smokinjoe Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 I got a radio. I got college football. I got a pork butt in the smoker. I got a chair on the patio. And I got a Rye Monk. I got about everything I need right now! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM818 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Naked and Famous. They flowed last night. Equal parts mezcal, aperol, yellow chartreuse and lime juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryT Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Started tonight with an Old Pal, and wrapping up with an Old Fashioned (using Redemption High Rye Bourbon - which I hoped might be something it would work well in . . . but apparently I'm spoiled by better bourbon). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad-proof Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 My wife has had a week, so made her Margaritas. They were out of Espolon so trying the Altos for the first time. Wife is happy, which was the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a slight alteration to a boulevardier. No bitters. 2oz WT101 1oz Cherry Heering 1oz Campari It's more balanced than a stock boulevardier.

tanstaafl2 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) The hit libation of thanksgiving last night was a Kimball House cocktail creation called “Fools Gold”. Don’t know the exact ratios (yet!) but it was bourbon, lemon juice, spiced honey, Pommeau de Normandy (you all have that at home right??? I know Joe is going to run right out and get some for his burgeoning cocktail collection) and green Chartreuse. Quite festive!

GaryT Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Decided to try something that would include Benedictine as I have a few old bottles collecting dust (and they were old when I bought them a few years ago dusty hunting; labels read 23/32 pint which was a first for me!) Thanks to Google, found a solution: The Preakness Cocktail 2 oz Rye 3/4 oz sweet vermouth 1/4 oz Benedictine 2 dashes Angostura bitters I did overpour on the Benedictine (closer to 1/2 oz) but pleased with the result. Like an herbal Manhattan! Using my 'cocktail rye' (which is just a blend of a bunch of rye so I have a bottle in the kitchen; started with trying to kill several low-fills and now I just top if off periodically with whatever).

webfoots Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Trying out Fee Brothers Grapefruit bitters tonight in an old fashioned. 3 dashes bitters, 1 barspoon of simple, and 2 ounces WT101, along with lemon peel. Very tasty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM818 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Penicillin season. 2 oz Duncan Taylor, .75 oz lemon, .75 oz ginger honey syrup. Shaken. Floated with some Laphroaig. Pre pandemic I was in Austin on Rainey Street and a bartender was making this drink for me. He pulled out a perfume bottle to spray the top of the drink w the Islay. Alas, I am not that cool. This drink probably took my interest in cocktails to a new level. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect this is their Johnny Walker knock off for the large volume big box Total Wine buyers of the world. I like to use Compass Box Peat Monster as the float if available since that was how it was originally created. But Laphroaig will certainly work!
