Voltron Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Sake Martini Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Is that a lychee on the stick? Looks odd in the pic.
VPI Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) That is the name of the Martini, Lychee Martini, so I am guessing that is what it is. Edited March 15, 2011 by VPI

Voltron Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Nice Dan. I don't usually make a Dry Manhattan (half or all dry vermouth) but have you ever used an olive or lemon instead of a cherry?
grawk Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 I'd never garnished my manhattan before, and I only have dry vermouth in the house.

shellylh Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Very nice Dan and Jim! I am not sure what I think about Jeff's drink though....
shellylh Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Forgot to post my Anvil drink last night: Champs Elysees 1 1/2 oz Camus Cognac 1/2 oz Green Chartreuse 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice 1/8 ounce Agave syrup 2 dashes Angostura bitters Not my favorite but not bad.
mikeymad Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Springbank 21 Nice, was one of my favs a while ago (old version) Cheers, Mikey
Voltron Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) I had the same inspiration as Jim and made essentially the same drink in the form of a Savoy Manhattan Cocktail No. 1, although I had to double the rye. Manhattan Cocktail (No. 1) Use small Bar glass. 2 Dashes Curacao or Maraschino. 1 Pony Rye Whisky (ok, two pony glasses of Russell's Rye) 1 Wineglass Vermouth (Mixed -- Dolin Dry and Perucchi Italian) 3 Dashes Angostura Bitters (3 dashes Fees Old Fashioned Bitters) Shake up well (stir), and strain into a claret glass. Put a quarter of a slice of lemon In the glass and serve. If preferred very sweet add two dashes of gum syrup. Edited March 15, 2011 by Voltron
Voltron Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Last drops of Eagle Rare. Get 'em all Dinny!
morphsci Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 Nice Al, I almost tried that one myself. Way to triumph over the Eagle Dinny Now, The Fourth Regiment Cocktail   3 oz rye whiskey   1 oz sweet vermouth   1 dash celery bitters   1 dash Angostura bitters   1 dash orange bitters Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lime twist.
shellylh Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) Perfect Manhattan, same as Jim (except with Wild Turkey Rye) and also inspired by Dan... does not suck. Edited March 15, 2011 by shellylh

Voltron Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 Following Jim is the theme for the night so I made a Fourth Regiment to kill off the Russell's Rye, which i will not buy again. Had only 2oz so I adjusted down, and rhubarb is practically celery, right? Note: l took out the eyes before drinking so as not to choke on them.
mikeymad Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) awe... cute fun for the whole family. Edited March 15, 2011 by mikeymad
morphsci Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 Nice Manhattan Shelly and definitely extra points on the garnish Al.
emelius Posted March 15, 2011 Report Posted March 15, 2011 what's the verdict on the Templeton Rye?...last I heard Binny's was getting some in, but I haven't seen it in Indy yet...
morphsci Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 I'm still reserving judgement. One note against it is that it is only 80 proof. Now if you are selling it as a prohibition recipe rye then I would have expected a higher proof. I will likely do some ungarnished and unvarnished tasting this evening.

Now if you are selling it as a prohibition recipe rye then I would have expected a higher proof. I will likely do some ungarnished and unvarnished tasting this evening. The "prohibition era recipe" means "add water to extend it." Fuck 80 proof rye. Even that Russell's crap is 90 proof.
morphsci Posted March 15, 2011 Author Report Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) I'm not totally opposed to 80 proof alcohol. I can always just mix up two. Edited March 15, 2011 by morphsci
