Bourbon Dynasty
2 oz Bourbon
1 oz Lillet (Cocchi)
1 tsp crème de cassis
2 dashes of Peychaud’s bitters
lemon peel garnish (orange peel)
Margarita
Equal parts Tequila, Shrubb and Lime. On the rocks.
My first attempt at quite a few things in this pic...
Seared Tuna.
Cooked first side at 800F for 1 minute, flipped and did the same on the other side. I just covered it with a bit of olive oil prior to this. Tasted good, so now I'm hunting around for some other recipes that expand on this a bit
Jim, this one is much better than the Aperol Sour, good call. The Cointreau is the key. Still, it's probably not worth the effort over the Aperol and Soda, assuming you like the Aperol taste.
Any other good Cassis drinks that don't involve Champaign?
Well, this Warday's is much different!
I think I would have liked the Ransom / Carpano combo better, but this isn't bad. Better than the first, which was much more calvados biased.
Also, the Aperol Sour is very meh. Not recommended, it's better with a good sparkling water, IMHO.
Another Cocktail Challenge!
Warday’s Cocktail (from EE via Savoy)
1 Teaspoonful Chartreuse. (1 tsp Green Chartreuse)
1/3 Italian Vermouth. (3/4 oz Carpano Antica Vermouth)
1/3 Dry Gin. (3/4 oz Boomsa)
1/3 Calvados or Apple Brandy. (3/4 oz Calvados)
Shake (I stirred) well and strain into cocktail glass.
I go to Vegas typically twice a year for the past 7 years. This year is the first time I won't be going, I'll be in SF instead. I kinda miss it in some respects, I enjoy the grandiose.
Decided to do a quick comparison Jim. To me, Aperol is much more complex than Campari. I'm really liking it. I had a bit of left over white white from dinner that I mixed it with and is nice. Really loving it
I think this one is much better with Punt e Mes. In fact, I think PeM is much better than Dolin Rouge in general. YMMV.
Me? I bought some Aperol today, haven't drunk any yet.
