  • Pomegranate Juice

    4-5% acidity 

    Bottled pomegranate juice is widely available in supermarkets.  The acidity in bottled products will be significantly lower than in fresh-pressed juices.   Pomegranate tases citrusy with a neutrality in its sweetness and acidity (as acidic as a lemon, but as sweet as apple juice.  This make pomegranate a nice mixer where you want a citrus like flavor without increasing acidity or sweetness. 

  • Sloe Gin

    Country: United States 

    ABV:  52 proof/46% 

    Brand: DeKuyper/Fortune Brands 

    Spirits Type: Liqueurs/Cordials/Schnapps

    Sloe Gin is made by macerating sloe berries/blackthorn drupes with a dry gin and sugar.  After macerating for sometime, it is filtered and a sugar syrup and water are added to balance flavor and alcohol content.  DeKuyper Sloe Gin has a plummy sweetness with a slight dust and is sweeter than other sloe gins.  There are also light citrus and bright undertones. 

  • Black Pepper Syrup

    Black Pepper Syrup is a great way to add a pre-balanced spice to a cocktail.  Easily made with peppercorns, water and cane sugar, it captures the mellow spice and savory dustiness in that you recognize in the upper part of your palate.  

    1 Tbs (10g) Black Peppercorns 

    8 oz (240mL) Filtered Water 

    .5 Cup Granulated Cane Sugar 

    In a saucepan, combine 1 Tbs of Black Peppercorns and 8 oz of water over medium heat.  Allow to come to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes.  Strain out the black peppercorns and while still hot, over simmering heat stir in the sugar until dissolved.  Allow to cool to room temperature and pour into a syrup bottle.

  • Salt/Saline

    Salt/Saline is a great flavor booster.  It can balance sweetness and bitterness, smoothing out a cocktail.  It can also enhance citrus flavor and acidity without the need for more acid. 

    A pinch of salt can be added to the cocktail, but for consistency, saline is easy to make and allows more control.  

    To Make It:  

    2 oz (60mL) Distilled or Purified Water 

    1 Tbsp (15g) Fine Sea Salt 

    Combine in a jar and shake vigorously.  Once salt is dissolved, pour into a dropper bottle. 

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Tonight, a look back at a San Diego television newsroom in the 1970s, where one local celebrity's carefully constructed empire is shaken by the arrival of a talented journalist determined to be taken seriously. Ron Burgundy, the city's dominant anchorman, finds himself at the center of a cultural shift as changing expectations in the workplace collide with old habits, oversized egos, and an astonishing lack of self-awareness. What begins as a rivalry over ratings grows into a broader story about ambition, loyalty, and an industry learning that the face of broadcast journalism is changing. Along the way, viewers witness questionable editorial decisions, personal scandals, and one highly unusual confrontation involving nearly every news team in the region. In the end, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy uses absurd comedy to examine a very real transition in American media, where the biggest story was often happening inside the newsroom itself.
