          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)

              Frozen "Battle of Batida."  I made the non-frozen version of this previously.  For the frozen version:

              -Fill blender half full of ice
              -3 oz Pisco (or cachaca or rhum)
              -3 oz coconut milk
              -1 oz simple syrup
              -1.5 oz lime juice (a whole lime)
              -Blend and top with ground nutmeg

              Very nice drink for the gorgeous weather we're having.  Also, my wife was outside with our daughter and walked in on me making this, which made me feel like:

              I've probably posted that before, but you can never watch it too many times.

                    Not a real Pina Collada anyway, just what was in the cupboards…

                    Great on a hot evening with a ton of ice...

                        A Denver distillery, A. D. Laws, makes a pretty good Bourbon. Trying the bottled in bond. Not bad, makes a deece Manhattan with these ingredients.

                        Think it, be it.

                          @mclaincausey That's my preference for manhattan vermouth as well.  I pair it with a spicy, 90-100 proof rye generally.

                            I agree a spicy rye is preferred. Usually just good ole Rittenhouse for me.

                              Pikesville is my current go to Rye. Really delicious on the rocks or in a cocktail. I tend to use Cask Strength Makers when I make Manhattans.

                                My very favorite is probably Handy but I can no longer justify it, especially when Rittenhouse is $20 a fifth. I went through a lot of it and Hibiki 12 year back when 8 could get them for $80 or less a fifth. Man those were the days…

                                  I’ve been paying just under $50 for the Pikesville,when I catch a sale. I think the High West Double Rye,or the Bulleit Rye are really good values. Speaking of the good old days,used to get the Van Winkle 12 year old Rye for $35 a bottle,then it jumped to $75 and now it’s just about impossible to find.

                                    Soooo good. Love this stuff! I should cellar a few bottles but I like drinking them instead.

                                      Dude,That’s my absolute favorite Mezcal. Really delicious,and not too smokey.

                                        I enjoy smoky in mezcal and scotch (the wife does not appreciate it on my breath though), but you're right, this one is smooth and sweet. I think it's triple distilled, which is to credit for cutting  some of the smoke from roasting the piñas. And of course the inclusion of corn plays a role too.

                                        I think it would be a good starter mezcal for someone dipping their toes into the spirit.

                                        More about the mezcalero and his process and other products here.

                                          This is my current Mezcal rotation. The Siembra is the smokiest,and I sometimes just put a splash of it into a Tequila on the rocks with lime,called a Mezcalita.The Vida is OK,definitely not as good as the other two. The price for the Vago Elote is $59.99 out here,occasionally I catch a sale and get it for about $50,what does it cost in Denver?

                                            The Vida tastes like kerosene [emoji23] But if you see Del Maguey Chichicapa that one is really nice.

                                            Elote would normally be about that but I picked this up for $46 from a new Total Wine that has great pricing at least for now. Pretty damn good deal. But not a great mezcal selection. The big ones like Ilegal, but really lacking given the strength they have for other wines, beers, and spirits in terms of selection. They did have Chichicapa though.

                                            Think it, be it.
