Been wanting to try an Arnaud's Special Cocktail with the Compass Box Asyla ever since Marc's glowing recommendation.

So 2oz Asyla, 1oz Dubonnet Rouge, 3 dashes Fee Brother's Orange Bitters

Recipe says shake but I stirred and garnished with an orange twist.

If I had three thumbs, they would all be up. Marc has good taste.

Must try!

Being lazy and having a Wild Turkey rye, Carpano Antica and cherry bitters manhattan.

Do try the Norton Reserva Malbec Gene, it is quite the bargain!

The previously mentioned Stagg.

Nice.

2007 Ch. Souverain Cabernet Sauvignon with steak dinner.

Before dinner I made an *Anvil* drink, an Aperol Spritz since it almost made it to 70F. I could see myself drinking a lot of these on a HOT summer days (we have a few of them in Houston), it was very refreshing!

Aperol Spritz

1.5 oz Aperol

2 oz sparkling wine (Sofia)

Orange slice

Splash of soda sparkling water

[i doubled the recipe because the glass I chose was too big for a single. :)]

Nice Spritz Shelly. The Sparkling water is a nice tweak.

Decided to try a Barbara West Cocktail

  2 oz gin

  1 oz sherry

  1/2 oz lemon juice

  1 dash Angostura bitters

Shake in an iced cocktail shaker and double strain into a cocktail glass.

Garnish with a lemon twist.

About as good as its name, mediocre.

Great spritz Shelly, and hilarious commentary Jim. :)

I am currently sharing a Sierra Nevada Hoptimum with JP and I made a Savoy cocktail from Underhill Lounge earlier.

Willie Smith cocktail

1.5 oz brandy (Le Reviseur vsop cognac)

Healthy Dash lemon juice (.5 oz)

.5 oz Maraschino liqueur (.25 oz)

Shake and strain

As Underhill said, kind of a Sidecar variation with less lemon and the maraschino to sweeten. Tasty but any more maraschino would be bad IMO.
