emelius Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) hey look!...New Albanian Yakima Rye's on tap... Edited October 11, 2011 by emelius
luvdunhill Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 2:1:1 margarita with Espolon Reposado, Napoleon Mandarine and Lime Juice. Better.
Voltron Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Absinthe-minded Professor 1 oz. rye whiskey (1.5oz) 1/2 oz. Obsello absinthe 1/2 oz. Aperol 1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice 1/2 oz. agave nectar (.25oz) Half-slice orange Ice cubes Tools: Boston shaker, strainer Glass: cocktail Muddle the orange slice in a mixing glass. Add remaining ingredients, shake well and strain into a chilled class. I didn't have an orange to muddle so I added a dash of OJ. Sweet and absinthe-y is a bit odd. Claire likes it though, so I'm going to makes proper Sazerac for myself.
luvdunhill Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 I'm sure this is another cocktail, but it turned out to taste nice, but kinda smells funny: 1.5 oz vintage bourbon 0.25 oz mandarine peychauds lump of sugar lemon rind old-fashioned prep
shellylh Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Cardamaro #2: Bols Cardamaro 3/2 oz Bols Genever 1 oz Cardamaro 3/4 oz lemon juice 1/4 oz Cointreau OK but I like the first Cardamaro drink better.
Aura Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 wildebeest ass. Dinner time! Just split some Red Diamond Cab Sav 2008 with the gf and my sister, who's gonna stay with us for the next couple of days.
Voltron Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 I had some nicely smoked wildebeest ass, but come to think of it that was food at all. Enjoyed my sazerac immensely. Another?
shellylh Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Another? Bien sur. Edited October 11, 2011 by shellylh
emelius Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 Tröegs Perpetual IPA....great stuff...
shellylh Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) Avion anejo to celebrate the Cardinals *win* over the Brewers. Edited October 11, 2011 by shellylh
Voltron Posted October 11, 2011 Report Posted October 11, 2011 12-3 is a pretty certain "win". Cheers to the Cards.
luvdunhill Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 So, shockingly good........ Alaska Cocktail (Stork) 2 oz gin 3/4 oz yellow chartreuse Stir and serve in a 3 oz. cocktail glass
luvdunhill Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Also, does Dubbonet in a recipe imply French or Italian vermouth?
Voltron Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 It implies Dubonnet, which is a fortified red wine with herbs and quinine (although there is now a Dubonnet blanc also). It is not a vermouth, but I guess I would go with something like Punt y Mes if I didn't have Dubonnet.
Iron_Dreamer Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Hopstrike Black Eye IPA at Tommyknocker Brewery in Idaho Springs.
shellylh Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I decided (after trying it in several drinks) that I don't like Dubonnet and poured the rest of mine down the sink.
emelius Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Mikkeller Coffee IPA....the Koppi Tomahawk x Odoo Shakiso this time...not the Tomahawk x Guji Natural... I think I prefer the Guji....but the first sip of the Odoo was preferable... Smuttynose Homunculus...good, but better on tap...
Voltron Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 I tried the Stork Alaska Cocktail and thought it tasted a lot like gin and chartreuse. Not bad at all, but nothing more than the sum of it's parts for me. I then made a nice strong Remember the Maine. Very nice.
Voltron Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 ^I like that beer there. I was too busy drinking an 8 Wired Brewing Company iStout last night to post about it. I liked it quite a bit and want to buy more. Tasty.
Absorbine_Sr Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Boodles and Dolin dry martini's. Plural.
raffy Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 I was too busy drinking an 8 Wired Brewing Company iStout last night to post about it. I liked it quite a bit and want to buy more. Tasty. Damn Al, the description on the back of that bottle makes my mouth water. Was it really as roasty and bitter as the label stated?
emelius Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 had Life & Limb on tap...prefer it in bottles... also had Sierra Nevada Homegrown Estate on tap...prefer last year's... bottles of Founders Harvest...possibly even better than last year...
Iron_Dreamer Posted October 13, 2011 Report Posted October 13, 2011 Just had a very nice tripel at the Wild Mountain Smokehouse in Nederland, Colorado.
