I love a nice glass of port sometimes in the evening.

Tonight it was my standard Marker's Mark Manhattan. It is just about the perfect cocktail for me. I like trying different drinks but I always come back to it.

Attention Cocktail
1/4 French vermouth
1/4 absinthe
1/4 gin
1/4 creme de violette
2 dashes orange bitters
I don't have absinthe or orange bitters...and I only have Italian vermouth...
...but I was curious about vermouth with gin and creme de violette.
I think it tastes nice and smooth. A strange color...but a nice change of pace.
My wife on the other hand almost gagged......but she is a light weight.

Oppenheim Cocktail
1/2 Pony Bourbon
1/4 Pony Grenadine
1/4 Pony Italian Vermouth
I have never heard of the "Pony" brand...but I made it with my usual brands. It is somewhat like a Manhattan. The grenadine takes the place of the cherry.
I really like Manhattans so I very much this cocktail.
