The Evening Tipple...

Happy birthday Spitfire I'll, have one for you tonight.

And happy Repeal day to all.

Tonight will be Martinis,,, and I'm afraid I'll run out of the Old Raj.

Yep, Repeal Day. The Day the Speakeasy Stood Still.
Use Hendricks Gin instead. :cheers1:

Alrighty James, I'm out of a few things so an order is going in for the Hendricks amongst other things. What do you recommend beside the Gin & Q tonic and martinis? What would make best use of it's unique character?

Geez, the computer just crashed and lost a decent post with a bunch of recipes. I'll try again:
The Gin Buck:
1 ounces Gin
1 tablespoon Lemon
6 ounces Ginger Ale

I use a lot more gin but this is the official recipe.

The Ginhattan:
4 whole Mint Leaf
1/4 teaspoon Lemon Juice
1 teaspoon Orange Juice
1 ounces Gin

The Rolls Royce:
1 ounces Gin
1/2 ounce Sweet Vermouth
1/2 ounce Dry Vermouth
1 teaspoon Benedictine

I know you said to forget the martinis but here is one you don't see often:
Opal Martini
3 ounces Gin
1/2 ounce Triple Sec
1 ounce Orange Juice
1/4 teaspoon Sugar
Shake with cracked ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

The previously mentioned gimlet and aviation are also good suggestions. After you try all of those, I'll suggest a few more.

Hendricks does well with a slice or two of organic cucumber. I always freeze up a glass first, and chill the Hendricks, so as to skip the adulterating ice.

I stopped by the store and acquired some Christian Brothers V.S.O.P. brandy and some simple syrup for my collection. So, tonight it is Between The Sheets. It reminds me of a sidecar.

Well, last night I got out the blender and made up some Tom and Jerry Batter. I think I mentioned how I do this before. Its a nice cold weather drink that doesn't take forever to make from scratch like the Eggnog.
Oh, just in case:
one egg for each serving--more or less.
Separate the white from the yolk. Beat the whites until stiff. Beat the yolks until they are thin and light. Fold the whites into the yolks. I add about 6 tablespoons of brown sugar for 4-6 eggs. It makes it thicker. Add
