What are you drinking now, pt 2.

Came home from work sick, and was in the mood for fresh squeezed orange juice. I'm drinking it, but it wasn't worth the effort to make as the oranges I bought last week aren't very tasty. :(

Sorry that you're not feeling well :(

Drinking a small negroni. Eating some super ripe cheese.

Nice drink and nice glass Shelly. I think I will use the same glass.

Anvil # 41 Jack Rose

**1 1/2 oz applejack

**Juice of 1/2 lime or lemon (1 oz)

**2 dashes pomegranate or grenadine (I upped it to 1/2 oz after the initial sip)

Shake in an iced cocktail shaker and strain into a cocktail glass.

Garnish with a lime wedge or lemon wedge.

Much better than I expected.

Anvil Action

Singapore Sling from the Raffles Hotel "recipe" which is really an ingredients list that Regan turned into a recipe and added the appropriate soda.

2 ounces Bluecoat gin

1/2 ounce Heering cherry liqueur

1/4 ounce Triple Sec

1/4 ounce Benedictine

2 ounces pineapple juice

1/2 ounce lime juice

2 dashes Angostura bitters

Soda water (optional)

Shake all but the soda with ice and strain into collins glass with new ice and top with soda. Used highball glasses with straw spoons but ran out of time for garnish of orange/pineapple/whatever.

Nice sling Al and thanks for the cocktail history.

So it had to be done sooner or later, Anvil # 70 Pink Lady

I used the recipe from Dr. Haigh, but don't look it up under pink lady because he lists it under the secret cocktail.

**1 1/2 oz London dry gin

**1/2 oz applejack

**Juice of 1/2 lemon.

**an egg white

**2 dashes pomegranate or grenadine (I used 1 tsp)

Shake in an iced cocktail shaker and strainh into a cocktail glass.

Garnish with a Maraschino cherry.

Hmmm ... Not bad. And my manhood appears to be still intact without referring to it as the secret cocktail.

Seeing as I double-posted, here is a manly drink!

Navy Grog Arghhh!

The recipes were annoyingly inconsistent with the three simple ingredients posted on the Anvil List and I was shy of grapefruit juice or grapefruits, so I went with a combination of the classic Don the Beachcomber recipe and a more streamlined version. Plus I wanted to make more drinks tonight so I went from 1oz of each rum to .75oz.

.75oz Goslings Black Seal

.75oz Ron Zacapa

.75oz Appleton Estate V/X

.75oz honey syrup (2:1 honey:hot water)

1.25oz lime juice

Shake and strain onto new ice with garnish and top with club soda, if you please.

No scurvy in these here parts!

Brancaia Tre-- cause they were out of the blue-- Rosso Toscana. After about an hour or two of breathing this is some pretty decent stuff and very reasonably priced. Shelly and Jacob you shoould check this out, a nice complementary blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, mellowed out in oak. Would go well with you grilled steaks and Shelly's pizza.
