I see smoke with smoke - approved!
I used some of the lemon simple syrup I made for mixing lemonade with a couple ounces of Knob Creek 9. It’s a little thick right now, but should be great as the cube melts a little!
Somebody just handed me a glass of McIntosh Scotch on the rocks.
If it tastes as good as their amplifiers sound, you should be in heaven.
First time making a Gold Rush, got inspired by a couple of you good people. Or is it peer pressured? 
Elijah Craig Small Batch, neat
Beefeater and Dolin 3:1 martinis, nice and cold, with big pimento stuffed olives.

Well, people have been telling me to try this for some time now. I was skeptical. I don't like "new-fangled gins", and in that I even include Bombay Saphire. I like the traditional old English Dry styles, with Beefeater and Bombay dry (greenish bottle) at the top of my list followed by Tanq.
This was on sale, and I really, really hesitated to get the big bottle because I was worried about being disappointed. I should have followed my instincts. Made my usual 5-1 martini with Dolin dry and a cocktail olive, just a little dirty. Ugh. Awful. Now what am I going to do with the rest of it?
Aviation Cocktails, I suppose. Not a huge fan of those, though. Maybe for Negronis? That might work. I'll figure something out. But hope, hope, hope I've learned my lesson not to experiment with gins for a classic martini. I'm too old to waste time trying new gins, I have it figured out, and there's only so many more martinis in my life! I'll figure out something to do with this stuff.

Tonight it’s some Elijah Craig small batch for me.

Gin and tonic is pretty concealing, and not particularly style-sensitive.
