Cocktails of the Day!

Before dinner: HC Rum Old Fashioned

Wow, the Smith and Cross is really a lot different than I imagined and it packed quite a kick. Not sure I should have been drinking this on an empty stomach. I am not sure I am a fan of the S&C yet, it will take some time to get used to it.

2 oz Smith & Cross Navy Strength rum

1 sugar cube

2 dashes of Angostura bitters

1 dash of sparkling water

After dinner:

Jack Rose (Anvil)

3/2 oz Calvados XO (sub for applejack)

3/4 oz lemon juice

2 dashes of homemade grenadine

I thought this drink was quite bland and not worth drinking out poured it out. Maybe it was the Calvados, maybe too much lemon. Not a fan.

Knickerbocker a la Monsieur

I also used Smith & Cross in this but it worked better because it was more than rum and a bitter of sugar/bitters. Still gives quick a kick though. I also really like this drink.

3/2 oz Smith and Cross rum

1/2 oz Senior Curacao

1/2 oz Monin Raspberry syrup

3/4 oz Meyer lemon juice

Splash of pineapple juice

2 dashes of cherry bitters

Heh, maraschino can be dangerous, but when it works it's pretty good.

After the Jasmine, which contains gin, Campari, Cointreau, and lemon and being underwhelmed I tried a slight twist.

(Not At All A) Jasmine

1.5 oz Reposado Tequila

0.75 oz lime juice

0.5 tbsp Cointreau

0.5 tbsp Campari

Shake with ice and double strain.

I think it's nice. Maybe add a bit of simple syrup depending on your preferences.

Edit: nah, it's just right

Try the Jasmine with lime and a bit more gin. I used tanqueray.

Marc: What does your weird concoction taste like?

Al: How do you like the Perucchi vermouth?

Cooking with Shelly (a Cooking with Colin spinoff)

A glass of 2009 Parker Estate Cabernet Sauvignon with dinner.

Tonight I made some Tuscan Lemon Grilled Chicken, with roasted sweet potatoes (sprinkled with oil oil, brown sugar, salt and pepper), and roasted green beans (with onions, garlic, sprinkled with olive oil, salt, pepper and a little parmesan at the end). Tasted much better than it looks in the picture.
