After much bourbon and rye last evening at the GBS meeting, today I changed things up with a nice cold Negroni made with Carpano Antica vermouth (excellent in a Manhattan, also).

Pimm's Cup anyone?
Would be good while watching the London games.
Yes please! I like to add a little extra gin.Quote:

It's summer time drinks boys! Rum runners, Green Gators, and Funky Monkeys in a gallon jug available on pool days here at our house!!
Summer are plenty of Gin and Tonics, Fizzes, Mojitos since the mint I am growing is hitting gang busters, then the bourbon is getting used up in Old Fashioneds. Never tire of an old fashioned.
Tried some French 75 coctails last night with the No 3 Gin. Turned out to be excellent pre-dinner drinks.
I made a copule of these for the girlfriend (who is on a sparkling wine kick) this past weekend as well. She really enjoyed them.Quote:

Restaurants Version:
Makers Mark
Orange Juice
Ginger Ale
Creole Bitters.
My Version:
Fill rocks glass 2/3 with ice
OWA 107 about (50% filled about 3oz)
Grand Marinier (Add a little less than 1oz)
4-5 Drops of Creole Bitters
Club Soda (Fill remainder of rocks glass) and stir gently.
My version is clean and light with a really nice flavor to it. Definitely happy with the end result has been my go to summer drink now for the last 2 weeks, I can't get enough. I defintely recommend giving it a try. If you do let me know what you think it
what is creole bitters? a brand or a general type? Sounds pretty good to me!
