  1. Well, it is Austin, not San Francisco. For what it's worth, I have had bartenders at Clock do the same thing to me when ordering a 'dealers choice'. I like that bar though, so I guess you'll have to shoot the messenger Playing with the Neapolitan. Not a huge fan in a margarita or with soda. That vegetal taste Al describes isn't great. Any particular receipe recommendations to try?
  2. Then there is evidence that matching doesn't even matter, take Hannes (h_a at DiyA) often disregarded tests using an AP. I'd expect him to take this route in fact, but again he is simply unaware of anything but his own observations and assumptions.
  3. Patience pays off. Just received the sweet anis (Anisette)!
  4. Just saw the 2011 Handy. The others are in route they say. Also, they will be carrying Pappy soon.
  5. Tried to order, but couldn't get my same current pricing from AT&T. I get a 38% discount and have plans no longer offered. So, calling tomorrow I guess to see what I can do.
  6. Not the same thing. Real Peach brandy is not infused, it is made in much the same fashion as calvados is, from lots and lots of fermented fruit. It's not cheap to make. Regardless, it yummy.
  7. Half a lime, 2 tsp castor sugar muddled with 2.5 oz Coruba rum.
  8. Indispensable!
  9. I just realized that wasn't a cheap drink. It was however fannntastic.
  10. Ooooh, it's Peach Brandy. Only made by a single person these days, Kuchan and only sold by K&L. 2 parts cognac and 1 part peach brandy. It's fantastic. Even better is that is the aged version..
  11. Georgia Mint Julep
  12. Cool! If you need help, just ask!
  13. On EBay occasionally.
  14. I have access to the Harbor Freight oven and kit. Haven't used it, but people say it isn't total crap. Prices around here are decent to get it done professionally, as long as you aren't picky about options and timeframe.
  15. I kinda thought the Cynar and Torino proportions needed to be swapped.
  16. That's one possibility, there could be others. Just letting you know that it's likely not the amp's transformer, but poor filtering on the amp PSU combined with some really bad mains voltage.
  17. That means you likely have a larger problem. I'd guess you have a significant DC component on your AC lines.
  18. My initial thought was to use green chartreuse and/or lime. I liked it though in general, and my second idea was to embrace the sweetness and use some unaged whiskey instead of the rye.
  19. Nice! The Blackwood, Rain, Cocchi Vesper was quite impressive. Do you like using the Julep strainer?
  20. Christmas time is coming! Have you been naughty or nice?
  21. Little Italy And yes, I get great satisfaction out of using the same ingredients as Al on this one!
  22. Vesper Cheers Jim!
  23. I'll likely upgrade. Maybe consider another carrier at the same time.
  24. Cool Al! I got the receipe here: http://www.quietdrinking.com/tag/cynar/
