Is that a lychee on the stick? Looks odd in the pic.

That is the name of the Martini, Lychee Martini, so I am guessing that is what it is.

Twin Sisters IPA.

blood orange manhattan

eagle rare

extra dry vermouth

blood orange bitters

maraschino cherry

Nice Dan. I don't usually make a Dry Manhattan (half or all dry vermouth) but have you ever used an olive or lemon instead of a cherry?

I'd never garnished my manhattan before, and I only have dry vermouth in the house.

CCB Jose Marti Porter

A Manhattan (perfect) (Inspired by Dan)

2 oz Templeton Rye

1/2 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth

1/2 oz Carpano Antica

3 dashes Cherry Bitters

Stir until icy cold then strain into a pre chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon.

Very nice Dan and Jim! I am not sure what I think about Jeff's drink though....

Springbank 21

Forgot to post my Anvil drink last night:

Champs Elysees

1 1/2 oz Camus Cognac

1/2 oz Green Chartreuse

3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

1/8 ounce Agave syrup

2 dashes Angostura bitters

Not my favorite but not bad.

Nice, was one of my favs a while ago (old version)

Cheers,

I had the same inspiration as Jim and made essentially the same drink in the form of a Savoy Manhattan Cocktail No. 1, although I had to double the rye.

Manhattan Cocktail (No. 1)

Use small Bar glass.

2 Dashes Curacao or Maraschino.

1 Pony Rye Whisky (ok, two pony glasses of Russell's Rye)

1 Wineglass Vermouth (Mixed -- Dolin Dry and Perucchi Italian)

3 Dashes Angostura Bitters (3 dashes Fees Old Fashioned Bitters)

Shake up well (stir), and strain into a claret glass. Put a quarter of a slice of lemon In the glass and serve. If preferred very sweet add two dashes of gum syrup.

Last drops of Eagle Rare.

Get 'em all Dinny!

Nice Al, I almost tried that one myself. Way to triumph over the Eagle Dinny

Now, The Fourth Regiment Cocktail

  3 oz rye whiskey

  1 oz sweet vermouth

  1 dash celery bitters

  1 dash Angostura bitters

  1 dash orange bitters

Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass.

Garnish with a lime twist.

Perfect Manhattan, same as Jim (except with Wild Turkey Rye) and also inspired by Dan... does not suck.

Avery Samael's Ale 2006, Rochefort 10 & Dogfish Head Burton Baton...

Following Jim is the theme for the night so I made a Fourth Regiment to kill off the Russell's Rye, which i will not buy again. Had only 2oz so I adjusted down, and rhubarb is practically celery, right?

Note: l took out the eyes before drinking so as not to choke on them.

awe... cute

fun for the whole family.

Nice Manhattan Shelly and definitely extra points on the garnish Al.

what's the verdict on the Templeton Rye?...last I heard Binny's was getting some in, but I haven't seen it in Indy yet...

I'm still reserving judgement. One note against it is that it is only 80 proof. Now if you are selling it as a prohibition recipe rye then I would have expected a higher proof. I will likely do some ungarnished and unvarnished tasting this evening.

The "prohibition era recipe" means "add water to extend it." Fuck 80 proof rye. Even that Russell's crap is 90 proof.

I'm not totally opposed to 80 proof alcohol. I can always just mix up two.
