Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

Favorite bourbon cocktail is an old fashioned, though mine is just whiskey, Ango, simple, stirred briskly and garnished with brandied cherries.

Favorite rye cocktail is a Sazerac.

Also love Vieux Carre and Cocktail a La Louisiane.

I've changed my method a lot since I sent that to you Shane.

Now I muddle sugar, splash of water, bitters. Add jigger of bourbon, express zest of orange inside glass, add an ice sphere and garnish with a luxardo cherry.

McLain & Seawolf are starting to remind me of "Young" Flannigan & Doug Coughlin. Who is up to playing Elisabeth Shue's character.

Right I'll get me panties…

Nice! I'm glad that there are others out there who appreciate the Nonino. I need to branch out and try some cocktails that incorporate a good amaro. Unfortunately I live in bumblefuck, OH, so inventive drinks are nowhere to be found out here.

I usually drink bourbon neat or on the rocks, but a Mint Julep can be good on a humid summer day.

Probably my very favorite, the Paper Airplane. If you can get Amaro, the rest is easy… Campari is available everywhere.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely have to give that recipe a try. I'm not always a fan of mixed drinks involving Campari, but with lemon juice, Nonino, and bourbon in the mix I'm sure I'd like it.

Beautiful picture of the Nonino bottle T&A; it pairs well with the wood surface underneath.

Nice drink glass seawolf. The stirrer is pretty classy too. I like how my avatar is clearly visible in the background haha.

Just bought a bottle of this. Every house needs a bottle of good whisky right?..

Indeed, and that's one of my favourites - good choice!
