However saying that is your endgame rig, especially the 598, makes you a retard, even at 16. Certainly a lesser retard than if you are 26, but a retard nonetheless.
Nice Saratoga Al. I just made one a little smaller than yours (1:1:3/4) also taking Shelly's suggestion to go lighter on the vermouth.
I agree 100%, delicious. I knew it sounded great as it is a Vieux Carre without the Benedictine and Peychaud's bitters, which is one of my favorites.
Glad your mom is doing better Al. More good vibes to your mom and dad.
Scary stuff Dan, glad it turned out to be no more than an interesting future fireplace story.
