I'm finding that the Bonded is rougher than it used to be. 

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Sorry to be the source of your disappointment! And to fess up, that's no longer how we make them. It's more like:

 

2 oz Laird's Bonded

0.25 (1T) oz lemon juice

0.25 (1T) grenadine

 

We will try an Autumn in Jersey -- once we've replenished the orgeat. Thanks for the tip.

 

One tablespoon is 1/2 ounce.  Did you mean teaspoon?

[Dave the Cook]

Oy. I got confused between making two drinks and making one. So for one cocktail, it's 

 

2 oz Laird's Bonded

0.25 oz lemon juice

0.25 oz grenadine

Yeah, maybe it's a little rough, but I like the base spirit forward.

8:2:1 with peanuts.

Exquisite chiaroscuro on that Laird's, Jo. Lovely glassware too.

[JoNorvelleWalker]

Thanks on both counts!  The drink was good too.  The glass pattern is Baccarat Comtesse De Paris.

I repeated the experiment at 8:2:1, but this time Laird's Bottled in Bond and raspberry syrup, rather than the grenadine.  Not so great, unfortunately.  Peanuts are still nice.
