            Shane, if you're interested, I can give you my Old Fashioned "recipe" which is more of a procedure, but it's the best damn drink I know how to make.

              Mine is whiskey, simple, bitters, stir, twist, and toss the fruit, built in the glass.  Either a decent whiskey or a love of whiskey, or both, are required 🙂

              I actually prefer the Sazerac expression of the OF, and the very best way of experiencing that IMO is:

              @mclaincausey:

              Being a drunk.

              A sazerac with Thomas Handy rye, Peychaud's, simple, and St. George absinthe rinse, the excess served in a sidecar. Lemon expressed over the beverage.

              This is as good as it gets.

              Think it, be it.

                Today, all day at the pool.  My invention, the Pimp's Cup, a play on the classic Pimm's Cup cocktail.  This one uses a local "grapefruit shandy," some hop bitters, lemon soda, Pimm's, and no garnish (cucumbers are in the classic Pimm's cup).  This is very refreshing.  JSJ and Zhivago, if you or a lady of yourn don't like the Schell Shocked I sent you, this is a good use for it.  I find it a bit sweet, so I either take it with the hop bitters or like this.

                Think it, be it.

                  I love Old Fashioned(s).

                    Cocktail rant.  Why do I keep having to tell bartenders to stir my martinis?  All liquor equals stir, liquor plus fruit or a non liquor equals shake.  Damn you James bond!

                      Agreed. Don't shake my martini, and if you can't make an old fashioned, do something else for a living because you clearly don't give a shit.

                      Think it, be it.

                        Reverse Manhattan, Marvel Bar, Minneapolis. Angostura, Weller 107, Antica Formula (the main ingredient by volume, hence the "reverse"), lemon rind twist and garnish

                        Brilliant.

                        Old fashioned. Old Forrester, simple, angostura, flamed orange rind twist and garnish. Like candy.

                        And finishing the aperitif session with some neat tequila, orange rind expressed over the glass. I love this one:

                            This can be a good reference for what to drink tonight

                              This is intriguing…

                                    I picked up a bottle of the Glenmorangie Signet this weekend.  My favorite single malt so far.

                                        I tend to go for those peatier styles like Laphroaig and Talisker.

                                        To that end, if you want a little extra hair on your chest, this is a big boy: http://www.klwines.com/detail.asp?sku=1009616

                                          ^Love it!  I actually like the 10 year better than the 18 year… which while good, loses a bit too much peat imo.

                                          I will take a 25 or 30 year old Laphroaig though 😃
