lperry Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 From the Grog Log, and requiring a blender, a Port Light. My homemade passionfruit syrup is not as sweet as Trader Vic's, so I added 1/4 ounce of vanilla syrup per drink and then hit it with the peach bitters. It all worked really nicely with the bourbon.

lperry Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Last night, mojitos with demerara syrup and Barbancourt blanc. Delicious. I don't know why I waited so long to buy the demerara sugar. It goes perfectly with rich rums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lperry Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 A Jasper's Jamaican, only the cupboard is currently without Jamaican rum (sad but true), so I used Barbancourt. So I suppose it is Henri's Haitian. A nice introduction to the allspice dram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMango Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Counter Culture's Idido Misty Valley coffee brewed with chunks of Penzey's Cassia cinnamon. This cup has a touch of warmed goat milk and a whisper of simple syrup made from a vanilla bean pod (Mexico). I may never leave my house again. Well, not before the caffeine kicks in anyway. *yum* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMango Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Half Counter Culture Peaberry Microlot, Half Chocolate Mint Teeccino, with a touch of battery acid (!). Like most mornings, I went to foam my heated goat milk with my somewhat ancient Aerolatte. I guess the last washing was a little too aggressive. When it would not turn on this morning, I opened the battery case, revealing a scary, acidic mess. Oh well, it's a good day for new fingerprints anyway.

lperry Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Lperry's Christmas cranberry cocktail take one. Riffing on a sour, 2 parts vodka, 1 part cranberry liqueur, 1 part lime, pimiento dram, orange bitters. Pretty good and fallish, but it needed a bit of simple to balance the sour. Suggestions welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leleboo Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Cabernet sauvignon. My parents just got to town and brought an incredibly old bottle of Johnny Walker Gold Label.

This came from my grandfather's bar and hadn't been carefully handled in any way; it was starting to evaporate despite being corked, so my dad figured, why not bring it up and try it this holiday.

Def. drinkable, and def. superior to new, actually. I would argue that the "better"nes is due to the decline in JWB rather than any imporvement occuring in the bottle. I have some old bottles around the house of commercial stuff and it tastes exactly as I remember it tasting when I used to think that brand cool. But then I drink the same brand today and it is swill. On the other hand, any bottles of good stuff {great single malts, Willets, small batch bourbon etc} just seem to disappear on their own so I can never test if they improve in the bottle for more than a week or two. Funny that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha. Really, the fact that the bottle somehow moved from St. Louis to Boston to South Carolina and didn't explode is impressive. My folks really aren't connoisseurs of scotch; as long as it's on the rocks, for the most part, they're fine. And mom won't drink anything "too strong."

leleboo Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 Dubonnet rouge on the rocks, lemon twist. Had dinner on Saturday during my trip to Beantown at the house of one of my best friends, who happens to be the friend who introduced me to this aperitif. She was telling me that she and her husband got a case at the Québec border on their way home from their annual Thanksgiving trip, and she hadn't realized that the Québecois Dubonnet has a lower ABV than what you get here in the States. "Although for that much less money," she noted, "I don't care what the ABV is!" I hadn't seen her and her husband since last New Year's, which we spent with them in Montréal (as celebration of my birthday, really). I only got to see them for a few hours this weekend, as she hosted dinner for me and two couples of mutual friends: my sis- and bro-in-law (with their one-year-old) and another couple (with their four-month-old). I really, really, really miss my friends. *cheers* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
