emelius Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 so Upland has a seasonal Imperial Red called Ard Ri...was able to snag a bomber...then I heard about it being on tap at a couple out of the way places...but then a place by me announced they were tapping Bourbon Barrel Ard Ri...fucking yum... this & my stockpile of KBS pretty much make up for my package not showing... Happy Saint Patrick's Day everybody... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 That recipe did not sound good when Underhill Lounge did it and I still think it sounds wrong. What do you think of the taste? I guess I might try it sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) I've been scooped! Gr. Well, I first used sweet vermouth and then Dolin dry. That sorta didn't work. The Vya does work nice though. My calvados is very assertive, it's the first flavor that you taste. Then comes the scotch and the "dashes" make the aftertaste. The vermouth is the flavor that mixes with each of these stages, so it feels to be the most important. Now, the above uses a much more assertive scotch, so I'm not sure how that would work. Thanks for the link! I'd give it a go I you had time to kill And you know I'm going to try that last one, right after this drink Edited March 18, 2011 by luvdunhill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) I don't have any Calvados here. So I have to make something green or Irish sounding instead. Edit to respond to Edit: I thought you'd like that but also the rum/apple one. Please don't put nutmeg on the arrack/tequila one, though.

Augsburger Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 La Jota Howell Mountain Merlot the 2007 not the 2005 as pictured. Toasting Chuck's memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Tipperary Cocktail (No. 2) 1/6 Orange Juice. 1/6 Grenadine. 1/3 French Vermouth. 1/3 Dry Gin. 2 Sprigs Green Mint. Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. OK, so I doubled his recipe but took Ellestad's advice and did half OJ and half lime juice because I am not a fan of OJ in most cocktails. I had no mint, however, so I threw in a lime garnish for the Green. Toasting Ken's departed friend Gary and Mike's dear brother Chuck, and also celebrating my 84 year old part Irish mother being sprung from the hospital after two days due to a diverticulitis type episode (her third but least serious).

morphsci Posted March 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Nice drinks Marc and Al, will have to try them as soon as possible and toast Gary and Chuck. For tonight no drinking as we are in a hotel in Carlisle, PA on our way to NYC. How is that Irish Single malt Mikeymad?

Voltron Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 (edited) Mike B and Scott are sporting some serious brew collections, and Mikeymad is pulling out the serious Irish. Nice all around, except Colin who needs to drink something better than MD. Moving on to a bastardized Tipperary Cocktail (No. 1) 1/3 Italian Vermouth. 1/3 Green Chartreuse. 1/3 Irish Whisky. Shake (I stirred) well and strain into cocktail glass. I have no Irish whiskey in the house, so Scotch whisky will have to do! Again, Ellestad recommends that it be subbed although the Rattray or the Connemara would of course be great. Cheers again!
