Environmentally friendly infused vodka

Doing shots at a BBQ can be quite a environmentally impactful practice. You use a SOLO cup to do a tiny shot then you invariable lose the cup and have to go for another whole cup to drink a minuscule amount of liquor.

Theres a lot of talk these days surrounding infusing things; vodka seems to be a popular thing to infuse. I'm not sure how long vodka has to sit in something before being awarded the title infused; probably longer than 2 seconds.

These two musings plagued me this past saturday. How can one enjoy a finely infused vodka while also remaining environmentally responsible?

Carve a patented infusing cup out of a watermelon slice. Eat the cup. Problem solved –your welcome.

people will for sure look at you and be like 'what is this drunk asshole doing'. A small price to pay for the earth though...

Onions + Potatoes w/ Brats

By brats I mean bratwurst not the kids... Jokes! 

Thin cut white onion sweated in a cast iron skillet, bratwurst goes in, a splash of JD, cooked a little bit on the stove top; finished in the oven (onions should be mushy, like Oscar Meyer mushy).

Fingerling potatoes got cut in half, the brat hardly curt himself: salt, pepper, olive oil, break them down in a pan then finish them in the oven... for crunchiness.

Broccoli Burger

The health benefits of the broccoli for sure cancel out the D-grade beef patty...

Bagel Mâché

Bagel... psych! 

• cardboard egg crate, scotch tape, news paper, glue, flour, sesame seeds

• kids, while not necessary, can make the process more fun.

A.P.B.

A.P.B. = All Points Bulletin = Artichoke, Pine-nuts, Bacon

• Boiled artichoke in better than bouillon, salt, bay leaves.

• Baked bacon in the over: hence bacon (if you pan fry bacon you dont get it).

• Poured bacon fat into artichoke (jammed it full of pecorino romano) baked in the oven for.... 30 minutes at 350°.

• Was gonna toast the pine nuts but didn't.... next time.
