What Mixed Drink Are You Enjoying Today!

[CBoukal]

Testing out my thanksgiving cocktail I’ll be serving on Thursday at my parents. Gunna pre mix it all into a pitcher and serve it punch style. Shaking it up good in a shaker kinda watered it down a bit so I think I’ll just have people pour it over rocks. Also I think I’ll kick up the sweetness by 50% with more cinnamon simple syrup I made to appease the average Joe who doesn’t drink much. But over all a tasty cocktail. Here is the recipe from the four roses cocktail list

the Burnt Reynolds

- 4 dashes of whatever bitters you like
- orange peel
- cocktail cherry
- big ol ice cube

 

[Not A Nice Person]

2 oz Maker’s Mark 101

What's that called Boar? Seems similar to an old fashioned with the exception of the Jack Rudy and sans the orange peel.


The Greek restaurant we went to had amazing mixed drinks as well.

Santorini: Vodka, fresh muddled blueberries, fresh ginger, pomegranate juice, ginger beer.



Kapnos: Casamigos Anejo, Mastiha, honey, lemon, Aegean Sea salt, smoldering/smoked fresh rosemary.

Had an Old Fashioned at Top Golf for the first time. Was told it was horrible according to Donella. All I could taste was booze. When I dropped her off at her place yesterday, she insisted we walk to her local haunt for me to have a proper introduction. It was amazing! The Luxardo cherry, and the twisted orange peel oil definitely make the drink.

I am going to try to replicate this today. Little did I know that a "dash" of bitters actually means 1/5 teaspoon, here I thought it meant a dash?

Followed a recommendation from the young lady at Total Wine and More here in town (they just opened a few weeks ago) and fixed myself an espresso martini. She showed me a recent issue of CA where it was featured and, my-oh-my... that stuff is tasty! Not much of a cocktail drinker, opting rather for bourbon or Single Malt or OVZ, but that was really out of the normal. Consists of 1.5 oz. vodka, 0.5 oz. coffee liqueur and a double shot of espresso, with sweetener being optional -- I didn't need to add any. Shake, strain and enjoy. Too bad it only lasts a few minutes as maybe only a small cigar (thinking LFD Carajos) will suffice.
