shellylh Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 it was terribly good, whatever it was. That does sound like an accurate desciption of Carpano Antica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I had no idea they're making that vermouth in Spain, well in Catalonia... If you're having a hard time to get it, I could look for a couple of bottles and sending it to you, maybe to Al, so you can taste it at MOA. Nevermind, just saw Al found it at a local shop What's the price there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Starting off light with Anvil # 83 Sherry Cobbler using the Wondrich recipe via Al in post # 97. It's light and fruity and kind of uninspiring. I wouldn't turn one down on a hot day though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Anvil # 60 Navy Grog using a modification of the Don the Beachcomber recipe 1 oz Ron Zacapa Solero 23 1 oz Smith & Cross Navy Strength 1 oz Gosling Black Seal 3/4 oz Lime Juice 3/4 oz Grapefruit Juice 1 oz Agave Syrup 1 oz Club Soda Mix agave syrup with juices in blender. Stir in rums and soda. Pour into glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with orange slices and lime wedges. This is a damn good drink ...

luvdunhill Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 so, was i right about the second baby food jar? that would be the venerable Carpano Antica, able to turn the crappiest drink into ambrosia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Awesome grog, Jim, and such beautiful crushed ice! I think someone needs to take two for the team. There's actually three of them, but they aren't pricey so maybe I will do the hat trick. Back to the Anvil... Port Flip from the Stork Club Bar Book. 2 oz port wine Grahame's 1992 vintage 1 tsp superfine sugar 1 whole egg Shake with ice, strain into wine glass, and shave nutmeg on top. Damn tasty, and I had been dreading this one and the Coffee Cocktail as well. I remember Jim saying this was the better of the two, so I eased into it.

HDen Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Having a "Naked Lady", 1 oz Rum(I should've used white rum instead), 1oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes of apricot brandy, grenadine and lemon juice Going to have a Missing Link next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) Going way back for a Jerry Thomas punch recipe, although I cannot find one called "special punch" either. I should have done the Arrack Punch now that I think about it, but I went for this instead: Gin Punch 1 tablespoon raspberry syrup 2 teaspoons sugar 2 oz water 3 oz Holland gin (Bols Genever) Juice of half small lemon 2 slices of orange [1 piece pineapple] Fill tumbler with shaved ice. Shake contents well and ornament the top with berries. Sip through a straw. Should have added a dash or two of Maraschino that he included in some recipe variation because it would have made it a little more complex. Nice, refreshing and could be great as a big punch at a party. 12 more to go! ^ Thats not my port wine Oops. Got used to adding the e.

Dusty Chalk Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Eau d'Cookie Mk 3 -- Mendocino oatmeal stout -- meh, I think I liked the Obovoid best. I should also mention that it tastes nothing like an oatmeal cookie, more like a mildly flavored spiced beer. But still...I like!
