My first negroni. First reaction: dang, that's bitter. Second reaction: dang, that's good.

I think that was my first reaction too. :)

I also had a Negroni tonight - at the movie theater watching Tree of Life. I love movie theaters with full bars. :)

Afterwards I mixed up some drinks for myself and hubby.

For hubby: Mai Tai

2 oz Clement Rhum Agricole

1/2 oz Clement Creole Shrubb

1/4 oz Monin Almond Syrup

1/4 oz simple syrup

3/4 lime

This was quite tasty but not as tasty as the following!

For me: Bonal and Rye

Thanks for the suggestion Jim (maybe via Al?)! I really need to try this with Sazerac 18. Very nice!

2 oz Sazerac Rye

1 oz Bonal

1/2 oz Cointreau

2 dashes of Peychaud's bitters

1 dash of Angostura bitters

Aberlour 12

EDIT: I remember this being discussed before but I had no luck finding it via search. Does anybody have any suggestions for a kind of "standard" set of liquors and liqueurs to have stocked to make most common cocktails?

I'm no help - mine is all whisky :)

Ron Zacapa worked well for me. Have a lime in reserve, it worked well.

We are having our second Wiess beer in honor of Karen's grandmother who died last night in Munich at the age of 93. Cheers Frau Edith Werner, to you and an amazing life.

Rum & Cola + Cuba Libra

Tried both drinks with the Fentimans Curiosity Cola (2:1 ratio cola to rum) and Ron Zacapa rum. They were both awesome but I think I prefer the sweeter Rum & Cola. Maybe next time I will use an 1/8 of a lime instead of a 1/4 of a lime.
