Drinks! 2018

Another new original, the Fannee Doolee. 

The goofy concept here: only ingredients with doubled letters allowed. I used apple brandy, Cappelletti, Green Chartreuse, Kirschwasser, apple bitters, and a cherry.

Stirred of course.

made a daiquiri with 2oz Pierre Fernand Stiggins Pineapple rum. 1 oz fresh lime juice and 1/2oz 1:1 simple.

Delicious drink.

Well now you've got me wondering about 2oz Plantation Stiggin's, 1/2oz lime, 1/2oz Pierre Ferrand dry curacao.

not sure I would want to introduce orange flavor to compete with the pineapple--- but GO FOR IT!

@blue_dolphin -- I love the glasses the dacquiri and the gimlet (I think, without looking back) were in. The ones with the twisted stem. Gorgeous!

Thanks!  All 50 cent - $1.00 thrift store finds! I have a nice little collection, all in ones, twos or threes, and love picking the glass as much as picking the cocktail to make!

The Tawny Orange Negroni:

 

1. Find some Wilikin & Sons Tawny Orange marmalade. Slather it on toast and bliss out every morning.

2. When you hit the bottom of the jar, resist the urge to lick it clean with your aardvark-like prehensile tongue. Save jar for later. Or just get on with it ...

3. Stir up a Negroni. I like 1-1/2 oz each:

    -Campari

    -Cocchi Vermouth di Torino

    -Ford's gin

4. Strain into dirty marmalade jar with a big ice cube or two. Sip. Forget for the next 5 minutes that we're in a pandemic and the world is on fire.

Made up something new, to make use of some fresh thyme left over from dinner: gin, aquavit, sloe gin, and vecchio amaro del capo. Started with equal parts but the flat-Coke flavor of the amaro was too strong. Halfway through I squeezed a little lemon juice in to see what would happen, but then decided that lost some subtlety. Second go was 1oz each Beefeater gin and Plymouth sloe gin, 1/2oz each del Capo and Tattersall aquavit, squeeze of lemon twist and thyme as garnish. Calling it the Holbein.

A simple martini variation, but I'm quite happy with it (and I have dry vermouth on hand that should be used up)

martini with pimento dram

1 1⁄2	oz	Gin, Tanqueray
1⁄2	oz	Dry vermouth, Noilly Prat
2	bsp	Allspice Dram

Was reminded of this by tonight's trial of Frederic Yarm's new Creole Poet, which adds Benedictine and Amer Picon (Amer Boudreau in my case) and orange bitters to a similar martini base. Recommended!

I searched for "passionfruit liqueur" rather than "passion fruit liqueur" here looking for inspiration to use my home made liqueur and only found one post, which was The Scirroco, and used the flavours as the basis for my own original cocktail.

It turned out fantastic, and amazingly carried the passion fruit flavour better than I could have hoped.
 

 

[haresfur]

variation on a drink I posted around 2012. Don't think this is any better but higher end brands would have helped

 

2 oz reposado tequila

1 oz Cinzano sweet vermouth

1 oz Nocino

3 drops Bitterman's xocolato bitters

 

Build over ice.

 

Maybe a touch of Mescal...

Were trying to finish up the supply of last year's limoncello and orangecello (in order to make more this winter).

One of our recent go to combinations is 2 parts orangecello to 1 part ouzo plus a few mint leaves.

Both are great simply with ice or with soda.

We also have an old super-strong delicious coffee infused vodka that deserves to see more attention. It's nice with milk and syrup, or even just syrup in tiny servings.

All three are great on ice cream as well.

Any more creative ideas?

[scamhi]

tonight's pre dinner cocktail.

Classic daiquiri...except I used small hand gum syrup and aquafaba. Which together made the drink a little thick.

[shain]

Rosé wine, ouzo, pomegranate molasses, rose water.

We never finish a bottle if we don't have guests to share with. However, it's rarely an issue, since we are happy to drink it the next day (I often prefer reds and some roses the next day).

But we didn't quite like this wine - good flavor but too acidic for being quite dry (to our taste).

[rotuts]

ive been known to mix what I have left-over

 

after a night in the refrigerator.

 

table wine , not chit-chat wine .

 

and the key for me on table wine :  no benzene !

 

[ed.: Benzene = flavors of chemicals , not grapes .  very common ]

Every year I bring out this Holiday Drink Book from Peter Pauper Press, Mount Vernon, New York, 1951.  I think this came from my Grandfather Ralph Pink's collection. On a side note, my Mother always told the story of how her folks hid the gin behind the towels in the linen closet during prohibition.  I think these cocktails would be delicious today.

 

[shain]

Gin, limoncello, lemon juice and soda.
