TwoFingers Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Tonight was a sazerac. Had a good one in New Orleans last week. It was a little sweeter than I was normally making mine, so I went with a little more simple syrup today. Yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCwhammie Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 1 part 4RYL, 1 part Simply Limeade plus a dash of Cherry Heering. Dang, this is dangerously good. Last year I was doing the same but Simply Lemonade instead of Limeade. I think I'm more on the Limeade train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMartin42 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Kirkland bourbon and Diet Pepsi. Not really my thing but when your golf host hands you a cocktail you don’t argue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoFingers Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Enjoying a Veaux Carre this evening. I have to say it is my favorite cocktail but is also the most complicated drink I ever make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Enjoying a White Manhattan tonight, as allergies are getting in the way of me enjoying anything with nuance, but after a long day at work - daddy deserves a little something Really enjoying this, and may have to look at experimenting with non-white whiskey (I think the Benedictine adds an interesting element that might work fine with a lower proof/younger bourbon).

Going with an aged rye and Benedictine begins to drift into Vieux Carre territory. A favorite variation on the Vieux Carre is the Windsor Knot. But both of those also use Cognac. Drinks that use a whiskey, usually rye, along with vermouth and Benedictine plus a few other additions would include a Cocktail a la Louisuane, a “Monks Manhattan” or an obscure one called the “Heim Lick” which is pretty straight forward although I have no idea why it is called that! The Gramercy also falls into the general family. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokinjoe Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 So, Jeffrey Morgenthaler has made the Amaretto Sour “awesome”. How? By cutting back the Ameretto a bit and replacing with Cask Strength bourbon for a 2:1 ratio. 1oz Lemon juice, 1tsp rich simple syrup, and dollop of whisked egg whites. Shaken in a frenzy and strained into rocks glass with cherry and lemon “tweest” (think Serge from “Beverly Hills Cop for effect, here...) for garnish. I was too lazy to do the whisked egg thing, and subbed DiSarranno for Luxardo on the amaretto, but I went with Geo. T. Stagg over his Booker’s recommendation...So, I Win... Very tasty at the end end of a long week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had an old fashioned tweaked with chocolate bitters and a dash of tobacco+grain alcohol infusion the other day, good stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Also was in the mood for a little sour in my whiskey last night; settled on a Suckling Sour. My recipe called for agave syrup, but was just fine with simple syrup as a sub. 2 oz bacon-infused bourbon, 3/4 oz simple syrup, and 1 oz lemon juice. Throw into a shaker with an egg white and some cubes, get to shaking for 30-40 seconds (which I believe counts as exercise), and strained into a glass.

BDanner Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 Not Bourbon, but as the weather has starting warming up, I've been enjoying this: 1 part Jameson IPA Edition 2 dashes Orange Bitters 2 1/2 to 3 parts Tonic Water Slight squeeze of lemon and garnish with lemon peel or slice It came from Jameson's website last year. It has no name, but I've been calling it the Irish Spring. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Bret Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Spice, sweet, nice. The pecan liqueur will overpower so just used a tsp. Not a big rye fan, but had to try it and loved it. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bret Bret Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 This was better than I expected. But the Maraska maraschino liqueur is a great mixer. Much better than Luxardo. The smoked bourbon sugar sprinkled on the ice ball made it sweet and Smokey at the end. BP rye Maraska maraschino liqueur Woodford chocolate bitters Simple syrup Lime slice Smoked bourbon sugar Yeow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil T Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 My favorite cocktail glass. 2oz WT RYE, 1/2 teaspoon simple syrup, 1 dash Angostura, 3 dashes orange bitters, and one big round cube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
