Trying to finish a bottle if campari so I can switch over to the Leopold version, all this talk of tequila, and having an almost finished bottle of cocchi Americano had me mixing up a riff inspired from a La Rosita I might as well call a La Rosalia.

1oz tequila
1oz cocchi Americano
.5oz mezcal
.5oz Campari
Barspoon of agave nectar or to taste
1 dash ea of orange and grapefruit bitters
Grapefruit twist

My version of a julep. Homegrown mint, splash of simple syrup, too much Buffalo Trace, extra distortion pedal.

[Jett129]

@WhiskeySandwich I’ve been doing something similar this past weekend,but using tequila,and some lime. Kind of like a tequila Mojito,which is also kind of like a Julep.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Jett129 that sounds good! Might have to try something like that. Can’t go wrong with tequila and lime.

Some treasures that I brought back from Scotland.

tequila, grapefruit, shake, hop tea float. Delicious!

trying to get more fruit in my diet.

[ARNC]

No fruit in sight but I think this qualifies as dessert

@ARNC I’ve been wanting to try that as it’s pretty reasonably priced in the states. My only hesitation has been the fact that it’s kind of on the young side.

[ARNC]

@Jett129 you probably have access to more products than I do in the UK. Definitely worth a try - imho it’s better than the usual suspects for Manhattans. Want to try the Balboa at some point but will wait till it’s on offer!

[Inorganic]

@mclaincausey nicely done with the Fortaleza!

[Jett129]

My Million Dollar Mezcalita… I did’t have an orange and I think next time I’ll rim the glass with Sol de Gusano. Fortaleza Still Strength with Real Minero mezcal floated on the top with a lime squeezed in on the rocks @mclaincausey this would put an XHS smile on your face!

Recent pick up. Lovely hints of syrup on this one.

Negroni in a light, fruity summer version

The tasting that I went to was at my new favorite liquor store. Awesome selection and competitive pricing. My new go-to. Planning on getting some more exotic bottles in the future but grabbed some good ones:

...at my new favorite liquor store.

Mind sharing where? Assuming somewhere in Denver?

[mclaincausey]

@pechelman bad form on my part

They’re in an old location with an iconic neon sign right next to beautiful downtown Golden. Just love this place.

Thanks, @mclaincausey !

When we head back to town we normally spend time to visit our friends in downtown Golden. Will have to visit it next time we're in town! Mostly I was wondering if it was mile high wine and spirits; a close buddy (Steve) of mine is the buyer there.
