This morning I thought I would be having West Texas Ranch Water at dinner, but it wound up being a Margarita. Hope you’re enjoying Cinco de Mayo!!
What are you drinking tonight?

Wondering about which Sweet Vermouth you use, if you don’t mind!
For this one it was Carpano Antica Formula just because I got a couple of bottles on sale a while back. Makes a very good Manhattan. I usually use Cocchi but it’s kind of hard to find around here.
Very nice! Thanks!
Yesterday's, today I 'll give it a rest.
Right on queue - tonight it will be a Boulvardier!
btw how big are your hands/this bottle?
I have MONSTER sized hands.
Actually it’s a 375ml bottle and my hands are normal size.
Boulvardier sounds like a GREAT idea.
Knob Creek Rye for mine
I haven’t had a drink with Campari in it for some time. Now I remember why. The bitterness is like a slap to the face.
Cardhu gold reserve. Not bad and reasonably priced.
Good stuff
I use the 2oz/1oz/1oz ratio as for a Negroni so to me it’s not overly bitter. That being said I prefer Fernet over Averna or Jaegermeister...
I used 1.5/1/1. I’ll try the 2/1/1 next time. I guess I should have said the first sip is like a slap in the face. Once my palate adjusted I really enjoyed it. I’ve never had Averna, will have to find some. Jaegermeister brings back good memories, bad memories, and some memories that I can’t remember.
Laphroaig Ten, neat.
Bought a bottle of Old Forester 100 and a couple of minis of Larceny to double-check if I liked it. Could taste nothing but the wheat in the Larceny, so tried to salvage it by making it into a Manhattan. No dice. Dumped it. Drinking OF 100 neat.
I had a similar impression. Now, I do enjoy wheat from time to time, and I've even enjoyed a 100% wheat whiskey, but I do expect more than a suggestion of corn in a bourbon.
