Grown up milkshake, yay!

It's very tasty. The two cocoa Drillauds products are also exceptionally good, if anyone is looking for recommendations.

Despite the ingredients, Al's description is right on. Another one of those transforming cocktails.

I will try one of those shakes but not tonight.

Now in the Williamsburg 'hood. Same recipe but with Pappy 15. Dropping down to 107 proof tames this one quite a bit. Moar approachable.

The Coffee Cocktail

1 oz brandy

1 egg, whole

3 oz ruby port

1 tsp sugar

Pour brandy into iced shaker. Add egg. Add port and sugar. Shake. Strain. Dust with freshly grated nutmeg.

Y+B Malbec 2009 -- also pretty good. I'm going to start rating wines by how cold I need to drink them in order to enjoy them. This one is about 65 Fahrenheit. The Hogue Gewurtztraminer that I had earlier ("...in the year", not "...in the evening") was at least 72, if not higher.

Well......I did make a Manhattan a few times last week but I promise it's only to chip into my Eagle Rare as I really not a big fan of it neat. Seems like I'm not the only one who's not a big fan either - just a little too light tasting and has this scotchy taste to it that I'm not feeling.

Hope I haven't shamed Team FL too much

That's fine, as long as it's lousy whiskey, it might as well get used.

I don't like regular Eagle Rare either, but this year's 17yo Eagle Rare in the antique collection is quite good.

my favorite ice cream ever is a butter pecan made with maker's mark. so good.

Humphry Slocombe in SF makes Secret Breakfast ice cream with bourbon and corn flakes. Awesome stuff.

Crap, I almost grabbed that but didn't due to the price diff. Looking back, I wish I just shelled out the extra $.

Having a Van Winkle Rye right now.....the VW 20yr is still my favorite but this rye is rather excellent too

Yes, yes it is.

Weggy Cebby (Ceylon Breakfast) & My Organic Market Assam == Ceylon Breakfast/Assam bastardization == Sebastian

The Ceylon Breakfast is a tad to brisk for a daily drinker, but I like it every once in a while; the Assam is just a twee too...well, twee. So I thought blending them would make the best of both worlds, but it's like they don't blend. Ah well, still drinkable, at least.

I'm a little late, but amen Mike.

That does sound good.

What the fuck do you know about cocktails, college boy? Red Bull and shit vodka from a plastic 1.75 liter is NOT a cocktail.

so does that cornflake breakfast stuff Al mentioned!

Plus, they have that ice cream at the beer bar at AT&T Park. Good beer and bourbon corn flake ice cream. Mmmm.

Saz 18 perfect manhattan, it's game time.

It is if it's Red Vodka!
