ok.
I'll have something posted on 2/1 after I get back and before I leave again. I'll post the values that I used, though for my build. YMMV and all that.
Picon Punch
1 tsp DIY grenadine
2.5 oz DIY Amer Picon
Soda
1 oz brandy
Fill old fashioned with crushed ice. Add grenadine and Picon. Add side but leave enough for 1 oz brandy. Float brandy.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu....
Is it okay to use XO in a cocktail?!

The Liberal

1.5 oz aged rum
0.75 oz fresh lime juice
1 oz honey syrup (0.5 oz honey to 0.5 oz water, heated)

Mix first three ingredients an shake over ice. Heating up the honey helps it mix. Strain and top with Cava. Add dash of Angostura and draw a mint leaf around on top to garnish.
Anvil #1: Absinthe Drip
1 oz Absinthe (St. George)
2 oz water, shaken with ice
1 sugar cube
Slowly pour chilled water across sugar. Discard remaining sugar after 2 oz water is spent.
This place offered to powder coat the screws with a clear coat. They say they do this all the time, just the heads not the threads. I'm not sure what it will look like, but I guess we'll see. Thanks again!
