Thanks! We tried out a "new" restaurant (Branch Water Tavern http://www.branchwatertavern.com/) with great food and a really nice bar that I will have to check out some more in the future... lots of bourbon/ryes and nice cocktails.

Happy Anniversary to Shelly and hubby!

Happy Anniversary Shelly and hubby! Congrats!

I hope you had a bourbon & branch! Seems kind of obvious, but maybe not the most exciting. Come to think of it, I have never ordered that at Bourbon & Branch so I can't really complain, but there ain't no branch water handy in these parts.

Congrat Shelly. Tonight shall be... absinthe cocktail night. Possibly mixed in with a couple (dozen?) shots of whiskey.

Great Divide 17th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA

Grats Shelly!

Drinking Abita 25th Anniversary Vanilla Doubledog. Turbodog has always been a cheap available fave of mine so this is nice. Still very much the same style just refined in some ways, and stronger.

Remember the Maine. Taking a deeper dive into the cocktail dark side.....

Unfortunately, no lemon for a garnish. I am but an egg.

Congrats to Shelly and Hubby!

Nice Mike. The glass looks like it has a perfect frost. Approved!

Very nice Mike!

Al: I've never had Bourbon and Branch. Looking up the recipe it seems to be bourbon and a lot of water??? Watery bourbon sounds yuck. Maybe would be ok with sparkling water?

Branch water is technically the same water used to bring the Bourbon to proof. In reality any filtered water should work fine as the goal is to not change the character of the Bourbon. You are only supposed to use a splash.

@Shelly; what he said^

@Mike: excellent work Padawan!

That sounds a lot better than 1:2 ratio of bourbon to water!

Having a little Knickerbocker before dinner.

Mikkeller Green Gold IPA....better than a lot of their other IPA offerings...

Just for Marc, it's Fernet Branca Night!

First, a shooter with ginger beer back.

And close your eyes Shelly, I don't want you to be sick.
