Used Pat O'Briens's mix as Passion Fruit juice seems unattainable around here. Didn't seem as good as I recalled from the actual bar, but it has been many years.

Pyrat XO Reserve Rum.
J Walker gold and 1 ice cube
Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum on ice.
A good bit of Balvenie GoldenCask over the weekend.
Last night it was Dark 'n Stormy
My local was selling a pack of Black Seal (750ml) + 1 liter of Goslings ginger beer for a few bucks less than the Black Seal's normal price.
Black Seal is great, the Ginger beer just OK. Wish I could find one made with sugar (not HFCS) that has a serious ginger bite.

2 oz Rittenhouse BIB
1 oz Martini & Rossi Sweet Vermouth
Couple dashes Peychaud's bitters
Maraschino Cherry
Orange Zest
Yummy. It isn't classic, but I like to add a bit of orange zest for an additional element I like.

I have, as of late, been on a "cheap beer" kick. Local Walgreens began discounting their already unbelievably cheap Big Flats 1901 beer for only $1.99 a six pack. I picked up some last week, more or less as a joke for my cheapskate neighbor. Turns out it's not bad beer at all. I went back and bought four cases.
Started off with some Boddington's, then moved to some Disaronno, and now I'm on some honey Jack Daniel's. Good company makes it well worth it.
Honey, Honey
Evan Williams Honey Reserve
Jack Daniel's Tennessee Honey
Evan Williams has a bit of orange with the bourbon and honey. I prefer this one on ice.
JD is the champ neat. Yum.
Do I hear Turkey honey calling? Gobble Gobble.

Tastes strongly of kirch with the burn tamed. I may use a heavier hand with the Dubonnet next time.

The Communist from the book Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails
What an unfornuate name for a tasty drink.
1 oz gin (I used Bombay)
1 oz orange juice
1/2 oz cherry brandy (I used Hiram Walker)
3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
Very nice. The cherry and lemon complement each other.
I'll do this one again.

A swanky bourbon cocktail
Ingredients
1 dash Stirrings Blood Orange Bitters
1 oz. Bulleit Bourbon
0.25 oz. Stirrings Espresso Liqueur
Garnish: twist of orange peel
Directions
Stir gently with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a twist of orange peel.
Stirrings needs serious help with their packaging. Their blood orange bitters is the size of a beer bottle and opens like one. In other words, no shaker top. How in the hell am I supposed to get a "dash" out of this thing? Very, very carefully.
Packaging gripes aside, a tasty drink.

You'll find many different ratios. This works well for me, for this gin. Please yourself.
