Hey, I can see it now! Nice stuff. Try the Corn -n- Oil and see if that works better with Falernum. I really like that drink a lot. There are also different kinds of Falernum, including DIY options in case you want to investigate.

What I have in Mayberry is an old, cheap Starbucks branded POS because we don't grind beans as a rule. JP knows all the right ones, Shelly so just PM him.

Congrat to Indra, Birgir and all the other purchasers! Keep the world economy flowing! p.s. I could not see Shelly's booze haul and that gave me a sad.

Carthusian Cocktail. Not their original, but maybe a variation. Yummy though for sure. Do you still have one laid down? If not, we can do something about that. yay Shelly! That's a Dry Manhattan.

Two Lane Blacktop then Red Imperial at 21st Amendment with JP. He needs to move back asap.

Just get an HC market tote and bring your gear to meets in it. Or get some other small item just to have the logo item and be part of the group.

Cheerio, good show, pip pip, and all that rot. Have a great expat birthday Michael! Cheers!

Good luck epic blizzard people, and normal blizzard people.

Had to have another Preakness with a little more Benedictine and it was more sweet than hot this time. I like this mix and plan to experiment further.

Glad you liked Dinny's favorite, Mike. I had a nice big Sidecar with Pellehaut Armangac and it merely whetted my appetite. I'm handicapped because I moved tons of booze to Mayberry and I am in SF. Oh well, I should be able to figure something out.

But Ultra Violence would be awesomer!

And damn educational!

Book. Face.

Sweet -N- Hot Bourbon Manhattan a la Dinny. Stagg and Dolin do not suck together.

Split a Ballast Point Victory at Sea coffee vanilla imperial porter with JP. That is a great beer and I am sorry for others that I only had one bottle.

Great spritz Shelly, and hilarious commentary Jim. I am currently sharing a Sierra Nevada Hoptimum with JP and I made a Savoy cocktail from Underhill Lounge earlier. Willie Smith cocktail 1.5 oz brandy (Le Reviseur vsop cognac) Healthy Dash lemon juice (.5 oz) .5 oz Maraschino liqueur (.25 oz) Shake and strain As Underhill said, kind of a Sidecar variation with less lemon and the maraschino to sweeten. Tasty but any more maraschino would be bad IMO.

I just got a notice of a fine for not e-paying my quarterly taxes. Fuck that.

Best of luck Todd, and I hope you find something that makes you happier. Ditto on the good fingernail news Nate, although the peroxide bath made me wince a little.

Hey, me too! North Shore no. 6 and Fever Tree. Lots of Stagg tonight, which is always a good thing.

I am certain I typed a response to this yesterday but I cannot see it here. I liked the drink even though it is odd and somewhat dominated or overridden by the bitters. Like you said, I would like a pro to make one and see how they do it. Very nice Stagg Shelly! Congrat to you and your grad student. HDen, you also need a camera! Now drinking a dram of Fortaleza Reposado in a CanJam LA Glencairn. Yum.
