““And it ripples through the crowds
Who run and cast their doubts
In the deep forbidden lake. ””
by — Neil Young
Neil, as usual, touches the unknown things.
here also:
“just like ripples on the water”, David Bohm.
the idea is, that there is more below the surface which just shows you the ripples on the river. You might love at this triviality, but think about it. It’s a completely different physical picture, from what is scratched today: the surface. There is a river below which carries the unconscious beings, the hidden archetypes, and the today so often “forbidden” beings of your own. If you’re honest, you feel that life is bigger than all that behavioural shit and what these tomograph-pictures show about you.
Discover your forbidden lake
and then discover your deep lake.
“… OK, that’s enough of the in-depth scientific approach to cocktails. Let’s get down to a serious drink. How does Cortez the Killer sound to you?
“The drink is named after the Neil Young song of the same name, mainly because of its fluid, meandering guitar solo,” says Brent Butler, bartender at Blackbird on Market Street, and creator of this cocktail.
He’s been making batches of the drink and aging them for four weeks in a Hudson rye barrel. The recipe includes Bonal, a French aperitif wine infused with gentian, cinchona and various other herbs found in the Chartreuse Mountains in eastern France. There’s no real substitute for Bonal, I’m afraid, but it can be found at good wine stores. And it can be found at Blackbird, too, in Brent’s barrel-aged Cortez the Killer cocktails.
