Seen on IG anatomyofadrink channel. He took the Sandia recipe, created in 2016 by David Valdez at Simbal (Little Tokyo, Los Angeles; now closed), and turned it into a highball by adding soda water. I batched this up and served it at a garden party today — it was gone quickly!

Some lime mortar building history.
Lime mortar takes a long time to dry and cure. Up to two years for a whole building. During that time it absorbs CO2 and releases moisture. But only if it is warm enough.
It was beneficial to have some residents in a new building who would heat it and ventilate it and breathe out some CO2 (probably not a huge factor, but this was the belief at the time).
But since it was very moist and unpleasant inside during this time, the building was rented for free or very low rent to the poor, to inhabit during drying time. When it was dry enough, they got kicked out and would move to another new building.
The German term for these poor people was "Trockenwohner" (drying residents).
Limewash is an interesting material. It's not paint, you just throw a bunch of slaked lime into water and keep it there. The longer you keep it under water, the finer it gets.
When you need it, dredge out a quantity of the stuff with enough liquid so it's like creamy yoghurt.
Best applied with a thick brush, likes to splash everywhere and is caustic enough to etch an aluminium ladder, so protect yourself.
It goes on looking thin but hardens by absorbing atmospheric CO2 (yup, carbon capture, or recapture at least) and turns whiter as it does.
Unlike cement and many modern paints, it is moisture permeable and so lets the log "breathe" and not rot underneath.
It's also antibacterial, so used to be applied regularly in animal barns.

¾ oz lime juice
½ oz passion fruit syrup
half a passion fruit
2½ oz white vermouth
3-4 dashes Angostura bitters
Garnish: passion fruit in the shell, mint sprig, swizzle stick
Method: Cut the passionfruit in half, scoop one half into the glass and set the other half aside for garnish. Add remaining ingredients and fill the glass ⅔ full with crushed ice. Swizzle until glass becomes frosty. Add more ice and garnish.
A refreshing, relatively low ABV crusher for the summer heat. No spirit involved so you can treat yourself to a second one no problem ;) I saw this on IG servedbysoberon and it's an original of his.

May the 4th be with you! I saw this one years ago from servedbysoberon on IG and finally got around to making it on the right day ;) A riff on the tiki classic, the Navy Grog. But Star Wars!

Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Strain over a big rock and garnish with a slice of grapefruit.
https://potentpotables.app/drinks/chirulin/An easy-going summer sipper! Sometimes mixing up a warm-weather drink lets me pretend it isn't winter for an hour :) Come to think of it, where pisco comes from it is indeed summer! This one was seen on IG from Luiz Fernandes. I didn't have a grapefruit so I did a lemon twist garnish.

¾ oz lime juice
¾ oz carrot juice
½ oz simple syrup
2 oz mezcal joven
a few sliced chilis
Garnish: salt rim, lime twist
Method: Prepare the glass by rubbing the rim with lime then dipping it in salt. Combine all remaining ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Open pour into the glass and garnish with lime twist.
A lovely margarita riff from @highproofpreacher@threads.net — the carrot works so well bringing both sweetness and an earthy tone to complement the mezcal. I have a balcony-grown chili as a garnish in the photo, but for the drink itself I often prefer for a couple dashes of tabasco or other vinegar hot sauce to add heat.

The #RajkumariRatnavati girls' school uses the same yellow #sandstone as the 12th-century fort in nearby #Jaisalmer, in #India's western state of #Rajasthan, dubbed the "golden city" due to the colour of the rock.
Thick rubble walls help bounce back the heat, while the interior is plastered with #lime, a porous material that regulates humidity and aids natural cooling.
