Tabard

Tabard

We’re huge fans of every drink mixologist Chantal Tseng comes up with, and the Tabard – developed for Washington D.C.’s Tabard Inn – is no exception.

Tseng’s drinks tend to focus on unexpected flavor combinations, and often include sherry – an underappreciated ingredient that’s just starting to gain traction in mixological circles.

Oaky aged tequila and sweet, smoky Drambuie don’t seem to have much in common, but the sherry smoothes over any rough edges and the result is eminently quaffable.

Tseng uses Amontillado sherry, a medium-colored dry aged variety characterized by nutty, faintly-salty flavors.

This app ROCKS!!!

I've used a number of mix drink apps, and this one is by FAR the BEST! I've made a couple dozen drinks so far, and they're delicious. It suits my quality wants while (more importantly) suiting my inherent laziness. You put in what you have on hand, and it automatically lists all the drinks you can make! There's info on all the ingredients, which is pretty neat to learn some backstory. What I truly like is I can click an ingredient and it shows how many more drinks I can make. It's pretty fun picking up a new item and seeing 8 new drinks to try. There's a setting on the iPad that locks the app on so people can switch on the mixing app without letting anyone out of it, so I leave it by the bar and people can use it without worry of people snooping around. ;) The combination of all the drinks and this app that makes searching for, and making a drink, easy peezy lemon squeezey, and gives a real feeling of sophistication.
