What are you drinking tonight?

[Mad Man]

Manhattan. Watching Saturday afternoon spring showers wash across the yard….

I had Talisker Distillers Edition last evening. For tonight, a neat Jameson's Stout Edition.

Manhattans tonight with Martini & Rossi vermouth. The Noilly Pratt is so much better. I like Spanish and French sweet vermouth so much better than Italian. Italian seems to be more herbal.

I painted with too broad a brush here. Carpano Antica is a fine sweet vermouth.

Knob Creek 9 OF

Tito’s and lemonade at home. Thinking about going to the local watering hole for a few…

 

[jesseix]

Dingle Gin negroni

 

[Multum in parvo]

Last drop of the blended Roe&Co.
An ok run of the mill Irish, for me not worth the premium over Powers Gold Label.

Celebrated the anniversary a little early over the weekend. Opened the wife's favorite wine.

Last night, my team won. So, I upped the bourbon game a bit.

Not sure the Big 12 is a great fit for UC, but I can't blame them for making this move because it's every man for himself right now as the NCAA implodes. I will say this-- UC's Nippert Stadium is one of the greatest venues in college football. It's an old one. I love how it's literally tucked in between academic buildings. On weekdays the stadium's aisles and concourse are regular routes taken by hundreds of students as they go from class to class. And UC also has Dan Hoard, perhaps the best radio play by play man in college football. And they've got a really good team this year. Fickell is a terrific coach.

Jefferson’s small batch wi a big cube tonight.

Lemonade. Homemade.

 

[TimeOnTarget]

Brought this back from Tokyo on my last trip.

I have my booster jab tomorrow so better be plain water (!)

Gonna be a little Crown Royal Northern Harvest for me tonight.

Looks like you had full control of that trip. I've heard good things about Japanese whisky. Hope you enjoy it, and find a way to get back before you finish the bottle.

I hope we see a celebratory post soon.

The Aviation is rapidly becoming a favorite. I watched a YouTube that compared two techniques of preparing this cocktail: shaken or stirred. Conventional wisdom is too shake due to the fresh citrus. However, shaking tends to cloud and overwhelm the delicate color. I stirred this one and will stick to this method.

Just got back from the clinic - in and out in 35 mins including 30 mins mandatory observation where we all sit and stare at out iPhones for half an hour... They said no strenuous activity for 2 weeks (hurrah!) and no alcohol today (boo!). Tomorrow planning on a few slurps.

Interesting. No alcohol restrictions were mentioned on my end. I can tell you based on my sample size of 2, alcohol consumption provided no known side effects. Perhaps it's just the same BS they give regarding no consumption after giving blood. I always tell them they're no fun and that it's more efficient that way.
PS: Drink responsibly. Maybe, in this specific scenario, in your own home as well.

Also, it was Turkey Tuesday last night (though in fairness, I spent most of the evening thinking it was Wednesday...). WT101. I'm challenging myself to include my awful tasting notes on these as well. This one has a nice color (that's not a taste!), but feels a bit thinner than I expect. I get a lot of pepper and a hint of caramel on the palette. It's not as sweet as many of the other bourbons I've had recently. Finish is pretty enjoyable. I won't be turning down pours of this one, though not sure it'll be a frequent purchase either.
