Nice Jim! I got pretty snockered with 3 drinks in quick succession last night after going to see Rango with the boy child. I really do think it is tasty, though, and will try the first recipe momentarily.
The Old Pal is just that, a nice little cocktail to have in the repertoire and revisit again and again.
Earlier this evening, I made a Liberal cocktail using the approved HC ratios. Very nice.
