Well to be fair he may have to shoot a bear to get out of his driveway. And then there's the whole dented iPad trauma ...

I like THIS recipe. You can do it with or without the spices and you can start using them in about two weeks but they do get better with age.

Nice drink Marc. What is the name of the bar? I think the Metaxa would work well for the cherries Shelly.

Can you look in the mirror and tell me what the temperature is in your apartment?

I don't have any Bulleit, but I will join you in your medication.

That's the side-effect of rye I like the best.

Excellent article Ryan. You already know how I feel about the BA.

Congratulations and thanks. I was thinking hard about that one.

Yep a 2:1 Manhattan will work also. These cocktails remind me of living in the south with all the intertwined genealogies And mini-vesper FTW.

Nice Saratoga Al. I just made one a little smaller than yours (1:1:3/4) also taking Shelly's suggestion to go lighter on the vermouth. I agree 100%, delicious. I knew it sounded great as it is a Vieux Carre without the Benedictine and Peychaud's bitters, which is one of my favorites.

Glad your mom is doing better Al. More good vibes to your mom and dad. Scary stuff Dan, glad it turned out to be no more than an interesting future fireplace story.

Later I will definitely be making a Saratoga. Now we are having a couple of Vespers. Killed the Blackwoods.

[Tice]Nice knob![/Tice]

I love the dunes. Have a nice hike John. Sorry about your shortened ride Chris. In other biking news. We made it around our circle (about 1/3 mile) without training wheels in one try. Peter too.

Have a Happy Scott Birthday.

Wow, just wow.

A Twentieth Century Cocktail with a few subs. Dark Creme de Cacao instead of light and Key lime juice instead of Lemon Juice.

It was sitting on the nightstand. He started a conversation with it and it attempted suicide.

Saratoga duly noted. Now finishing up a pair of Vespers.

Happy birthday Lily. Peter's birthday party was a success. No one was seriously hurt or killed, so yay! Now we are chilling with a couple of Vespers. I think Karen is finally realizing that there is some up side to my cocktail obsession.

Thanks Dinny, Sounds like a great prescription. 2/3 of the way there.

Peter opened birthday presents today at 6:15. Trying to wake up and get ready for the birthday party at 2:00.

Wow bad luck in Florida. Hope things turn towards the bright side for you both.
