Just need to acquire the brandy, I have Havana Club Sept Anios and Bombay Saphire, so it's on. Does it have a name?

Found out yesterday that Pappy is being released 1st week in January. I'm on the list fingers crossed.

My current tipple:

Last night ended on a nice and civilised note, sharing this one with a mate while listening to Neil Young's Live Rust. Ahh…

If this is a duplicative thread, please delete and merge.

I like mixed beverages. This is something of a hobby/addiction.

Prepping for the evening with the Cocktail à La Louisianne on D666's cherished coaster gift. This is an old New Orleans classic. Very anise-forward, between the Peychaud's and absinthe. I use two brandy soaked cherries in lieu of the maraschino cherries.

[seawolf]

Old Fashioned. Four Roses Single barrel, luxardo maraschino cherry, orange, sugar, bitters, ice, and an orange twist.

[urbanwoodsman]

Damn I need some oranges.

[urbanwoodsman]

All I have is mango and pineapple.

Meh, what the hell.

[tigerpac]

Just got into San Diego for vacation, so Margarita time!  (when in Rome…)

[seawolf]

Shane, if you're interested, I can give you my Old Fashioned "recipe" which is more of a procedure, but it's the best damn drink I know how to make.

[mclaincausey]

Mine is whiskey, simple, bitters, stir, twist, and toss the fruit, built in the glass.  Either a decent whiskey or a love of whiskey, or both, are required

I actually prefer the Sazerac expression of the OF, and the very best way of experiencing that IMO is:

@mclaincausey:

Being a drunk.

A sazerac with Thomas Handy rye, Peychaud's, simple, and St. George absinthe rinse, the excess served in a sidecar. Lemon expressed over the beverage.

This is as good as it gets.

[mclaincausey]

Today, all day at the pool.  My invention, the Pimp's Cup, a play on the classic Pimm's Cup cocktail.  This one uses a local "grapefruit shandy," some hop bitters, lemon soda, Pimm's, and no garnish (cucumbers are in the classic Pimm's cup).  This is very refreshing.  JSJ and Zhivago, if you or a lady of yourn don't like the Schell Shocked I sent you, this is a good use for it.  I find it a bit sweet, so I either take it with the hop bitters or like this.

Yes please.

I love Old Fashioned(s).

[tigerpac]

Cocktail rant.  Why do I keep having to tell bartenders to stir my martinis?  All liquor equals stir, liquor plus fruit or a non liquor equals shake.  Damn you James bond!

[mclaincausey]

Agreed. Don't shake my martini, and if you can't make an old fashioned, do something else for a living because you clearly don't give a shit.
