A “Greta Garbo” daiqiuri–essentially a regular daiquiri with a few added dashes of absinthe.
Lots of Manischewitz Blackberry wine, along with a shot of K for P slivovitz for good measure.
Homemade ginger beer with a float of Kaniche Barbados rum.
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.
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
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.
Is that a tennis ball?
Haha, half a lime, supposed to represent an island and a sprig of mint to represent a palm tree but I had no mint
Gilligan’s Island.
I just go with a straw it a wee festive paper umbrella attached to it. I do love Mai Tais.
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.
I had an egg white on hand so today was whiskey sour day - 2oz bourbon, 0.75oz lemon juice, 0.5oz simple syrup, one egg white.
Just learned about Indian inspired cocktails this month. Which led to me seeing this product ad and the recreate at home project.
At a hotel bar, a Manhattan made with Rittenhouse Rye. I was tipsy for quite a while on just that one drink.
