morphsci Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Posted January 31, 2011 Much better cocktail name Al, sounds like something to be drinking while listening to jazz. As far as the beer versus cocktail battle, it's not a war, only a police action. Moving on from Left Coast Babs to the Blackthorn Cocktail 2 oz gin 3/4 oz Dubonnet 3/4 oz kirsch Stir with ice in a mixing glass and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a Maraschino cherry and a lemon twist. Moving in the right direction. Better.
Absorbine_Sr Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Mike, how is the barrel-aged? I preferred the cask to the barrel aged. Too far over the top on the BA.
shellylh Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 About as good as its name, mediocre. Heh
Voltron Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Split a Ballast Point Victory at Sea coffee vanilla imperial porter with JP. That is a great beer and I am sorry for others that I only had one bottle.

emelius Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 gas station coffee... anyone here ever had Templeton Rye?...they're out of Iowa...
emelius Posted January 31, 2011 Report Posted January 31, 2011 Mad River John Barleycorn Cellar Reserve 2009 Barleywine Style Ale...smooth & delicious...has definitely mellowed...
emelius Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Great Divide Grand Cru Belgian-Style Dark Ale... bottled earlier this month...plenty fresh...spicier than the Sierra Nevada...not as juicy...waaay sweeter...SN gets the nod in my mind...but, at 11%, sure aging one of these would be fun...as would the food pairing suggestions on the label...

luvdunhill Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Dire Straits Sling? That's about right. Totally hit the spot tonite. Nice to be back in the sling of things

luvdunhill Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Following Jim's lead.. Blackthorn Cocktail 2 oz gin 0.75 oz Dubonnet Rouge (0.5 oz Carpano) 0.75 oz kirschwasser Stir.
Absorbine_Sr Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Sweet -N- Hot Bourbon Manhattan a la Dinny. Stagg and Dolin do not suck together. ^^^This. And he's right. It does not suck very much.
morphsci Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 Nice garnish on the Blackthorn Marc. Decided to retry the Blood and Sand, same recipe I used previously but substituting the Asyla for the Glenlivet OK Asyla must be bottled by Apple with added unicorn dust. I finished this off before I could get this posted.
luvdunhill Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 2 oz dry vermouth 1 oz kirschwasser 1 tsp raspberry syrup Shake and strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a cherry.
morphsci Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 Mamie Taylor Cocktail 2 oz Asyla Scotch 3/4 oz Lime Juice (fresh) Fill 6 oz flute with Fentimans Ginger Beer, stir, garnish with lime wedge Thank you, I will have another.
Voltron Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Glad you liked Dinny's favorite, Mike. I had a nice big Sidecar with Pellehaut Armangac and it merely whetted my appetite. I'm handicapped because I moved tons of booze to Mayberry and I am in SF. Oh well, I should be able to figure something out.
luvdunhill Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 Mamie Taylor Cocktail 2 oz Asyla Scotch 3/4 oz Lime Juice (fresh) Fill 6 oz flute with Fentimans Ginger Beer, stir, garnish with lime wedge Thank you, I will have another. I was just about to recommend this one. That recipe exactly too.
luvdunhill Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 2 oz dry vermouth 1 oz kirschwasser 1 tsp raspberry syrup Shake and strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a cherry. That would be "The Rose"
Voltron Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Preakness Cocktail 2oz Old Rip Van Winkle 107 proof 1oz Petrucchi red vermouth Benedictine to taste -- .25oz Angostura bitters to taste -- two healthy dashes Lemon twist Edited February 1, 2011 by Voltron
luvdunhill Posted February 1, 2011 Report Posted February 1, 2011 All those Kirsch drinks were nice. The layering with the sweet vermouth and Kirsch was especially nice.
morphsci Posted February 1, 2011 Author Report Posted February 1, 2011 I'm such a sheep. Sweet-N-Hot Bourhatten, slightly modified with Carpano Antica filling in for the Dolin.
