Haven't made one in a while. . .
Tonight, I made a Tom Collins for the first time in a long time. . . older gentleman, very nice, and enjoyed that I took the time for fresh squeezed lemon v juice in bottle - I love it when someone c…

Rompope - Eggnog from The New Complete Book of Mexican Cooking. It's a lot of cooking, but boy is it good.
4 cups whole milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1 vanilla bean
12 large egg yolks
2 cups light rum
Combine milk, sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan a…
Well, I am in California. This time of year means a cold day is 50 degrees, and it may rain.
Negroni, my other favorite drink. I always consider it more of a summer drink though, for whatever reason. Maybe it was summer the first time I ever had one.
Blue Moon Cru - coming soon. I'm partial to Blue Moon because my brother invented it - he's the brew master for Coors - but this is a great beer. Being a brewmaster sounds like fun, but there is more work to it than people might think. The cool thin…
Try it. Juniper, rose and cucumber infused. Very unique, very flavorful. Black bottle - white label and a cork top. A small plume of smoke will release when the cork is taken out. 88 proof.
Sounds odd and a little 'snobby' but a great drink to make…
I agree. I got a taste of the Leopold's gin before our Newspeak show, and you're right, it was a whole different animal. Unbelievable flavor. I'm not a gin fan, but a taste of Leopold's made me forget that.
A good Manhattan is pretty hard to beat. For some reason though, most bars just don't know how to make a good one.
As for vermouth, I love good, fresh vermouth. A gin martini with a decent dose of vermouth is hard to beat. If you're not a gin fan, t…
Drambuie does have a little bit of a licorice flavor, so if you don't like that, then maybe it's just not your thing. The key is getting the Scotch right and not overdoing the Drambuie. A good blended Scotch like Chivas usually works well. A lemon t…
I haven't tried it. Should I?
I like Godon's a lot in a G&T. High-end gins, like even Tanqueray, have too strong a flavor and they overwhelm the lime. They can have a viscosity, too, that diminishes the sensation of the fizzy tonic. Cheap gins tast…
Tonight, I made a Tom Collins for the first time in a long time. . . older gentleman, very nice, and enjoyed that I took the time for fresh squeezed lemon v juice in bottle - I love it when someone can sit back and chill with a nice gin mix.
What do you think of Hendricks for a gin & tonic?
Manhattan perfect is nice this time of year, so's a Negroni. In the summer I go for a Gin and Tonic (tall glass, cut the lime and rub it around the rim, then add the juice, ice to 1/3 volume, gin to 1/2 volume, tonic to the top, Gordon's is fine).…
I tried a Rusty Nail in your honor at the Hornet a few weeks ago and it was AWFUL. Not experienced enough with the RN to know whether it was the nature of the drink or a bad pour. I need you to show me somewhere that gets it right.
Rusty nail. But alot of bartenders add too much Drambouie.
I'm with on the Manhattan, particularly when it gets cold out.
When it's warmer: Ketel One martini, up, twist, with very little vermouth.
