Poured out the Blackthorn and made myself a Boulevardier:
3/2 oz Rare Breed Wild Turkey (barrel proof) bourbon
1 oz Campari
1 oz Carpano Antica sweet vermouth
Mmmmm much better.
A Blackthorn Cocktail (this one from "Vintage" and quite different from the Anvil-Irish Blackthorn). Not really sure how I feel about this drink yet.
2 oz Old Raj gin
3/4 oz Dubonnet Rouge
3/4 oz Schwarzwalder Kirschwasser
I use Bob's Red Mill SCO and it takes about 20 minutes on the stove (after the water has boiled). Making them in the microwave sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
Good looking stuff Mikey, Raffy, and Al.
Earlier:
Real Ale Lost Gold IPA on draught (not my pic)
Now:
2008 La Posta Pizzella Malbec (also not my pic) - good but I think I might prefer the Cocina.... could just be the meal though.
Same as Jim plus...

*Hoping* to get slightly better pictures than the LX5 (especially with moving subjects with low light) with a slightly smaller camera than the D90 + 18-200 lens (for some travel)
