What Did You Drink Today (non-wine) #2?

[StephanieL]

A beautiful Chrysanthemum to mark the start of spring.

• 2 oz. dry vermouth
• 1 oz. Benedictine
• 3 dashes absinthe

Stir with ice, strain into a chilled coupe glass, and garnish with a twist of orange.

[Vecchiouomo (Tim Irvine)]

Botanist and Dolin dry 3:1 martinis.

[StephanieL]

Rome with a View

• 1 oz. Campari
• 1 oz. dry vermouth
• 1 oz. lime juice
• 3/4 oz. regular simple syrup or 1/2 oz. rich simple syrup
• Soda water

Shake with ice and strain into an ice-filled Collins glass. Top with soda water and garnish with an orange wheel.

[StephanieL]

A “Greta Garbo” daiqiuri–essentially a regular daiquiri with a few added dashes of absinthe.

[StephanieL]

Lots of Manischewitz Blackberry wine, along with a shot of K for P slivovitz for good measure.

[StephanieL]

Homemade ginger beer with a float of Kaniche Barbados rum.

[Vecchiouomo (Tim Irvine)]

A mint julep with a half jigger of Frapin cognac at the bottom, topped up with my son in law’s new bottled in bond, Milam and Green.

Mai Tai - I did half orgeat and half passion fruit syrup to mix it up.

[StephanieL]

The Añejo Highball:

• 1 1/2 oz. aged rum
• 1/2 oz. Curacao
• 1/4 oz. lime juice
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 2 oz. ginger beer

Fill a highball glass with ice. Add the first 4 ingredients, stir, then add the ginger beer.

Bombay white martinis, 3:1 with Dolin dry. Large Mezzetta olive. Shaken 38 times. Mmmmmm. Perfect accompaniment was black pepper Boursin on fairly plain crackers. Cold gin and spice have a natural affinity, as good as potato chips and Champagne.

Bailey’s and Irish whiskey on the rocks

[Meekah]

Orange crush: vodka, triple sec (I used dry curaçao because I didn’t have any triple sec and I couldn’t find my Grand Marnier ) Fresh OJ and sprite, all over crushed ice in a Tervis tumbler. Very refreshing, and surprisingly potent.

[brisket44]

Paper Plane. Equal parts bourbon, Aperol, Amaro and lemon juice (well maybe a little extra bourbon)

[kaleokahu (Kaleo)]

Is that a tennis ball?

[brisket44]

Haha, half a lime, supposed to represent an island and a sprig of mint to represent a palm tree but I had no mint

[kaleokahu (Kaleo)]

Gilligan’s Island.

[Meekah]

I just go with a straw it a wee festive paper umbrella attached to it. I do love Mai Tais.

[Mr_Happy]

Today I had a Puka Punch from Smuggler’s Cove in SF.

[Mr_Happy]

And also a glass of Kō Hana Kea Kea, an agricole rhum from Hawaii. It was quite nice.

[Meekah]

Limoncello over ice because the bottle wasn’t in the fridge/freezer . TBH I like my own homemade limoncello and Limecello a lot more. But that means I have to make some.
