Bitter Elder

3/2 oz Plymouth Gin

3/4 oz Campari

1/2 oz St Germain

1/2 oz lemon juice

The recipe I saw called for 3/4 oz St Germain but I thought that would be too sweet.

I like it!

2007 Le Petit Vice Cabernet Sauvignon. Reminds me of Beckstofer ToKallon vineyards for some reason, starting to open up real nice.

I started to make a Mountain Man and realized too late that I am out of Cocchi Americano. I made a twist on the recipe with 2oz Tennessee whiskey, .50 Bonal, .50 Averna, and two dashes orange bitters. More bitter profile but quite tasty.

I've had a fair bit of whisk(e)y over the course of the night without barely feeling the effects. I don't know if I should be sad I don't get a buzz, or happy I can enjoy that much without any hindrance. undecided.gif

Al - Let me know what you think of The Dissident. Been wanting to try that one for ages.. hopefully I'll come across it sometime.

New Belgium Lips of Faith Kick...

75% ale brewed with pumpkin & cranberry juice...25% ale aged in wooden barrels...a collaboration with Elysian(Dick)...

I think it's very good & preferable to most (but not all) of the other fall seasonals...

Fior di Sicily

3/4 oz Averna amaro

3/4 oz Carpano Antica

3/4 oz Aperol

3/4 oz St. Germain Elderflower liqueur

Stir and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a flamed orange peel.

Meh, at least I got to play with fire.

A healthy glass of Lillet since I haven't really been using it in cocktails like I thought I would, followed by a Schneider Aventinus.

I've never even seen Kick around here. :\

It's new:)...

Stone 15th Anniversary Escondidian Imperial Black IPA....their jab at the new naming sytem...I'm in the minority here..I prefer Cascadian Dark to calling something a Black India Pale Ale...

in either case, though, this is a great example of the style:)...

It's new:)...

Well I actually hit up the usual suspects earlier tonight to restock the liquor cabinet and grab a minikeg of Oberon for the weekend, and didn't see it. But hopefully it'll make its way down here at some point. smile.png

(semi) Local Brew Tuesday:

Sierra Nevada: Southern Hemisphere Harvest

Fitzy approves.

Well, since the last Averna cocktail was pretty fluffy I decided to try Al's Mountain Man modification

2 oz Bulleit Bourbon, 1/2 oz Bonal, 1/2 oz Averna, 2 dashes Bittercube Orange Bitters and a flamed Orange peel as garnish because I still wanted to play with fire.

Before/during dinner I had a Blackwoods and Noilly Prat martini

After dinner was a rather heavy gin Bijou with Blackwoods, Cocchi Vermouth and yellow Chartreuse.
