Thistle Flower (similar to a Negroni)

how is that Shelly? Nice pics as always.

Santa Julia Reserva Malbeca

Whole foods out of Pliny (they had 3 cases last week)

So: Blind Big (RRB)

how is that Shelly? Nice pics as always.

Not my favorite but pretty good. It's quite a bit sweeter than a Negroni.

I guess you need something to cope with the Sous Vide Wait

Don't have any champagne so Parker's 27 will have to do. Cheers, Jacob!

A Mountain Man following Al and Shelly

This is a great cocktail and the name alone makes it worthy of a toast to one of our robot friends. Cheers Jacob!

Thanks to JP for another fantastic brew.

Now having some Ransom gin with a little bitters and a king cube. Cheers Jacob!

What do you think? I have a bottle, but haven't opened it yet.

I really like that wine, it's one of the regulars I pick up at the store.

Martilla

Adapted from a recipe by Bas Verhoeven, Door 74, Amsterdam.

• 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
  
• 1 1/2 ounces añejo tequila
  
• 1 ounce dry vermouth
  
• 3 teaspoons maraschino liqueur
  
• 1 lemon twist, as garnish
  

Instructions: Put the lemon zest in a mixing glass and fill it with cubed ice. Add the remaining ingredients and stir for 10 seconds. Double-strain into a chilled cocktail glass and add the garnish.

Doubled the recipe so I could start watching The Trip, but used Reposado instead of Anejo. Very interesting. Tequila flavor comes through but a bit sweet and lemony. One of the better uses of Maraschino, I would say.

Looks good, will try tonight (although I only have blanco and anejo, no reposado).

The recipe calls for anejo and I think it would be good.

There isn't a single fucking glass of IPA to be had in this whole fucking country.

Having some Ardbeg to ease the sting.

What the fuck is wrong with that place?! You had better start a brewery and bring in Duggeh to help.
