  1. Shelly, have you had anything by (512) ?
  2. Looks nice Jim. A bit of Ramazotti might work in lieu of the Fernet. Next, and last is: Oriental Cocktail (Savoy) 1/2 Rye Whisky. 1/4 Italian Vermouth. 1/4 White Curacao. The Juice of 1/2 Lime. Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. Put to good use the new 0.75 oz jigger that arrived today Also, one for the experts. What is the best sub for Dubonnet. Dolin Rouge, Carpano, or Punt e Mes?
  3. You win!! Turn your fax on now!
  4. Welcome to the first installment of...... NAME THAT DRINK!!!!!
  5. Perhaps the difference is thermal stability?
  6. Lairds is quite nice in the right cocktail.
  7. Maple Leaf 2 oz bourbon 0.75 oz lemon juice 0.75 oz maple syrup Oops! I think this is supposed to be on ice. Oh well...
  8. So far: Monkey Gland 3 Dashes Absinthe. (1 tsp) 3 Dashes Grenadine. (2 tsp Homemade Grenadine) 1/3 Orange Juice. (1 1/2 oz Orange Juice) 2/3 Dry Gin. (3 oz Gin) Shake and strain! Hurray for monkey implants! A close relative to the Jack Rose, honestly I like these proportions better: Apple Jack (Special) Cocktail 2/3 Applejack. (2 oz Laird’s Bonded Apple Brandy) 1/6 Grenadine. (1/2 oz home made Grenadine*) 1/6 Lemon Juice. (1/2 oz Lemon Juice) Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. Pisco Punch 2 ounces pisco 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice 3/4 ounce pineapple gomme
  9. Nice Jim! Where do you get brandied cherries?
  10. Well, first these transistors were not hard to get and certainly not expensive at the time. I do like the change though.
  11. What do you mean by revealing? Best impulse response?
  12. Nice! I did a quick tally and I have 11 left in "Vintage" (lacking 7 ingredients) . I have 30 left in Anvil (lacking 7 ingredients). There is only one ingredient between the two sets that overlap.
  13. Royal Morning Glory Fizz 2 oz Scotch whisky 1/2 tsp absinthe juice of 1 lemon 1 tsp powdered sugar 1 egg (whole) carbonated water Similar mixing process as the above fizz, but with yolk. Ok, but not great. I love egg flavor but it perhaps needs a stronger scotch? Metropole 1.5 oz cognac 1.5 oz french vermouth 2 dashes Peychauds 1 dash orange bitters 1 dash cherry bitters It's good, but perhaps this is a case where Vya is a bit much? Dunno, I like it for what it is!
  14. Yeah, I was playing around with dry shaking (ahem) and extra large eggs (I know) and ended up with a lot of foam. That acacia gum is insanely sticky.
  15. This, but with DIY raspberry gomme. This is definitely a texture I like. Gomme is a PITA to make, and not cheap. I made up some pineapple and raspberry, but next time I will leave this to the pros...
  16. Silver Sloe Gin Fizz 1 1/2 ounces Sloe gin 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice 1/2 ounce simple syrup 1 egg white Dash orange bitters Top with soda water Mix all ingredients but soda water in shaker tin. Shake with ice until chilled. Strain into a highball glass with four ice cubes (yeah I know it's a Collins) Top with soda water, and garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry. Well, I went a bit overboard on that egg I guess. This is a fantastic drink!
  17. I thought about this. I have read that this introduces other safety concerns though, but cannot find the article at the moment. Has anyone else heard of this being a problem?
  18. Hm. If I had to choose between a mislabeled cap, or a board manufacturing error, I'd probably assume the latter.
  19. So, I ended up having to split this into separate boards. So, this is just the AC filter. I tried to pay attention to current and voltage requirements on this one, the traces are 3mm traces with 1.7mm trace spacing. The board can accept an on board IEC socket, or a nice heavy duty wire-to-board connector. Opinions?
  20. Yum Shelly! Still sipping the Old Tom. It's tasty. I want to say the Vintage was right at $50 with the key and cash discounts...
  21. It's sold out everywhere (the vintage). It's on sale now, hence the run on stock.
  22. The bourbon is good. It's sweet and not complex, in other words, it's not a cognac. I think it was a good haul. One day I'll get a premium bourbon
  23. Okay, one last drink: Tom Collins 2 oz Tom 1/2 oz lemon juice 8 oz soda 1 tsp rich syrup Pretty much only one way to mix this one. Cheers!
  24. Nice Shelly! Glad it worked out!
