Wicked Whisky Wednesday in Woostah! Sounds wicked good.
Now quaffing an Anvil Bar creation that is very tasty and quite potent as built (high proof and 2x)
Diplomat Cocktail
1oz dry gin
1oz Bonal
.5oz Combier triple sec (Cointreau)
1 barspoon maraschino
2 dashes orange bitters
Lemon peel garnish
New Yorker cocktail from the 1946 Stork Club Cocktail Book
2oz rye whiskey
Juice of half a lime
1 tsp sugar
1 dash grenadine
Orange twist
Good stuff! Toasting Shelly's hubby's feeling better. And while typing my niece/goddaughter called to say she and her wonderful boyfriend are engaged and want to be married at Mayberry. I'm all verklempt, talk amongst yourselves.
Corpse Revivor No. 1
1.5oz brandy (prefeably cognac)
.75oz apple brandy (preferably calvados)
.75oz Italian vermouth
Stir with ice, strain, express twist of lemon and toss in.
Very tasty, especially given the XO, but the No. 2 is still better.
Shelly, I hope your lot improves and cocktail time returns. I like the Westbourne Strength but not the regular Millers. It made for a really great Aviation. I thought about Junipero but that is too much juniper for such a drink.
Pondering what's next.
