On a birthday outing with family, got treated to a preprandial cocktail including a fishy garnish, and after dinner a lovely flight of vermouths and amari. 

Later posted my entry into Reddit's September cocktail challenge, a pecan/bourbon/lemon/maple/sage/cardamom invention I'm calling One-Pedal Driving.

Yeah, I should have added -ish to all those cocktail names not least because I’m using Bruto Americano instead of Campari as I like its increased bitterness and reduced sweetness.

So says the man who puts 2 ryes and 3 vermouths in his Boulevardier 🙃

 

Edited to add that I realized that I’d previously only made the proper bourbon Boulevardier with proper Campari so I went ahead and made an improper Boulevardier-ish cocktail with equal parts bourbon, Cocchi vermouth di Torino to wrap up Negroni week.  Very nice.
