Very cool Alex. This is useful in so many ways.

The Happiest of Birthdays to you good sir.

Bah, you live in Texas. Have one on the way to picking the speaker up

No. Soylent Green is people.

The 20 is a bit smoother and has a nicer finish IMO.

Nice Raffy. The 20 yr old is my favorite. I like it better than the older and significantly more expensive 23 yr old stuff.

Just a word of advice. Digging up threads that are almost two years old to respond to, is an inherently bad idea.

Nice looking cocktails Shelly. Some of the Ginger beers can be overpowering. The Fentimans seems to work well, but I like the taste of Ginger. The Paradise struck me as bland, drinkable, but no complexity.

If someone comes into my house and starts talking shit, my response will be dependent on whether we are friends or strangers. Response here is the same. Strangers talking shit get the shovel and that is the way it should be.

The exchange program sounds intriguing. Only the green chartreuse in the WKs here.

Yep, I like the Widow's Kiss (cocktail). Right now I have, and like, Calvados Morice. I like to try new things so let me know the brand you like. I love that flask of Chartreuse! Nice improvisation Al! How is the Bourye? Sounds interesting but I have not tried it.

A Carthusian with equal parts (3/4 oz) Punt E Mes and Green Chartreuse. I like this one better than the ones the other night.

If I get tenure this spring, Fuckface will definitely work it's way back into my classroom vocabulary. BTW that was a great scene.

Some Gnarly Head Old Vine Zin with dinner. Nice beer and nice view Al.

Yes I have and I cannot disagree with your assessment.

Happy Birthday Cooking Man!

Heh, beat me to it.

Nice Al and Marc. Definitely have to get back to SFO for a more extensive bar tour. I still prefer the Cocchi in a Vesper but if all I had was gin, vodka and Lillet Blanc, I could be happy. You are definitely living up to your screen name Mikey as that is a mad selection of whisky, not to mention that H-C sized glass. Laphroaig QC is definitely good stuff Shelly (Note to self: Drink more to make room for some Laphroaig QC).

Lets plan on about 12 years from now.

Happy Birthday to one of the good guys. BTW where do you keep that white Stetson?

Two Carthusian Cocktails ala B&B 2 oz Rendevous Rye 0.75 oz Punt e Mes 0.5 oz Green Chartreuse 2 dashes Fees orange bitters Stir until cold and strain into a coupe. Garnish with a lemon zest twist. The second one has the the amounts for the Punt e Mes and Chartreuse swapped. Not nearly as good as the one at B&B because it is missing one crucial ingredient, the most excellent company. Still it is an awesome cocktail and I prefer the one that leans toward the Punt e Mes.

Excellent post Al. After my Carthusian explorations I will be exploring the lesser known drink neighborhoods of the NYC metro area. All I need is Cynar.
