Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

@ARNC 6 weeks of abstinence? Lent?

[ARNC]

@ROman yes - not something I normally do but I wanted to try taking a temporary break from drinking and it provided defined start/end points.

One of my good friends who is extremely passionate about beverage recently started a fragrance line called Westlands “drawing inspiration from the world of hand-crafted small batch spirits”.

He is a one man operation making the best scents I have ever experienced, with a heavy influence on rum.

Had to pick up the Rum Fragrance Flight inspired by some of my favorite terroirs and distilleries. Highly recommend this stuff!

The brain trusts at the NHL and the NBA have once again scheduled Colorado playoff games at the same time. This is the third time in these 7 game series, and on game 7. I may not be able to see the games very well either as I will be recovering from LASIK on Saturday. Why not start the imperfect weekend early then with a perfect martini hoping for a perfect game 7 record for my basketball and hockey bros?

perfect drinks are so underrated

Knowing your affinity for agave spirits, have you tried a rosita @mclaincausey ?

[mclaincausey]

@pechelman I’ve not but I will try.

I came into a bunch of spirits recently I’d not normally buy including crème de pamplemousse that I’d love to riff on some agave cocktails with.

This one was the crown jewel of this cache:

@Tago-Mago this is the way

Anyone have a favorite red bitter? I've tried a few and like some (Leopold's was solid) but usually just go back to campari.

@pechelman this is the only alternative I’ve tried. Good enough to repeat buy, but I still go back to Campari most of the time.
