Making drinks at home is cool but nothing beats enjoying a beverage expertly crafted by someone that isn't me. I lost my cocktail sanctuary during the pandemic. Thinking @dutchcourageginbar might be a worthy stand-in. RAMOS GIN FIZZ gin, lemon, lime, sugar, orange flower water, cream, egg white, soda water, lime zest (Concocted by Henry C. Ramos in 1888 at the Imperial Cabinet Saloon in New Orleans.) #ginbar #baltimorebar

Gin’s nickname “Dutch Courage” was coined during the Dutch revolt against Spain (1566-1648). When the Brits joined the Dutch on the battlefield they took to taking sips of gin for a little “Dutch Courage”. Edmund Waller, English poet and politician, referenced the practice in poem “Instructions to a Painter”:⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 𝘖𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘤𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘩𝘶𝘴 𝘤𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘯,⁣ ⁣𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯.⁣ ⁣𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘶𝘵𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘯𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘦,⁣ ⁣𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘢𝘳𝘮'𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘸𝘴;⁣ ⁣𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘥 𝘌𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘩, 𝘵𝘰 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘪𝘭,⁣ ⁣𝘐𝘯 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘬 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘪𝘭.⁣ ⁣⁣ This next recipe may not be what the English, or the Dutch, had in mind.
