I'm still reserving judgement. One note against it is that it is only 80 proof. Now if you are selling it as a prohibition recipe rye then I would have expected a higher proof. I will likely do some ungarnished and unvarnished tasting this evening.

Nice Manhattan Shelly and definitely extra points on the garnish Al.

Nice Al, I almost tried that one myself. Way to triumph over the Eagle Dinny Now, The Fourth Regiment Cocktail 3 oz rye whiskey 1 oz sweet vermouth 1 dash celery bitters 1 dash Angostura bitters 1 dash orange bitters Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime twist.

A Manhattan (perfect) (Inspired by Dan) 2 oz Templeton Rye 1/2 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth 1/2 oz Carpano Antica 3 dashes Cherry Bitters Stir until icy cold then strain into a pre chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon. [Happily Never After Prince Voice]PERFECT[/Happily Never After Prince Voice]

Just remember you are dealing with middle management and all will be well. Good luck, though you don't really need it.

Using the Carpano with a weak flavored whiskey leaves the drink tasting too much like Carpano for me. I have noted the same with the Vya dry. To test it yourself make yourself a Vodkatini with the Vya dry. That Hercules looks awesome Marc. I will be gathering ingredients for some after we return from the Biggie Apple so you should expect an upcoming PM. Now drinking a DOTU approved Odd McIntyre 1 oz each Germain Robin, Cocchi Americano, Cointreau and Lemon Juice then shake and double strain into a cocktail glass. Hoop La! Frank Sullivan!

Perhaps the Mayans were on to something.

The malbec was good Shelly. That is the fifth different malbec we have tried over the last few weeks and only one was meh.

ScoffLaw Cocktail 1 1/2 oz Sazerac rye whiskey 1 oz Dolin dry vermouth 3/4 oz lemon juice 3/4 oz pomegranate grenadine Shake in an iced cocktail shaker and double strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist. Tonight's drink selections will be focused upon making room in the liquor cabinet.

It's actually not a weasel either, it's a civet which is in the family Viveridae not the weasel family, Mustelidae. Now drinking this:

Except when you crap in an Apple thread it turns to Unicorn dust.

Yep, and still trying to forget.

Hope you had a great birthday Fitz and that it continues today.

An Anejo Highball (Recipe by Dale DeGroff) I created the Añejo highball as a tribute to the great bartenders of Cuba like Constante Ribelagua from the Floridita, who created the Papa Doble Daiquiris for Hemingway. The añejo evokes the spiciness of the Caribbean rum drinks; curaçao, lime and rum are the “holy trinity” of the island rum drink. 1 ½ ounces añejo rum ½ ounce orange curaçao 2 ounces ginger beer ¼ ounce fresh lime juice ¼ ounce pimento dram liqueur (optional ingredient if available) 2 dashes Angostura Bitters Build in a highball glass and fill with ginger beer. Garnish with lime wheel and orange slice.

Looking for more drinks to try the Allspice Dram in, so trying the Ancient Mariner, a Navy Grog variant. 3/4 oz Fresh Lime Juice 1/2 oz Grapefruit Juice 1/2 oz Simple Syrup 1/4 oz Pimento Dram (St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram) 1 oz Demerara Rum (subbed in Ron Zacapa because I can) 1 oz Dark Jamaican Rum (used Smith and Cross Navy Strength because it kicks ass) Shake with ice and strain into a double old-fashioned glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with a lime wedge and mint sprig. The Allspice Dram really raises the Navy Grog to a new level. good stuff. Also the tap-icer makes some really nice crushed ice.

Connect your pad to the computer with iTunes you initially used o set it up and it should tell you there is an update available for your iPad. make sure and sync the computer and the iPad first and then just let iTunes go ahead and update iOS on the iPad.

Redid the Lions Tail from yesterday. had to reduce the Allspce Dram from 3/4 oz to 1/4 oz. I think the good doctor has some burnt out buds or he is just crazy about cloves and coriander. Also bumped up the Bourbon from 2 to 2 1/2 oz, which is never a bad thing. Much, much better. Way more balance to all the flavors.

Well I will probably delay my iPad 2 purchase even longer. Just upgraded to IOS 4.3 and my tired old iPad gen 1 has some brand new zip.

Cool Beans. Thanks.

Shhh ... don't tell. It is visible with the secret decoder ring. Actual question: Is the Applecare warranty transferable if you sell the warranteed item to someone else?
