samples, Arendt is changing our understanding of how glaciers work, why they matter and how they are affected by our warming climate.

Arendt’s research often puts him at great personal risk. He was recently stranded on a glacier when his helicopter crashed during a winter storm. Last year, one of Arendt’s colleagues fell 75 feet into a crevasse while snowmobiling across a remote glacier. Forget all of the stereotypes of scientists isolated in underground laboratories. Picture instead the X Games with older athletes, less safety equipment and more math.
​

We didn’t contact Dr. Arendt to discuss climate change or any of his important work. We asked him about cocktail ice.
