What Did You Drink Last Night?

[Ethan Bentley]

A glass of Amontillado, whilst reading "The Cask of Amontillado". Here's to Edgar Allen Poe.

 

[Brummagem Joe]

In a word.....too much (two words actually)

Basically my summer sundowner is a gin and tonic.....the problem is they slip down too easily particularly at the end of a hot summer day......I can go through three or four without blinking.......so my alternatives which are every bit as refreshing but not quite as gulpable are Campari and Soda, or Pastis (well maybe the campari is fairly gulpable but not quite as much as the g and t). For the winter, switch to the Dewar's and water.

Buffalo Trace/rocks.

 

[Wally_Hood]

G&T for Missus H and Manhattan (rye) for me.

 

[Ethan Bentley]

Buffalo Trace/rocks.

An excellent choice, I think I've still a bottle to be opened.

 

[Boodles]

.

Noah's Mill and, as always, a bit of ice.

 

[Hemerlin]

Beuser & Angus Special

I was thinking of using Chartreuse at the next cocktail party and so I tried the "Beuser & Angus Special" today. A great drink if you love cough syrup (seriously: it differed from my usual spirits of choice but was very tasty, definitely a keeper).



50 ml (1¾ oz) Chartreuse Verte
15 ml (½ oz) Luxardo Maraschino
20 ml (¾ oz) lime juice (lemon worked fine)
small egg white
a dash simple syrup (since Chartreuse and Maraschino are both sugared, you don't really need that much)
Orange Flower Water (we get it at every wholefood shop)
-->
Shake all ingredients with ice, then strain into a large old fashioned glass filled with crushed ice. Top with 5 dashes orange flower water and lemon twist.

Russles Reserve Rye, 1 ice cube.

 

[Boodles]

I have not tried the Russell's Reserve Rye

Russles Reserve Rye, 1 ice cube.

I like the Bourbon so I must try the Rye. Is it available in the NC ABC stores?

For me last night it was a couple martinis, Boodles this time with just a little Lillet Blanc and a nicely trimmed lemon twist. Anymore it seems, many barkeeps don't have the time to prepare the lemon twist so you end up with a lot of pith. Patooey.

 

[rkwilker]

Yep Boodles, you can get it in NC ABC stores. Last night was Blanton's/rocks. Excellent bourbon.

 

[Fletch]

Spaten Oktoberfest, their seasonal Märzen (the amber lager with that characteristically German malt flavor). On sale at the sto'. Nice, slightly sweet, easy drinkin'.

 

[DC3]

Three fingers of Laphroaig 10 year old single malt over ice. Simply wonderful.

 

[Mike1939]

A few Grapevine Cocktails while listening to Ray Noble with Al Bowlly.

 

[Boodles]

Four Roses Single Barrel and a bit of ice

Now that this bottling is available reasonably near my town, and so it is replaceable, I allowed myself to open the one bottle I had on hand. Not too shabby. There is, however, some taste I cannot figure out. I thought about getting my supertaster wife to try to identify the taste but that would drain the bottle twice as fast.

 

[Medvssa]

Satan's Whiskers, quite good

Well, I used equal parts of everything because my measure broke and I have to get a new one

 

[HatRak]

Khalua and cream . . . real cream, heavy on the Khalua.

 

[rkwilker]

Grey Goose...yep...over boulders.

 

[Boodles]

I hope not an equal part of the orange bitters!

This drink looks to be something I need to try. I wonder why Hendricks gin given all the other tastes going into the shaker? It seems that the subtle cucumber taste in the Hendricks would disappear.

 

[Medvssa]

I couldn't taste the gin in it, with so much vermouth and all... but well, it was Sapphire, which I hear is very soft. It is the only one I have [huh]

 

[Medvssa]

And lol no, not equal part bitters
