Found the Stork Club reprint and Waldorf-Astoria bar books for a good price and bought them, both nice hardcover editions.

Decided to use the rest of the Benedictine on a extra large Cocktail a la Louisiane, with Cocchi Torino and Handy and two bar spoons of St. George and Peychaud's. Yum!

Indeed. Even more if you count the number of wires going to each cup

I guess I could hook them up to a distortion analyzer and be within the guidelines.

Any idea if it could be the bulb?

That's a big cocktail. I think Cynar might fit into that somehow as a sub. Nice!

Man, this is a fantastic drink! (wish I had some Ritt 100 it's a good choice here, as it takes a back seat in this drink) Monte Cassino by Damon Dyer 3/4 oz Bénédictine 3/4 oz yellow Chartreuse 3/4 oz freshly-squeezed lemon juice 3/4 oz Rittenhouse 100-proof rye whiskey. Mix the ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice, then strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

There is no way I could borrow something and not open it, so I'm out. Looks fun though!

Nice, that last pair looks much better in my living room

Vintage Silver Julep Cup from here, using "Ebay Bucks". Just one. But they look nice and seem like a reasonable deal. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140602657243

Heh, looks like something Mikhail would use (output "range" of 5v)?

An Aquavit Corpse Reviver, which turned out very good.

Corpse Reviver #2, a classic.

Oh and. Has anyone found a non lame 'chocolate martini 'receipe?

Ah. Yeah, i have some. What about brandied cranberries? I wonder if that would work.

A proper caiphi. Yum. Aged cachaca is very nice.

Ok, I've been meaning to ask this for a while. So, what kind of cherries are those? They are more like cranberry size. I mean, we only get Bing and Ranier cherries around here, so, why are they so small?

Two Strawberries, One Sugar cube, and 3 oz. Dark Rum.

It's quite the ergonomic piece of wood. Next I need the proper glassware and this drink really does need to be served with a spoon, if you use sugar cubes.

Larry, one could say that would be seminal research...

Mint Julep

Yeah, I never trust those recommendations at all. Good luck!

Learn how to pack them in the box helps too. I'd recommend to the OP to sell them (disclosing the issue obviously) and buying another pair.

good question in fact.

Ha!
