Dark runner hiram stats12/26/2023 Thorpe grew up in the Sac and Fox Nation in Indian Territory (what is now the U.S. Official IOC records still listed Thorpe as co-champion in decathlon and pentathlon until 2022, when it was decided to restore him as the sole champion in both events. In 1983, 30 years after his death, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) restored his Olympic medals with replicas, after ruling that the decision to strip him of his medals fell outside of the required 30 days. He lost his Olympic titles after it was found he had been paid for playing two seasons of semi-professional baseball before competing in the Olympics, thus violating the contemporary amateurism rules. He also played American football (collegiate and professional), professional baseball, and basketball. Considered one of the most versatile athletes of modern sports, he won two Olympic gold medals in the 1912 Summer Olympics (one in classic pentathlon and the other in decathlon). A member of the Sac and Fox Nation, Thorpe was the first Native American to win a gold medal for the United States in the Olympics. James Francis Thorpe ( Sac and Fox (Sauk): Wa-Tho-Huk, translated as "Bright Path" May 22 or 28, 1887 – March 28, 1953) was an American athlete and Olympic gold medalist. Makes about 2 cups.Thorpe with the Canton Bulldogs, c. Let cool for 30 minutes covered, and strain into jar or bottle. Add sugar and reduce heat to medium, stir until sugar is dissolved. Set water and Allspice in a pot over high heat until boiling. Strain into a Coupe, garnished with Spice Drops. Add Ice to the shaker and shake until well-frosted. I recommend Cruzan Dark, but Coruba or Goslings could make a very interesting, if not even richer flavor (and probably darker than good tea). The Half and Half makes it a nice creamy rich dessert drink, and the Fee Bitters punch out that clove/cinnamon thing I expect from anything with a holiday flavor. So, I bring in Allspice and Molasses to really bring out the Gingerbread aspects of the liqueur. The initial thought is to use this as a replacement for Pimento Dram in a Lion’s Tail or something similar, but the flavor is just not present, and gets washed away into the aftertaste rather quickly. The best thing to do in this case, for my creative palate, anyway, is to just go with it. So, like I say, time to make something out of this. The Pumpkin Spice… well, I’ll wait ’til he’s done posting something, but Craig has got something homemade and to damn-well die for. Thank goodness the contest called for the Gingerbread, which is salvageable. This is a marketing sprung product that feels cheaply flavored and developed, a “mix Neutral Spirit A with Flavoring X and water down until underproof”. Now mind you, I appreciate the bottle, and that attempt at this flavor, but nonetheless, I question how this ever got past quality control. I appreciate the idea, but I have yet to see something on the shelf that gets these right (remember BOLS Pumpkin smash? uggh). Thanks a sponsored a little between-the-blogs contest, I received a few bottles of some Holiday themed spirits, namely Hiram Walker GingerBread Spice and Pumpkin Spice liqueurs. Much like the speakeasy bartenders making Alexanders out of Bathtub Brandy during Prohibition, a bit of creativity was called in to clean up the goop in this bottle. What about when life hands you a watery, low on flavor but not sure I’d want to taste it anyway liqueur? Well, in this case you make a cocktail. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade, eh?
