Outta bourbon!!!!

I was all out of anything good- like bourbon.

Good grief Mr Fish, that is an unacceptable condition.

Elijah Craig 12--a non-skunky bottle--and a bit of ice. Excellent.

A Sidecar. I really only drink these in the Fall and it was the first one of the season. Lovely!

Cheers

I'll put it on the list.

 

[Matt Deckard]

Diet Coke... but it was flat.

 

[Boodles]

Elijah Craig 12

I'll put it on the list.

Well...as you know from reading this forum, some people hate the stuff. I love it, but I also eat grits. One downside is that Craig 12's price has ratcheted up over the past couple years. It was once a steal. I guess that marketing reeled me in. Still at +/- 20 bucks it's not so bad especially given that it's 12 years old and more especially when you compare it with the price of gin (white dog which was aged by soaking in weeds for a week).

 

[LordBest]

Negroni.

 

[rkwilker]

Johnny Walker Black/neat.

We got a bottle of apricot brandy this weekend, and yesterday we had this drink which I found here, comment 8, and I haven't found any other information anywhere else [huh]

The Grande Bretagne Cocktail No. 1
1-1/2 oz. dry gin
1/2 oz. apricot brandy
1/2 oz. strained lime or lemon juice
1 tsp. egg white
1 dash orange bitters
Shake with lots of ice and turn into a chilled cocktail glass.

With lemon. I really liked it in fact. My partner liked it too.

 

[PoohBang]

Had another Avery Ellie's Brown I think I'm hooked on it!

 

[jamespowers]

I'll put it on the list.

Smoke and mirrors
1 1/4 ounce aquavit
1 1/4 ounce Campari
3/4 ounce Cynar
Garnish: Flamed orange peel.
Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass.

If you like these ingredients, give it a try; otherwise you are going to be sick.

I enjoyed my Bull-dog cocktail so much last night I mixed up another batch tonight.

 

[rkwilker]

Grey Goose....on the rocks.

 

[Jenniferose7]

I went to a shopping event here in NYC and their complimentary drinks were all very frou-frou and sweetie sweet with rather ridiculous names. I am quite ashamed but they were free.

Now I'm ready for a good martini.

One of my "normal" Pubs (Hales) has been doing a "firkin on the bar" every Wednesday night. They put a 7-1/2 gallon beer keg (pony keg or firkin) on a stand on the bar, tap it, and pour just with gravity (no supplemental CO2)

Last night they had a blended beer - about a half gallon of soured barleywine was added to 7 gallons of wood-barrel-aged belgian double yesterday morning, and allowed to mix and stabilize. They tapped it in late afternoon, and it was an amazing beer. Just enough soured barleywine to add nose, depth and interest, but not so much that the sour was in anyway off-putting. I expect they will still have some available tonight (at about 8% ABV, they were pouring it in small glasses), and so I strongly recommend any readers from Seattle to head over there if you have a chance.
