Well, since the last Averna cocktail was pretty fluffy I decided to try Al's Mountain Man modification
2 oz Bulleit Bourbon, 1/2 oz Bonal, 1/2 oz Averna, 2 dashes Bittercube Orange Bitters and a flamed Orange peel as garnish because I still wanted to play with fire.
Ahhhh, much better.
Fior di Sicily
3/4 oz Averna amaro
3/4 oz Carpano Antica
3/4 oz Aperol
3/4 oz St. Germain Elderflower liqueur
Stir and strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a flamed orange peel.
Meh, at least I got to play with fire.
Now you tell me.
BTW, thanks for your previous comment about the planer. I must have gone back and forth between the Ridgid and the Dewalt for 2 hours. I finally picked the Ridgid because I liked the color better glad to know there were better reasons.
It was a good but tiring day. Should have something in other threads shortly.
Drove up to Chicago. Picked up some granite. Met Chris(Pars) and had a nice lunch and some excellent conversation. Also picked up his Pedja Rogic DAC for an inhome listen (thanks again Chris). Did a bit of shopping to restock the liquor cabinet at Binnys. Then drove back to Charleston. Now chilling.
I love my s95. It is plenty small enough and the picture quality is very good. If I really want better I have to break out one of the DSLRs. The way I look at it is that those pictures are once-in-a-lifetime events so I want a camera that I will have with me but that is still capable of taking great pictures in less-than-perfect conditions. If you do decide on the s90/95 make sure to spend the extra bucks on the Franiac grip.
Dark and Stormy
2 oz Gosling's Black Seal Rum
3 oz Gosling's Ginger Beer
Dash of Lime Juice
Build in a highball glass over ice. Garnish witha lime wedge.
Dark and Stormy is nice and tasty.
