      Just found a note on my phone, I think it was from last night. Just says:

      Sazerac Rye possibly next bourbon

      Anyone know if this is a good idea?

        Rye and bourbon are always a good idea. Sazerac rye is a fine one to seek out. You in US?

            I'd say yes.

            Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
            Well, I have others.

              Finally found some legit apple brandy. Laird has been making the stuff for over 200 years but inexplicably their commonly available product is grain alcohol, color, and flavor (i.e. blended). The 7 year is very good and sippable straight. The 86 proof is decent but better for cocktails. Pictured is the Jack Rose.
              2.5 oz apple Brandy
              3/4 oz lemon juice
              Grenadine “to taste” (you’ll want at least 1 tsp, prob 2)

              I don’t really recommend this one. The name and color make sense but the flavor is lacking. And I was using homemade grenadine, so there are no excuses. I fixed it:

              The Jack Mint Off
              2.5 oz apple Brandy
              3/4 oz lemon juice
              1-2 tsp mint simple syrup (leftover from mint juleps)

                Corpse Reviver #1
                2 oz applejack
                3/4 oz red vermouth
                3/4 oz brandy
                Stir

                Old school hangover cure, to be drunk in the morning. Must have been some righteous hangovers back in the day, this is basically an applejack Manhattan. As such it’s a decent drink, and it’s clear to me that applejack is best thought of as a change of pace for whiskey. Or perhaps for taking a slight edge off of a drink for someone who thinks they don’t like whiskey.

                Am I the only one who drinks around here?

                      I make cocktails regularly, just not the fancy ones…

                      My version of a margarita a few weeks back:

                      Silver Tequila
                      Fresh lime juice
                      Simple syrup
                      Triple sec
                      Angostura bitters
                      Topo Chico
                      Lime zest

                        Ha I thought I rarely made cocktails too.

                        What bourbon and tequila are you drinking at the moment?

                            Gorgeous weather prompted me to make a tiki drink.

                            Battle of Batida
                            1.5 oz cachaca (I used pisco, and also tried it with Clement rhum)
                            1.5 oz coconut milk
                            0.75 oz lime
                            0.5 oz simple (not pictured)
                            Shake the piss out of it with ice
                            Top with ground nutmeg

                            I like both versions. If you told me I had to make a drink with pisco I’d make this one. If you told me I had to make this particular drink I’d use rhum. If you told me to make a rhum drink I’d probably choose something else. However this is very good in either version. The pisco has a raw funkiness that makes it unique. The rhum loses that but in my opinion makes up for it with depth. This would also work good blended with ice if you were so inclined, but you’d have to play with ratios.

                            Apologies for allowing this thread to slip to page 2. I’ll try to do better.

                                That’s how you do it. Have a stout aged in Buffalo Trace barrels, for a year. I think you,as well as several others,might like it.

                                          Hemingway daiquiri. Sugar is subbed out for grapefruit juice and maraschino. I like equal parts lime and grapefruit, and just a few dashes of maraschino, most recipes call for more. (I keep my maraschino in a bitters style dashing bottle for this purpose)
