shellylh Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 if i were a bartender and asked to make something special with rye, i would send out a piece of rye bread with some mustard and ham. That would have been ok... at least it wasn't on the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Behemoth. Approved! Beton Cocktail of Becherovka and tonic. Refreshing after working in the dusty basement. What is that stuff like Al? I picked up a few things in Austin this weekend, one of which was St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram. Wow, that stuff is good. I bet it would be nice in some sort of rum drink (or even just to put in some tea on a cold winter night). Black River Sidecar 3/2 oz Germain Robin Brandy 1/4 oz St Elizabeth Allspice Dram 1/2 oz lemon juice (recipe called for 3/4 oz) 1 tsp Agave syrup I like this.

Augsburger Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 As if you couldn't read, Signorello Padrone. This is a brobdingnagian style cabernet sauvignon........... in a good way. I really like the style of cab that comes from this part of Napa Valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absorbine_Sr Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I bought 4 Ohio batch Behemoths this morning...did you get your 15th Anniversary Party tickets?... Yes. They actually did not sell out until well into the afternoon. And a Behemoth bomber. Plus a Broo Doo, Drunk Monk and a Behemoth on tap for lunch. Which was a beef carbonnade with green onion spaetzle and arugula. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Nice sounding lunch, Mike. Shelly, the Becherovka is both herbal and a bit sweet. I enjoy it with tonic or just chilled. You should try the Old Sydney-Town Punch recipe I posted awhile back. Very nice allspice dram drink with gin or genever. Greg always has the best wine and emelius the best brews.

shellylh Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Al, I wanted to make it (your post was the one that made me watch for the Allspice Dram) but didn't have any pineapple stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Monkey Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 I already have a pm to Jim on this, but would like to know what others think, too. I want some good cherries for my Manhattans. I'm not in the mood to make my own brandied cherries. I just want to buy something delicious and fancy. One or two steps above Luxardo. Any thoughts?

One word: Griottines (Morello cherries in Kirsch) They are so good and totally worth their cost. There is about a million cherries in the 11.8oz jar. The only problem is that I find myself wanting to eat them when I open the fridge. Edited October 11, 2011 by shellylh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelly beat me. I don't have these but by all accounts they are excellent. Does this make me one of those people who posts reviews about stuff I haven't tried?

Do not buy Toschi Preserved Cherries as they taste like wildebeest ass. I just put up a jar of cherries (frozen unfortunately, though a good first test) in Bulleit Bourbon. I'll try them next week and see what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emelius Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Bell's Kalamazoo Hopsoulution...Double/Imperial IPA that doesn't come across that way...tasty & nearly as smooth as a regular pale...I'm unsure how they do it...fairly rare on tap...maybe it won't be after the expansion is complete... Bell's Quinannan Falls (Q-Falls) Lager...amusing to read reviews on BA: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/287/58981 but it does have quite a unique taste...& I think I'll go with the guy who said apricot...

shellylh Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Do not buy Toschi Preserved Cherries as they taste like wildebeest ass. Noted, in fact that picture is etched in my mind. Opened up the Cardamaro. Quite nice. I decided to try a manhattan-like drink (the Cardamaro has some similarities to a sweet vermouth). 1 oz Rittenhouse 25yr Rye (100 proof) 1/3 oz Cardamaro I might use a rye at 90 proof or more maybe a little more Cardamaro next time but this is a nice drink. Next up Bols Cardoon. Edited October 11, 2011 by shellylh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
