    Old Pal last night:
    1 oz Rye, 0.75 oz dry vermouth (Dolin dry), 0.75 oz Campari (actually, I used Gran Clasico), stirred, served up with a lemon peel

    I think it's my favorite of the Negroni variations.

    It is a really good drink, and an extremely fitting name. Always cool when the names of drinks are well thought out.

    I don't know the exact recipe but I had a Bijou in Denver at Le Grand Bistro that was incredible. Gin, vermouth, Chartreuse, citrus. Could drink fifty in a row.

    Knob Creek has a rye now, too, but I haven't had it.
    I'm sure that once I've had coffee I'll think of some more.
    For the $ Bulleit is hard to beat.

    I agree with Bulleit value. I just finished a bottle of the Knob Creek, which was pretty good, but not a noticable difference to me. mmmmmmmmmm thinking ahead to tomorrow FAC at home to have a nice Perfect Manhattan. Better get some time on the spin bike tonight to prepare. Way too cold and windy this pm to be riding outside (at least for me).

    I went back and forth between Bulleit, Knob Creek, and Makers Mark awhile back. I prefer Bulleit. and need a fresh bottle of rye too.

    Two new drinks this evening.

    The May Daisy:
    2oz Cognac
    1oz lemon juice
    .75oz simple syrup
    .75oz Green Chartreuse

    shake, garnish with mint. This drink is delicious, a new spring/summer favorite.

    The other one is a bastardized version of the first one because I put gin in instead of cognac (I had only had one Lagunitas Sucks prior to this, so this is only chalked up to me being a moran). This drink is really good, too. Not as smooth, but a little more biting for people that like more tart drinks.

    That sounds mighty fine. It's remarkably similar to a Champs Elysees, but absent bitters and with the addition of the mint garnish.

    The Champs Elysees:
    1.5oz Cognac
    0.75oz lemon juice
    0.5oz Green Chartreuse
    0.5oz simple
    Dash or two of angostura
    Shake, serve up, lemon twist garnish

    A couple nights ago we did some Alt-Fashioneds.

    Oaxacan Old Fashioned:
    1.5oz Reposado Tequila
    0.75oz Mezcal
    0.25oz agave syrup
    A couple dashes of Mole Bitters
    big rock, old fashioned glass, flamed orange peel


    Old Tom Fashioned
    1.75oz Ransom Old Tom Gin
    0.5oz Maraschino
    0.25oz simple
    Regan's Orange Bitters
    big rock, old fashioned glass, orange peel and a cherry

    2oz of Grand Marnier with 10-12 frozen blueberries as a nightcap. The berries are great if you leave the drink sit for an hour.

    That looks like a grown up version of a Long Island Ice Tea. I'll have to try that one once I get another bottle of Hayman's.

    pisco sour last night

    2oz pisco(peruvian brandy)
    bit of fresh lemon juice
    whites of 1 fresh egg
    bit of simple syrup

    shaken mad with ice

    serve in cocktail glass with a few drops angostura bitters

    if you do a good job and use a very fresh egg, you will get basically a lemon meringue pie in a cocktail glass.

    very nice stuff.

    most call for lime, i prefer lemon in this one.

    Was going to make some Clover Clubs for my wife and brother in law yesterday afternoon, but had no raspberry preserves; so being my wife and family are from Maine, I used blueberry preserves instead.

    Cooked up some bacon tonight. Rendered fat went in a mason jar with some Old Overholt. Couple hours later I took some maple syrup that my mom just boiled down, mixed it with the bacon infused rye, added a dash of bittermans coffee bitters, and drank a red eye cocktail. I don't like to "invent"* cocktails, but this is pretty tasty.

    *PDT has a Benton's Old Fashioned very similiar to this. But I like red eye gravy, and I have some coffee bitters... so
