What are you drinking right now? - Page 781

really? I wouldn't go so far as to put it at the bottom of the list, but its definitely not near the top 5. what is it that you like about it?

I liked the taste I am not a rye whiskey/scotch fan, if that helps.

Richmond Gimlet.

2oz Tanqueray 10 (or Broker's in my case)
1oz lime juice
1oz simple syrup (1:1)
large sprig of mint
Shake together

Great, refreshing take on the Gimlet.

Sunday nights list:

Allagash Curieux
Bulleit Manhattan (only had Noilly Rouge, not my new go to Dolin)
Tasting of Macallan 18 vs. Johnny Blue
Full glass of Johnny Blue

Really chose johnny blue over Macallan 18?

Yeah, gin + sweetened lime is really a decent base if you want to add another flavor note, isn't it? I've been adding absinthe lately, that's highly recommended, though I'll try to remember the mint thing when it gets to be warm and I start keeping fresh mint around again.

No alcohol for me tonight though, I'm afraid. Got some stuff I really need to crank through, and I've been goofing off all day. But I do have a nice Jasmine tea that lasts well for a several brews, so I'm not utterly devoid of interesting things to drink.

My simple pallate chose the Blue. I like Lagavualin and the real peateness of Laphroaig.

jack and coke. all day long.

I can see that if you do not like a sherry finish.

What will I be drinking later you ask? Well, none other than Camus cognac.

Campari + soda as an aperitivo (dinner's in the oven).

Yesterday afternoon, scotch with Kirby Allison of the Hanger Project and guest at Wingtip's club in San Francisco.

Pegu Club. Wne.

And right now a Lubricator.
1 oz Broker’s Gin
1 oz espresso
1 oz chocolate syrup
8 oz steamed milk
Whipped cream

I replaced the whipped cream with more milk and made the syrup out of hot water, cocoa powder and sugar. The gin tastes a little odd in it. Not bad per se, just odd.

Bought some mead to try.

Drinking Ardbeg Uigeadail while watching Skyfall and polishing shoes.

Pretty much heaven.
