Christian Brothers Peach Flavored Brandy
I have a Zoom drinks session tomorrow with a bunch of guys who I first met in Jakarta in 1995 - a couple are here now, one's in Bangkok, one's in Melbourne, a couple in HK and one is somewhere in the US and will likely not be joining due to the time difference(!) So I have had the incomparable Atlas bar deliver a 500ml Martini, a 500ml Negroni and a baby Gimlet - start small and work up to it.View attachment 1114201
I’ve never been a huge fan of Jim Beam’s stuff either, but I recently picked up one of their Repeal Batch bottling that I saw on special at my local wine shop. I’ve been pretty impressed especially at the $10 price point, it’s not bad on its own and pretty darn good in a cocktail.Jim Beam Devil's Cut old fashion. Never tried this before. I have always seen the commercials and thought of it as cheesy marketing which, along with over the top bottle designs, usually means bad swill marketed to binge drinking kids. A friend suggested it and so I decided to go out and buy a bottle, it is cheap so what the heck. It is very oak woody on the nose and throughout the pallet. I like Jim Beam Black Extra Aged and this reminds me of that but with a tea bag of white oak sawdust in the glass , not in a bad way. It is pretty good and cheap. It makes a very good Old Fashion.

Watermelon La Croix and vodka has become my latest warm-weather drink (with a little lemon juice). Had a handful of those tonight... whoops
Never heard of the NY Sour but after looking it up I’m definitely going to give that a go. Can imagine it would be great with a port float...Whiskey sours tonight. Buffalo Trace bourbon. First round: Boston Sours. Second round: New York Sours with a Cab floater. Will try Port floaters next time.
Curious to know your shaker sequence.
I have not, but I’ll check that out! Thanks!Never heard of the NY Sour but after looking it up I’m definitely going to give that a go. Can imagine it would be great with a port float...
Speaking of port, different drink but have you ever tried a Bar Drake Manhattan? Manhattan recipe from a hotel in SF that includes port and a bit of maple syrup.
