            @Jett129 I've always wondered, and true or not, at least now I've heard one possible origin.

                  That gin sounds really interesting!

                          @seawolf well this was certainly worth the experiment! It definitely falls somewhere on the Negroni-Boulevardier axis, but has its own unique character.

                              @seawolf I’ve tried two versions - first equal parts, second upped the gin to 1.25 plus added 2 drops of Bob’s chocolate bitters - not sure which I prefer so might need more experimenting on another day.

                                @ARNC definitely more experimenting! Chocolate bitters in a Negroni is chef’s kiss

                                  @seawolf Recently made an old fashioned with chocolate bitters. Really good.

                                    I was making bleu cheese olives for some martinis the other day and realized that the pimientos I was pulling out to replace with cheese weren’t real chunks of pimiento, but a puréed pimiento paste held together with food additives. Not good! Does anyone have a good martini olive brand that they swear by?

                                      @seawolf the latest iteration of the aged gin negronis is not for purists! Back to equal parts, but I substituted a lemon twist for the orange and it seems to cut through the woodiness of the gin better.

                                      On the subject of garnishes, I have nothing to contribute from experience on olives (I prefer my martinis with a twist) but Jack Rudy’s vermouth brined olives might be worth a try - their bourbon cocktail cherries are not cheap but but they are really good.

                                        Ordered these 2 on sale today,from one of my favorite tequila distilleries. NOM1579. When I pick them up I will have tried at least one of every tequila in their current lineup.

                                          I have not had that one. Here is the portion of my agave that is currently on display:

                                          Check this crazy one out:

                                          I have not tried the Luneta, Mal de Amor Tepeztate (which is actually a gift for a friend), or the La Medida.

                                          Think it, be it.
