The questing Sirius Quartet finally gets around to giving this recital of new pieces for string quartet and pop-song arrangements (they were supposed to give it a couple of months ago, but shit happens during Quarantine). They are still insisting that the supernal "Eleanor Rigby" is "infamous": what's up with that?

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Take THAT: Eleanor Rigby (NOTE: I've never tried this, and I find the lack of Simple Syrup in the recipe a little worrying). Rinse a chilled Martini glass or coupe with Absinthe. Pour 1-1/2 oz. Gin that you've infused with Earl Grey tea (you just put some tea leaves into the Gin and let it sit for 2 hours at room temperature, and then strain out the tea leaves), and 3/4 oz. lemon juice, with 1 egg white, into a cocktail shaker WITHOUT ice. Dry shake. Add ice. Shake. Strain into the rinsed glass. Garnish with a lemon twist and some edible flowers, if you have any.
