It has been a while since I had one of those. Maybe too long.

Last night was cigar and Port night.

Good choice but no cigar?

 

[Dixie_Amazon]

It was the first I have made one, may repeat it tonight.
I adore Port.

Which recipe did you use?

Whiskey and ginger ale or the
Whiskey, ginger ale and angostura bitters with a twist of lime?

 

[Touchofevil]

A few Hornsby's Hard Ciders; the same as tonight.
Smooth and easy after an eleven hour workday

Hi

Finally, a vintage mixed drink without Vermouth. It turns out that I HATE Vermouth, AND from a couple of vintage bartender's guides, a lot of vintage drinks contain it (Vermouth). I was in Jacob's Liquor replenishing my supply of Rye (Overholdt, the cheap stuff) and the checkout girl asked about it. Her Favorite is Bullitt, and I suggested the Sazarec, which is spicier (in my opinion).

Will try this tonight.

You are not alone in hating vermouth. It is the reson why martinis today are much drier than they were originally. I make a martini that only included three sprays of vermouth from a vermouth mister. One person described my martinis as cold gin---which is fine with me.

Try the Blue Moon:

2 oz. gin
½ oz. Crème Yvette
½ oz. fresh lemon juice

The Old Fashioned would be good with what you have:
2 oz Rye
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 splash water(enough to disolve the sugar)
1 tsp sugar
1 maraschino cherry

Muddle the cherry, water and sugar together in the bottom of the glass. Add ice cubes, stir. Add the rye, stir. Add the angostura bitters, stir. Drink.

Absinthe Ordinaire - may not be the "real" stuff, but as close as you'll find in the States (legally!).

Thanks James

I just called home to check on the maraschino cherry supply, I have the other ingredients. So, what's Creme Yvette? I found some info on their website, intense berry taste with botanicals. Sort of a berry flavored Gin liquor.

Sort of but Creme de Violette will work if you can't find Yvette. Yvette is berry flavored but not exactly a gin liquor. Try it and see what you think.

Ah, my mistake.

Lime sounds good too. Maybe a Fog Horn tonight.
