 Party to Benefit Old Trail Town
Join us Sept. 11 for
Wine, Whiskey & Song
Juniper Wine & Spirits is teaming up with our friends at Old Trail Town to
present Wine,
Whiskey & Song, a unique event that combines great
live music, fine red and white wines and premium Scotches, bourbons and
other whiskeys.
Enjoy a delicious pulled pork barbecue meal with all the fixings, a
full selection of craft and microbrew
beers, dancing to the bluegrass sounds of the Ramblin' Laurels and a
live auction of singular and unique items from local artisans and
merchants.
Besides a great party, it's for a great cause: the preservation and
improvement of Old Trail Town, one of Cody's most cherished spots and a
historic and cultural treasure.
A limited number of
tickets are available now for $35 at Juniper, Old Trail Town and
Pinnacle Bank branches, so hurry. This
special party is likely to sell out fast. Visit winewhiskeysong.com for more
info.
 Hair
of the Dog — Hangover Helpers
Cures for what ails you during
August, the dog days of summer
August is the eighth month, renamed by the Romans to honor their
emperor,
Gaius Julius Caesar
Augustus. It is the height of summer in the Northern
Hemisphere's temperate zone, and the longest days of the year have
passed. (But the hot days remain.) In Roman times, Aug. 24 was usually
the last of the "dies caniculares," or dog days, named for the
appearance of Sirius, the "dog star,"
brightest of the stars in the constellation Canis Major, or greater
dog.
There was a popular 17th-century Scottish folk remedy for rabies, of
course, that involved the "hair of
the dog," or placing hair from the dog that bit you into the wound
to ward off or cure rabies. (Here's a tip: it doesn't work.) The phrase
came to be used as a reference for
hangover cures that involve alcohol.
Send us your favorite hangover cure (non-alcoholic or hairy-dogged),
and we'll pick the best one to share with readers (anonymously or, if
you prefer, with credit). If we use your hangover cure, you'll win a
stylish Korbel tote bag -- perfect for carrying several champagne
bottles at once.
In the meantime, we suggest waiting until after the current salmonella-related
egg recall to try the popular "red eye" cure: 2 oz. whiskey, 4 oz.
coffee, dash of Tobasco hot sauce, pepper, orange juice and a raw egg,
well-blended. Yum! Send your hangover
cures to info@juniperevent.com.
August Spirits
Special
Lillet Bordeaux Blanc - $15.26
Lillet is often overlooked as a great cocktail ingredient. While
technically, it may not be considered a vermouth, like a vermouth it is
an aromatized and fortified wine. There are a variety of fruits, herbs
and spices that make up the proprietary recipe for Lillet. One of those spices is
quinine, the same ingredient found in tonic water, and this gives an
ever-so-slight bitterness to the product. Created in the late
1800s, it's a wonderful appertif or light summer refresher.
The rounded bouquet features tropical fruit notes of banana and guava,
and smells of ripe grapes, kiwi and a subtle spiciness.The palate entry
is luscious, gently fruity and keenly acidic. The finish is ripe,
delicately spiced and delicious.
 Enjoy Lillet chilled or on the
rocks. Add a little club soda and sliced lemon, lime, orange or
fresh berries for a refreshing summer sparkler. Or try our recipe for a
Lillet Fizz:
1 1/2 oz. Lillet
1/2 oz. maraschino cherry juice or grenadine
4 oz. fresh orange juice
2 oz. soda water
Stir, garnish with sliced oranges, cherries or berries and serve in a
highball glass with ice. Try the
light, fresh taste of Lillet, on sale this month only for $15.26.
