Very nice Al. That post made my day.
Having a La Fortaleza anejo margarita right now and it is awesome. Thanks Al!
2 oz La Fortaleza anejo tequila
1 oz Creole Shrubb orange liqueur
1/2 oz lime juice
Delicioso!
Good to know Al, I won't try to hard too try hard to find it. Really looking to the Fortaleza. Have you tried both the reposado and anjeo? Which do you like better. Guess I should have asked this before I had the anejo sent here.
Haven't seen that one and a quick check says it isn't at my local store. I'll see if I can find it to try at a restaurant.
Mikey: What is that one? It looks kinda fancy.
I would really like to try Casa Noble Single Barrel Extra Anejo.
I forgot to mention that I tried some Pura Vida at the store the other day and wasn't impressed with it. So I will be skipping that bottle.
I have a bottle of La Fortaleza (Abuelos) Anejo on route from NoCal right now from a certain friendly HCer. Cannot wait to try it.
Don Julio anejo and Partida anejo. Yep, I like the Partida more than the Don Julio. I have also decided that I like good tequila.
Mikey: You must have had too much wine, that steak is awfully blurry.
I was suspicious (since the usual Martinez has the amounts essentially switched as you mentioned). Since I had never had the Genever gin, I went with the recipe on that site. That was dumb.
I want some Seasmoke.
Let me know about that place... I'll check it out if I have the time while I am there.
Decided to crack open the Bols.
Martinez (from this site).
2 oz Cocchi Torino sweet vermouth
1 oz Bols Genever gin
1 tsp Maraschino liqueur
1 dash Boker's bitters
lemon peel
The problem with this drink was that the sweet vermouth overpowered all the other ingredients. Otherwise it was fine.
