What are you drinking right now?

From the PDT book I had a Persephone last night. Complex and tasty. Needs a different vermouth though. The recipe called for Dolin, but Martini is the only thing I can get in this forsaken wasteland.

1 oz Laird's Applejack
.75 oz Martini Sweet vermouth
.5 oz Bitter Truth sloe gin
.5 oz lemon juice
.5 oz simple syrup

 

[Piobaire]

I need to get some Applejack.

Wow, haven't seen a sloe gin cocktail in a good long while. Have you made a sloe gin fizz yet?

Couple weeks ago. Recipe from PDT again. Was good, but I need to tweak it for next time. To be honest, it was rather forgettable which was a disappointment as I was really looking forward to it.

the other day i got to try a tasting of jw blue, black, dewar's, and anCnoc. i was surprised at how much i actually liked blue. wouldnt ever buy it but wouldn't mind raiding somebody else's liquor cabinet.

anCnoc was delicious. mmm. still thinking about it

Hunts (because you recommended it) or anyone else -- do you get a distinct coffee note from Courvoisier VSOP too?

Cava with lemon sorbet. I hear the Italian version with Prosecco is called a sgroppino.

Had several vodka martinis (technically, Kangaroo Kickers or Kickers) with bacon stuff olives over a lengthy lunch with Mrs. Piob, the owner of our favorite local restaurant, and his wife. Then one of his wine reps came in and we tasted through a dozen wines. Then our favorite waiter wanted to do a shot of bourbon with me and then I figured I should get home given it is going into Labour Day weekend. Been sipping rye and cokes since I got home with Wiser's Deluxe.

Wha? No Citadelle NP martini? Son, I am disappoint.

 

[Piobaire]

I'm trying to talk them into stocking Citadelle

Wanted the filler of the coke so I'd slow down my intake. Still relatively early tonight.

 

[erictheobscure]

Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin'. A fine beer.

I found out my local supermarket actually has Citadelle gin, just never noticed it before. I still have a healthy amount of Martin Miller's left and don't go through gin like I used to, though. They have MM's Navy Strength too.

Last night I drank a bunch of Kona Beers at this deck bar near Roppongi Hills with a bunch of drunk Japanese people and then ended up in the Korean ghetto north of Shinjuku at like 2am. Korean ghetto was kinda scary, actually.

 

[Warrengardner]

Nebbiolo dalle Langhe 13% - now this is why one lives in Italy.

 

[b1os]



It's all good.
On a frightening note, I seem to have finished half of the handle of Citadelle I bought a few weeks ago...which is far from the only thing I've been drinking. My current iteration of a martini is just so damned good.

What ratios did you use again? 4:1?

 

[Piobaire]

Exactly. 4:1 and I put in three soup spoons of brine.
