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.

@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!

[RoxRocks86]

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.

[pechelman]

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.

@mclaincausey Going to be in Denver for about 36 hours in October. Would love to go there,but in all probability,not very likely. Is there any way to see what they currently have in stock?
