What Did You Drink Last Night?

[SteveAS]

Unusual for a distillery to make a special offering that doesn't rate very well.

I should only have said, "I don't like it much." I haven't heard or read anyone else's opinion on it.

If it's barrel strength is the proof very high? Often the high proof bourbons need a little water to open them up flavor wise.

The proof is high-ish, but low-ish as barrel proof American whiskies go. If I remember right (I don't have the bottle in front of me), it's just over 120 proof. I have a particular fondness for and drink mostly barrel proof American whiskies (like George T Stagg, Thomas H Handy, William LaRue Weller, other Four Roses single barrels Parker Heritage, several private bottlings, . . .), so I don't think it's the proof that's the problem for me. I just don't care for this particular bottling's flavor profile.

Last night, white wine.

Tonight though, I'm experimenting and have put together a "Luigi" - following a recipe from 1925 (gin, triple sec, grenadine, vermouth and orange juice).

Not bad, a lurid pink colour but drinkable.

It sounds disgusting but I had mixture of red wine and coca cola with slices of lemon and orange in it. Not sure what type of red wine but it was very drinkable...

Sounds like a sweetened Bronx. I love that there are cocktail recipes and books from smack-dab in the middle of Prohibition.

Right now....vodka and fresh squeezed pineapple juice.

I know! I was going to have a Bronx but I have a huge bottle of grenadine to get through.

Here's one for ya.

Drunk One: "That's the best drink I've had since Thursday"

Drunk Two: "Thursday?"

DrunkOne: "Yes I am, let's have another drink"

Think about it. Gotta love old reruns

 

[Wally_Hood]

One night it was another Boston Sidecar; then another night it was a martini.

 

[jmrtnko]

Feh... it's been a tough, tough day, so there's been a Negroni (with Lillet Rouge and Aperol, no Campari thankyouverymuch) and an Aviation.

Now? I'm home and thinking... Martinez.

...

Oh yeah. Martinez hitting the spot.

 

[rkwilker]
