  1. Starting off light with Anvil # 83 Sherry Cobbler using the Wondrich recipe via Al in post # 97. It's light and fruity and kind of uninspiring. I wouldn't turn one down on a hot day though.
  2. I think someone needs to take two for the team.
  3. Good luck in your quest.
  4. Looks great John, especially the dragon roll. Mmmm squid. How was it?
  5. ^^^^ Agreed.
  6. x2 on both
  7. Ouch on the fine and points Mike. Sorry about your refrigerator Shelly, but now you can shop for one based upon it's ice making capabilities. Physical therapy pain sucks Jacob, but Yay for being healed enough to start
  8. @HDen - Check Post # 19491 in the original what are you drinking now thread. That was what Inused for my Gin Rickey but I also used the Ransom Old Tom Gin. @Shelly - Overproof rum FTW @Colin - NO! Anvil # 31 Fernet Branca and Non-anvil Toronto The Fernet Branca is a shot of Fernet Branca, which besides being a shot and not a cocktail, tastes like I sprayed my mouth with the cleanser I use on our kitchen counters. The Toronto on the other hand is pretty good. Fernet Branca is like Campari, not that they taste that much alike, in that it has a distinctive flavor that may take some getting used to. Anyway, the Toronto is a real cocktail by Jamie Boudreau. ** 2 oz rye **
  9. Yep the Dandelion and burdock is really weird, but in a good way. I think their Ginger Beer is my favorite right now.
  10. Nice drinks from a nice bar Al. I miss good bars. Sorry for your loss (of ice) Shelly. Seems like you are making the bet fit anyway. Anvil # 23 Cuba Libre Combine in an iced highball glass. **3 oz Smith & Cross Navy Strength Rum (Aaaargh) **Juice of 1/2 lime. Fill with Fentimans Curiosity Cola. Garnish with a lime wedge.
  11. That is a nice looking Blinker Al. Started today early with a before dinner aperitif. Anvil # 6 Aperol Spritz 2 oz. Prosecco or other sparkling wine 1 1/2 Aperol Orange Liqueur 1 dash(es) Soda or Seltzer The perfect Spritz is prepared in a wine glass, or rock glass. Add ice, Prosecco, dash of seltzer and top with Aperol. This is to avoid that the Aperol settles on the bottom. Garnish with a slice of orange. I doubled the above amounts. 10 more to go.
  12. Earlier for lunch. Miso Soup Salad with Ginger Dressing Oishi Wasabi Roll Chirashizushi
  13. Good choice on the reposada tequila Al. Will definitely try the La Partida reposada with this again. Anvil # 50 Margarita **1 1/2 oz silver Tequila (I used anejo) **1 oz triple sec (I used Clement Creole Shrub for variety) **1/2 oz lime juice Shake with ice and strain into a salt-rimmed and chilled cocktail glass.
  14. So I tried 1/2 tsp Campari to 1 tsp Carpano audits too sweet. At 1 tsp each it tastes too much like Campari. The best I could do was back to the 1/2:1 with 3 dashes Angostura bitters. Still off but definitely closer. Anvil # 30 El Diablo 1 1/2 oz. Tequila 1/2 oz. Cr
  15. Shelly - Actually it could work but I'm not sure of the proportions. 1:2 (Campari:Carpano) is probably as high as I would go. I will do a little taste test after I finish my Anvil # 24 Daiquiri **2 oz light rum **1 oz lime juice **1/2 oz simple syrup **a lime wedge (apply as garnish before serving). Shake with ice and strain into an ice-filled wine glass. Add three drops of orange flower water on top. This is probably the best daiquiri I have ever had. The sample size is pretty small though. I have definitely changed my thoughts on the Tiki type drinks.
  16. So I am liking the s95 a lot. A question for those in the know. Is the Franiec grip a worthwhile addition to the s95's useability?
  17. ^^^ OK. That made me laugh a lot more than it should have.
  18. Jerry also lists all of the Toddys as either cold or hot. It was in the teens the other night so hot suited me. I do agree that some bitters may have been good in there. That sounds like a really cool book Al, I will keep an eye out for a copy at less than $250. Also for the cocktail family I just bought some recreated Bokers Bitters at Cocktail Kingdom.
  19. Happy Happy Birthday Birthday Gentlemen.
  20. @Mike - Party on my man. @John - Nice. I will be interested in your impressions.
  21. Marc - I make my grenadine a little less sweet as I like it to have more of a pomegranate taste. That being said the secret cocktail was not my favorite. Nice manly drink there pirate Al ..... Aaarrggh! Anvil # 59 Morning Glory (Fizz) Based upon the ingredients listed in the Anvil list this is the Morning Glory Fizz and not the Morning Glory Cocktail. Juice of 1/2 lemon or a lime. (I used lime) **1/4 oz powdered sugar **an egg white **2 dashes absinthe **1 1/2 oz Scotch whisky Shake and strain into tumbler. Fill with seltzer. This is OK but so far the Jack Rose wins tonight.
  22. Nice sling Al and thanks for the cocktail history. So it had to be done sooner or later, Anvil # 70 Pink Lady I used the recipe from Dr. Haigh, but don't look it up under pink lady because he lists it under the secret cocktail. **1 1/2 oz London dry gin **1/2 oz applejack **Juice of 1/2 lemon. **an egg white **2 dashes pomegranate or grenadine (I used 1 tsp) Shake in an iced cocktail shaker and strainh into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a Maraschino cherry. Hmmm ... Not bad. And my manhood appears to be still intact without referring to it as the secret cocktail.
  23. I better have two.
