shellylh Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Cocktails of the Day! Before dinner: HC Rum Old Fashioned Wow, the Smith and Cross is really a lot different than I imagined and it packed quite a kick. Not sure I should have been drinking this on an empty stomach. I am not sure I am a fan of the S&C yet, it will take some time to get used to it. 2 oz Smith & Cross Navy Strength rum 1 sugar cube 2 dashes of Angostura bitters 1 dash of sparkling water After dinner: Jack Rose (Anvil) 3/2 oz Calvados XO (sub for applejack) 3/4 oz lemon juice 2 dashes of homemade grenadine I thought this drink was quite bland and not worth drinking out poured it out. Maybe it was the Calvados, maybe too much lemon. Not a fan. Knickerbocker a la Monsieur I also used Smith & Cross in this but it worked better because it was more than rum and a bitter of sugar/bitters. Still gives quick a kick though. I also really like this drink. 3/2 oz Smith and Cross rum 1/2 oz Senior Curacao 1/2 oz Monin Raspberry syrup 3/4 oz Meyer lemon juice Splash of pineapple juice 2 dashes of cherry bitters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Monkey Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 BTW, thinking back on the Brooklyn I made the other day, I owe Jim some thanks because I used only 1/4 of the recommended Maraschino liquor and it was delicious. That Maraschino should be used like bitters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morphsci Posted March 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Heh, maraschino can be dangerous, but when it works it's pretty good. Cobble Hill Cocktail 2 oz Sazerac Rye 1/2 oz Dolin Dry Vermouth 1/2 oz Amaro Montenegro 2 slices of cucumber Stir vigorously and double strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a lemon twist.

luvdunhill Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Jim, nice! That amaro is one I want to pick up, but haven't found a good source for :/ Nice drinks all around! Shelly, I think the S&C will grow on you. I have a feeling you'll have the same reaction times two to the W&N Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) After the Jasmine, which contains gin, Campari, Cointreau, and lemon and being underwhelmed I tried a slight twist. (Not At All A) Jasmine 1.5 oz Reposado Tequila 0.75 oz lime juice 0.5 tbsp Cointreau 0.5 tbsp Campari Shake with ice and double strain. I think it's nice. Maybe add a bit of simple syrup depending on your preferences. Edit: nah, it's just right Edited March 7, 2011 by luvdunhill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shellylh Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Marc: What does your weird concoction taste like? Al: How do you like the Perucchi vermouth? Cooking with Shelly (a Cooking with Colin spinoff) A glass of 2009 Parker Estate Cabernet Sauvignon with dinner. Tonight I made some Tuscan Lemon Grilled Chicken, with roasted sweet potatoes (sprinkled with oil oil, brown sugar, salt and pepper), and roasted green beans (with onions, garlic, sprinkled with olive oil, salt, pepper and a little parmesan at the end). Tasted much better than it looks in the picture. Edited March 7, 2011 by shellylh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
