This is the NO DELI drink diary,
wherein I struggle to document all of my beverage adventures,
keep my ænglish skillƶ intact, and unlearn basic HTML.

Sarıkız Sourcherry – “aromalı mineralli gazlı içecek”
A typically untimely follow-up to this post – on that occasion we not only tried the «Nar», we not only tried the «Sourcherry», but we mixed the «Nar» and the «Sourcherry». Those were the days, my friend! When we still knew how to live!
Oatly. It’s oat milk – made from oats. Called Oatly!
For future reference:
If you ever need to pick up the last-minute gift of rum within walking distance of a major university…
Bière d’épinette à l’ancienne.
It’s sorta preposterous the lengths I will go to, favors I will call in, international customs regulations I will break, etc. just to maintain the scantiest sense of personal tradition. Surely someone qualified could draw some sort of insightful conclusions from this.
But while we wait: SPRUCE BEER FLOATS.
Noh cup noh bruck, noh cawfi noh trow weh.
I see that Grace, Kennedy & Co., Ltd. has re-branded their soda line. I can’t say I like the look – and certainly the ‘pineapple drink’ hasn’t the rep of Ting (alas, owned by Pepsi). What this bottle does offer, however, is advice. Under the cap:
Actually, no mikkle sticks round here long enough to mek a mukkle. Be that as it may, GraceCo. gets a lot of things right with this promotion: a page more-or-less correctly describing Jamaican Creole (aka ‘Patois’), and a useful list of irritating, sage expressions- with translations and audio clips!
紅茶キノコ
The Occidental kombucha kraze being safely over, I can now express my (recently-acquired) conviction that you can’t find a better vinegary breakfast cereal. Anyway, I’m obliged to support any beverage you can manufacture in a small closet. And by “you” I mean you, i.e. not me.
Thanks to: Leonard, Ann, Black Cat.
Assholocracy
“Assholocracy”. There. I said it. But this is silly – simply pointing out the obvious with a novel coinage. Like renaming the sky “the up”. We already know it’s up, by definition!
Repurposed bottles, exhibits C & D:
Guangzhou, China – villagers try to stop demolition with Molotov cocktails, broken bottles, and propane tanks.
Soldatenkaffee
“samovar party”
A southern tradition! Which doubly appealed today, since bottomless black tea remedied the earlier mistake of expecting this liquid horsefeathers to work, or to even taste decent.
