Never run heater traces on the PCB. Period. End of subject. Pass the scotch.

Yeah, I was. Very cool place and had some nice live music to boot. In fact I got an unexpected compliment when the bar tender asked which bar I worked at They were slammed and kept getting shitty drink requests from bitchy women, so I felt a little bad for them. Lots of people were complaining about the wait time too. Also, they do punches by the bowl (and a few ready made ones) which is really cool I think. Today I'm speaking (twice) then taking some important folks to B&B. It's a busy day. Nice thing is, it's downhill from here till Friday.

Some stuff with Creme Yevette. An Aviation and some free drink. Tastes like Absinthe and Genever? This place rocks, got a number of experimental drinks... Nice place Al

The Last Word With Lagavulin. Fantastic.

It's the Clock Bar at Westin St Francis. It's a very very nice bar, and impressive bar tenders. The one that poured me a C note of booze is sponsored by Bols Genever (!)

Chicago Fizz at the Rickhouse

This: But not this: I enjoyed my trip to K&L

moar drinkgs. inglcuding something with sloe gin. it was good. this is a good bar. al rules.

A variation on a classic, the "First Word": 309 gin, yellow chartreuse and lemon I'd guess In my fucking hotel too. This city is the best Al.

Flying to San Francisco. MOA3 is this week, right?

The Communist 1 oz gin 1 oz fresh orange juice 0.5 oz Heering 0.75 oz lemon juice Shake and double strain Very nice drink!

Blood and Sand 1 oz scotch 1 oz fresh orange juice 3/4 oz Heering (1/2 oz + 1 tsp) 3/4 oz Carpano (1/2 oz + 1 tsp) Shake and double strain. Very, very yummy

Update: Out of all the drinks in Forgotten, I've tried 75%. I've also started a list for Anvil, and I have the ingredients to make 75% of the drinks on hand. Sorta a random coincidence, but that's how it turned out.

MyTouch + Valentines Day = Apple? ok, apparently I'm the only one in the gutter here

Wait, that particular juxtaposition resulted in an Apple implication???

Heering and Grapefruit Bitters

grrr.. them's fighting words.

Maybe it's a "Lamb Peris"?

Meyer lemons might work well too. I like this one, has potential.

What the heck is a lamb cigar?

Nice Jim! Give the Mother-In-Law and the Picon Punch a try as well The orgeat is good. The drink is pretty complex. I think I wouldn't recommend the combo of the Blackstrap and the cane sugar. It's a bit much in an already sweet drink. It's a nice punch though to relax with. I'm on the second glass. Oh and the champagne just works perfect here, very nice interplay of flavors.

Crimean Cup a la Marmora 2 broad slices of lemon peel 1 tsp sugar (1 sugar cube) 0.5 oz dark rum (Cruzan Blackstrap) 1 oz brandy 0.5 oz maraschino liqueur 0.5 oz rum 2 oz orgeat syrup 0.5 oz lemon juice 4 oz soda 3 oz chilled champagne Muddle peels with sugar cube and dark rum. Add everything else except the champagne and stir vigorously. Pour into 2 glasses with 3 large cubes of ice. Divide champagne between glasses.

I quite enjoyed that one myself

yes, yes, yes! thanks!

Shelly, you don't perhaps use one of those glass conical shaped drip coffee makers? The design from the 20's or whatever. I cannot remember what those are called for the life of me, anyone know?
