Voltron Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Saratoga with 1.5oz each of brandy and rye, 1oz of vermouth, and 3 dashes of bitters. Fuckin' delicious! *rosemary from the garden purely decorative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Nice Saratoga Al. I just made one a little smaller than yours (1:1:3/4) also taking Shelly's suggestion to go lighter on the vermouth. I agree 100%, delicious. I knew it sounded great as it is a Vieux Carre without the Benedictine and Peychaud's bitters, which is one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny you should say that about the Vieux Carre, because the Heaven's Dog bartender said the same thing. I think of it as a 2:1 Manhattan with half brandy or cognac, which is a little easier to order at most bars. I am now finishing off the High Water IPA, which was very tasty with pizza for dinner.

shellylh Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Thumbs up for the S&C Grog and Saratogas! Both great drinks.

morphsci Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Yep a 2:1 Manhattan will work also. These cocktails remind me of living in the south with all the intertwined genealogies And mini-vesper FTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
