shellylh Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 I want some Seasmoke. Yes! We have it here! I haven't seen the other post, but I'll find it and reply there. I found another liquor store here that is independent and has a few interesting things that our Spec's doesn't have. It's worth checking out for sure. Really long, sad, story short but I'll likely only get one more "non staple" booze order in this year. I'm putting a wish list together and checking it twice Let me know about that place... I'll check it out if I have the time while I am there. Decided to crack open the Bols. Martinez (from this site). 2 oz Cocchi Torino sweet vermouth 1 oz Bols Genever gin 1 tsp Maraschino liqueur 1 dash Boker's bitters lemon peel The problem with this drink was that the sweet vermouth overpowered all the other ingredients. Otherwise it was fine.
Voltron Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Flip the proportions of genever and vermouth and you have a drink. That sounds sickly sweet.
shellylh Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 I was suspicious (since the usual Martinez has the amounts essentially switched as you mentioned). Since I had never had the Genever gin, I went with the recipe on that site. That was dumb.
Augsburger Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 I want some Seasmoke. Any time you or Reksy are in my 'hood give me a ringy. I have a Seasmoke chilling for any Caser road crew tour stops.

shellylh Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Any time you or Reksy are in my 'hood give me a ringy. I have a Seasmoke chilling for any Caser road crew tour stops. I'll make sure to wear my snake suit so I can fit in.
Voltron Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Bad idea Shelly. Augsburger the Snake Slayer will lop off your head before you even get a glass of Seasmoke!
guzziguy Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Any time you or Reksy are in my 'hood give me a ringy. I have a Seasmoke chilling for any Caser road crew tour stops. I happen to be driving your way next week. I'll drop by for the Seasmoke.
Hopstretch Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Marketing's marketing, but sticking all that shit on your bottle has to denote some sort of inferiority complex, surely?
Voltron Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Negroni @ Americky, yum. Nice! The bar is teh awesum looking too. Marketing's marketing, but sticking all that shit on your bottle has to denote some sort of inferiority complex, surely? Kleine means little, so maybe Zalze mean cock? Fernet Branca. Willingly?
grawk Posted September 19, 2011 Report Posted September 19, 2011 Barrel Aged Series Stillwater Existent
Voltron Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Cool. Does it taste much different from the original Existent?
grawk Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 I don't have the original to compare, but I don't think it's hugely different. I'm drinking a Fisherman's Pumpkin Stout now.
Absorbine_Sr Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Manhattan. Cheers Paris Claire, and I will go up and hug my Dual before bed since it has heard of the damage to its brother and I want to comfort it.
luvdunhill Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Indeed. I like the stuff too. Try a Hanky Panky

shellylh Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Don Julio anejo and Partida anejo. Yep, I like the Partida more than the Don Julio. I have also decided that I like good tequila. Mikey: You must have had too much wine, that steak is awfully blurry. Edited September 20, 2011 by shellylh
guzziguy Posted September 20, 2011 Report Posted September 20, 2011 Nice reporting, Shelly. I really like Don Julio and also prefer it to the Herradura, which is very good in itself. I haven't tried any of the tequilas that you prefer to the Don Julio. My favorite tequila is Cuervo Reserva de la Familia. It's even smoother than DJ so you may not like it as much as I do. IMO, it was a great deal when Costco carried it for $73 but it's too expensive at regular selling price.
