My drinking cabinet has been leveled this Summer.


Stuck with Bushmills tonight,oh jemmy how I miss you so.

---

Trying to recreate something that I had at the Shim Sham Room a while back, a "smoky" Manhattan. I've injected smoke into two bottles of Bulleit rye and letting them sit for two weeks.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!

The morning after. I hate you.

How'd that turn out?

So far, so good. Injected twice so now we just wait. I hope the drinks turn out as good as the ones at Shim Sham.

I love Jeremiah Weed, although very few places stock it over here now!

80% of what I talk about is nonesense.. the other 25% is made up statistics...


 

I definitely prefer green nyquil over cherry flavored.. I guess this would belong in this thread.. Not a big fan of the zzzquil or tylenol's version of nyquil.. Just doesn't do anything for me..

OK, I switched up tonight, just drank 12 Lady on the Moon Miller Genuine Drafts

 

Gotta swtich up every now and then :yes:

---

I'm here. Crown and Coke. Mmmmm!!!

Looking to troll? Don't bother, we supply our own.

 

 

I finished the last of my Knob Creek Saturday night. Time to restock.

---

Put some ripe peaches to work in a peach simple syrup. 

 

It's hooking up nice with Wild Turkey right now. Just a 1/2 teaspoon of syrup and a dash of bitters and 2oz of bourbon over ice.  :thumbsup:

Nice!

That sounds wonderfully interesting. How did you come up with that?

I steal good ideas whenever I come across them.  I performed in a bar in NYC that was on the forefront of this whole mixology/prohibition-era cocktail trend all the way back in 2003.  It's big everywhere now, but I picked up a lot from the lady who created their drink menu there. 

(Now her job is flying around the world creating seasonal cocktail menus for the some of the nicest hotel bars on the planet)

Anyway - simply syrup is used in lots of cocktails and it's easy to add anything you want to flavor it with while it cooks down. I've made it with ginger, mint, jalapeño, fig, lemon rind, blueberry etc.   Just toss in a healthy amount of your flavor component with even parts sugar and water.  (I add a touch of extra water when I'm infusing something so it cooks down slower - imparting more flavor.)

You may have just solved my riddle. A few weeks ago I was trying to duplicate a fantastic Old Fashioned that I used to order at a restaurant in, of all places, the Philippines. It was served in a highball glass with chipped ice. However, I just couldn't get it to how I remembered it, which was with a nice subtle refreshing citrus twist. It almost resembled a dash of Rose's Lime juice, but not quite - a little more bitter perhaps. Now it all makes sense. Calamansi are plentiful and prevalent in their diet. I bet they were using some to make their simple syrup. A few crushed, along with the peels... Lab time this weekend.

 

Thanks man.

Deschutes River Ale for me tonight.

Put some Bailey's and banana liquor in blender with some milk and Hershey's, then combined that with Diet Coke over ice in a tall glass. Tasty!

I had an excellent beer in Birmingham a few weeks ago called Pillar to Post. It's made by a local brewery named Trimtab. A memorable brew.

That's quite a concoction.
