Made myself a couple Manhattens. Rye whiskey (Bulliet), sweet vermouth, and bitters.
Now try the Old Fashioned without the sweet vermouth.Made myself a couple Manhattens. Rye whiskey (Bulliet), sweet vermouth, and bitters.
Without the bitters that would be weird tasting. Try it and let me know.Or I could just skip the bitters. Also, did the final polish on the whiskey stones I had made.
So, how was it?An Cnoc 22 Year Old.
My wife is partial to a cocktail known as a Mojito: It looks like a market garden, has fresh mint in it as well as floating on top of it. All I know is that the main ingredient is rum. Bought her a bottle of Sailor Jerry. The idea being that I make her a Mojito. Yeah right, we both had far more than is wise, neat, no ice. We have been ballroom dancing for the best part of fifty years. It's a tactile activity that brings us into contact with many that enjoy a vintage style of life.
My wife had to see a specialist today. She is going to have a knee replacement, sooner rather than later. The technology will give her a better quality for a while, but the problem is, these replacements have a shelf life, so although we could dance again, it's better if we don't. She has to learn the do's and don'ts in order to preserve the artificial joint.
I shouldn't ramble, or post after drinking neat rum. Just needed to let it out. Apologies.
Did anything crawl out from it?Today was my son's 8th birthday. My wife found a recipe for butter beer. A drink from Harry Potter.
It was delicious!

8 or 10?! :faintThe problem with mojitos is that they go down so smooth that you've had 8 or 10 of them before you realize there's rum in it.
lol lolNope

Not last night, but over the weekend, an ice cold Gimlet - Plymouth Gin and lime cordial, Rose's of course.

I use Aviation Gin for that one with Rose's sweetened lime.
Did you got the Raymond Chandler 50/50 route or Gary Regan's 4 to one recipe?
