Went to see Shaw's Pygmalion at the theatre. I liked it.

Earlier: DFH Aprihop and a wee dram of Hudson Manhattan Rye. I'll have to give it another chance but the rye was too sweet for my taste. Guess it'll be one that I save for guest or mix into drinks. I do think the bottle is pretty cute though.

Umm, you could say that.

Unfortunately, I will be traveling to Lincoln, NE that weekend.

Plymouth Gin, Plymouth Sloe Gin and a cute little bottle of Hudson Manhattan Rye* *Probably not worth $41 for a 375ml bottle but I wanted to try a new rye and I like supporting small batch distilleries.

Is it not commonplace to smash windshields?

^ How does "Hidden" work?

Happy Birthday!

Should be great fun!

What an ass.

The one that I really liked was 2007 but I haven't tried the 2008 yet. I think the 2008 is supposed to be very good too. Also, like the Fizz and Romance Jim!

Excellent news!

Good luck Bryan!

Following Al's lead*, the Romance Cocktail from the Stock Book. Romance Cocktail from the Stork Club book 1/2 oz brandy and curaçao mixed in equal parts 1/2 oz Amer Picon (Torani Amer) 1/2 oz French vermouth** 1/2 oz Italian vermouth Stir with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. ** I accidentally use Dolin Blanc instead of Dolin Dry - it was still good just a little sweeter than it probably should be. * This drink was awesome and I should have doubled everything like Al.

Hurray for good cocktails.

That is awesome Al. Have fun!

Very nice Jim! I got my Stork Club book along with a few others in the mail today. First drink from the Stork Club book is the F.B.I. Fizz - pretty nice little drink. 1/2 oz Cherry Heering 1/2 oz Rare Breed Wild Turkey bourbon 1/2 oz Ron Zacapa rum top with soda water

That must have been the problem. I think it is just a tad too warm here to drink Black Forest brandy this time of year.

The Smiths - Meat is Murder

Nice grillin'!

Poured out the Blackthorn and made myself a Boulevardier: 3/2 oz Rare Breed Wild Turkey (barrel proof) bourbon 1 oz Campari 1 oz Carpano Antica sweet vermouth Mmmmm much better.

Glad to hear he is ok - that must have been terrifying.
