What are you drinking now, pt 2.

Chocolate soy milk. I'd never had it before. It's not very good.

Dark chocolate almond milk is much tastier in my opinion, might give that a try.

I'm drinking raspberry lemonade crystal light and taking a break from drinking alcoholic beverages to help me get over this cold, consuming scheduled to resume on the 27th.

I almost said that I bet the beer list could make it worthwhile given the psuedo cocktails made with beer, but I was in mood.

Now correcting that mood with a scotch whisky cocktail:

Golden Dog

1.5 oz Talisker (Lagavulin 18)

.5 oz Benedictine

.5 oz Lillet Blanc

.5 oz R&W Apricot liqueur

Shake (stir) well and serve in a chilled cocktail glass.

Smoky, complex and quite nice. Claire took a sip and practically spat it out saying that it was like drinking Liquid Smoke. I disagree.

I'm going to try that with the Compass Box. It's a very nice cocktail scotch, IMHO.

I found out I like black IPAs... (I don't like IPAs, so this was news)

I did enjoy it, but the Golden Dog is way more interesting. I should have noted that I used the Pappy 19yo instead of BT as the recipe specified.

So sorry that your time is too tight for cocktails, and hope your ice and time woes end soon!

Guards Cocktail from the Jimmy Late of Ciro's 1930 bar book

1 oz Dry Gin (Blackwoods)

2 oz Italian vermouth (Punt y Mes)

2 dashes Curacao

Stirred and strained over new ice even though it is probably meant to drunk up. Tasty with the bitter Punt y Mes. Kind of Negroni-like.

San Martin Cocktail

3 parts dry gin (1.5+ oz Blackwoods finishing the bottle)

3 parts Italian vermouth (1.5 oz Punt y Mes)

1 part yellow Chartreuse (.5 oz)

Stir and squeeze a lemon peel on top.

Tasty, not dissimilar from the Guards, but more subtle and complex while less bitter.

Working and drinking Camus. Could you fax me over something Al? Surprise me.

Saw a martini-style cocktail called the Gloom Lifter, Shelly. Coming right up! B)

Meanwhile, I just poured a little Pappy 19yo over an ice cube and I intend to drink it shortly.
