From the bartender’s corner – Rangpur Chill
Last week, when I was in Portland, I went back to East India Co and made friends with Cain at the bar there. After letting him know that I loved the Tamarind Ginger Tantra – which was his favorite drink, I asked for his second favorite. Went with the Rangpur Chill.
This is Rangpur Chill with a slight variation. It has Tanqueray Rangpur gin, muddled Indian chillies, cucumber and sweet and sour. Additionally, I threw in a little of UV’s Sriracha Vodka to have a heightened smell of spice without making the drink too spicy. Rangpur is an area in Bangladesh which is famous for its limes. (actually tastes like limes but more orange-y in color). The gin is infused with it.

Somebody has a sense of humor!!
This is the first thing to hit us as two of my colleagues and myself walked into a winery half an hour away from Portland after all our meetings yesterday. I startled my friends – Anand and Mark – and all the people around with my loud laughter.
That is an amazingly great pun with a perfect sense of location!! And I am such a sucker for puns!!

Half marathon!
Two weeks back, after posting 10K everyday for 7 days, my quads, IT bands and the right knee was a mess. To give them some rest, I stayed off the running trail for a whole week. Went back to the trail this afternoon hoping to put in a short run to test out how the recovery has been. And while those unsuspecting muscles and joints were not watching, quietly put in a half marathon in 2 hours and 10 minutes. I am pretty sure I am going to pay for this tonight 🙂

From the bartender’s corner – Tamarind Ginger Tantra
Inspired by the drink made in East India Co bar in Portland that I wrote of this week. As reported before, this has tamarind (I used paste), ginger, date, vodka and peach schnapps. Note that the bar had used ginger infused vodka. I used fresh ginger to get a better flavor.
The taste came out pretty good.
