Do you mean 30 degrees fahreheit or celcius?

That might work. I'll try them on next time I am out.

Looks like I may need to get some slip on shoes for post hip surgery (no tying shoes for a long time). Any favorites? I have a pair of Birkenstocks but since it will be winter, I thought sandals might be a little chilly. Guess I can always get more smart wool socks.

Oh, right.

What is this winter you speak of?

The Derby 1 oz Blanton's Bourbon 1/2 oz Cocchi di Torino sweet vermouth 1/2 oz Senor Curacao 1/2 oz lime juice (recipe called for 3/4 oz but I like it this way) Should garnish with a spring of mint but I didn't have one. This is a nice drink but would probably be better with a better orange liqueur. I tried to stick with a "true" curacao but the Senor Curacao just doesn't hold up to any of the other orange liqueurs I have in the house. Still a nice drink.

That sucks. I guess you are not moving in?

Of course, since I just sent him to the waivers.

Would be happy to trade for regular FFF or other good things. I am pretty sure they we have plenty around here but I would have to wait til Monday to verify (since the place I got it is closed on Sundays - by Texas law). PM me with what you got.

The only thing you are doing wrong is making a dry manhattan instead of a regular manhattan and using Noilly Prat (not a favorite). What kind of sweet vermouth options do you have around you? Carpano Antica, Cocchi di Torino, Vya are all very good (in that order IMO).

Is there some sort of buy a really nice beer, get a really nice watch free deal going on in FL?

Love the Utah pics Peter.

Albert Pujols hits his third homer of the night! Celebrating with Amrut.

Moar punch (need to mix as many drinks as I can before I am an invalid). Old Sydney-Town Punch Followed Al's recipe in post Also didn't have any Meyer lemons (saw them at the store but didn't get one ). 1.5 oz Bols Genever 0.5 oz St. Elizabeth’s Allspice Dram 0.75 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice 0.5 oz fresh squeezed orange juice 0.5 oz Small Hand Foods Pineapple Gum Syrup Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass, fill with ice and shake well for 10 seconds. Strain into a punch glass and serve up with a slight grate of nutmeg. As Al said, this drink is awesome. I love Allspice Dram.

Have fun guys.

(A version of) Mississipi Punch (with Arrack instead of bourbon). [i cut the recipe in half since it was before dinner.] It was excellent! 1 oz Germain Robin Craft Method brandy 1/2 oz Brugal 1888 rum 1/4 Batavia-Arrack juice of 1/4 lemon 1/4 oz simple syrup garnish: orange slice

That's unfortunate.

Why would you do something like that?

^I am hoping it is more like it Hoosier mother than its Scottish father.

Look, you seem to be a reasonable person. I'll be honest with you. Guess I am feeling nice. Nobody here knows anything about the Gamemaster whatever they are and nobody cares. The only headphones that I would get for under $150 would be the Etymotic ER4P if you can find them that cheap, or Sennheiser PX100ish sort of thing. I am guessing that you will probably be disappointed with any serious recommendations you get here so you should probably just ignore this.

Tom Bihn Brain Bag Nice bag Shelly. I've almost pulled the trigger on one a few times.

Should we add it to the name that drink thread?

Get this:

Manhattanlike beverage (shouldn't there be a special name for a Manhattan with bourbon instead of rye?) 2 oz Blanton's bourbon 1 oz Cocchi di Torino sweet vermouth 2 dashes Fee Brothers Whiskey Barrel Aged bitters 2 Griottines cherries This is a nice drink. I do like the Blanton's. The Whiskey Barrel Aged bitters are awesome.
