Thought this would be a good place to note that DrinkUpNY is discontinuing its free shipping of orders over $99 to most states on 11/1. I will be placing a "small" order before that date. Just Sayin'.

Germain-Robin Coast Road Reserve - so good and so much better than their Craft Method Brandy (formerly known as Fine Alambic Brandy). This makes me want to try the XO. I am glad I found a supplier that sells more than just the Anno Domini or XO here.

I hope there were bitters in that Manhattan Raffy, else it is not really a manhattan.

The rum Collins looks quite stout Marc with the Wray and Nephew overproof. Not a big fan of the Americano.

I love the name and look of that IPA Al.

Decided for a little nostalgia and made a Violet Hour Aviation

2 oz Junipero Gin

1/2 oz Luxardo Maraschino

1/2 oz Fresh Lime Juice

1/4 oz Creme de Violette

Shake, double strain and garnish with a cherry or two.

I asked Damien why he suggested the lime substitution and he said it was because in his experience the Maraschino worked better with lime than with lemon. I do believe he is on to something.

Yep but just regular Angostura bitters. I couldn't find any better ones at Total Wine when I went there.

With the Americano, is it really just a splash of soda? I think it could work served more in a highball fashion.

Regan uses 2 oz of soda and uses a highball glass, so your instincts are good. I should also add that my previous comment was when using Campari. I definitely need to try it with the Gran Classico.

Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye neat.

You are not messing around tonight sir!

1998 Kalen Semillon. I noticed the cork had some leakage and broke apart as I opened the bottle so figuring the wine was oxidized I poured half of it over my chicken marsala and in another pan a chicken with cajun and chinese mustard sauce. A bit pre mature on that move as the wine tastes fine, a little too much oak but not bad.facepalm.png silly me.

Mikey that must have been some meet, nice selection.
