luvdunhill Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Yum Shelly! Still sipping the Old Tom. It's tasty. I want to say the Vintage was right at $50 with the key and cash discounts... Edited March 23, 2011 by luvdunhill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) The vintage 17 here is about 50% costlier. ^^^ Nice. That is too bad. Seems to always be on sale at the local place here. Perhaps I should pick up a few bottles before they raise they price. By the way Marc, let me know if you want me to pick something up for you. Don't know if you are in Houston much but it shouldn't be too hard to ship something your way if you cannot pick it up.

luvdunhill Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Silver Sloe Gin Fizz 1 1/2 ounces Sloe gin 3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice 1/2 ounce simple syrup 1 egg white Dash orange bitters Top with soda water Mix all ingredients but soda water in shaker tin. Shake with ice until chilled. Strain into a highball glass with four ice cubes (yeah I know it's a Collins) Top with soda water, and garnish with an orange slice and a maraschino cherry. Well, I went a bit overboard on that egg I guess. This is a fantastic drink! Edited March 24, 2011 by luvdunhill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 21st Amendment Back in Black I specifically wanted to have this tonight, for no particular reason, and drove to my local store only to find none on the shelves. On a whim I checked the cooler, which has fairly little craft beer, and found a pack that was barely holding together. Yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 *Anvil* East India Cocktail Seems that there are two variations (one with raspberry syrup and one with pineapple gomme/syrup... the Anvil list calls for pineapple gomme). I didn't have any pineapple syrup/gomme so I made one with raspberry syrup and one with pineapple juice (but doubled the amount of juice). Both good but I prefer the one with raspberry syrup - that is just how I roll. 3/2 oz Cerbois VSOP Armagnac 1/4 oz Monin Raspberry syrup (drink 1) or 1/2 oz pineapple juice (drink2) 1 dash Angostura bitters 1/2 tsp Senor Curacao 1/2 tsp Luxardo Maraschino liqueur This, but with DIY raspberry gomme. This is definitely a texture I like. Gomme is a PITA to make, and not cheap. I made up some pineapple and raspberry, but next time I will leave this to the pros...

luvdunhill Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Yeah, I was playing around with dry shaking (ahem) and extra large eggs (I know) and ended up with a lot of foam. That acacia gum is insanely sticky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Royal Morning Glory Fizz 2 oz Scotch whisky 1/2 tsp absinthe juice of 1 lemon 1 tsp powdered sugar 1 egg (whole) carbonated water Similar mixing process as the above fizz, but with yolk. Ok, but not great. I love egg flavor but it perhaps needs a stronger scotch? Metropole 1.5 oz cognac 1.5 oz french vermouth 2 dashes Peychauds 1 dash orange bitters 1 dash cherry bitters It's good, but perhaps this is a case where Vya is a bit much? Dunno, I like it for what it is! Edited March 24, 2011 by luvdunhill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
