I love the EC Rye, but 94 proof in a cocktail, Bill? You on a diet? Hahahaha
One of my favorites for cocktails is Pikesville...though it does cost a bit more.

My only other option is Wild Turkey Rare Breed. That takes over the cocktail imo
Bill, you ever try Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth. It’s the bomb.

Never seen it until now. I rarely make drinks needing vermouth or campri. Sometimes you are in the mood for something different
I use it in Manhattans and Vieux Carré. It is the go to vermouth in most higher end cocktail lounges.
Then you'd never have a Negroni!
Had one of my favourite girly drinks last weekend. Solitaire, from Jane Seymour's character in Live and Let Die.
Amber rum and apricot brandy (about 3:1)
Plus Cherryade and lime juice (about 4:1) in similar volume. Shaken.
Tastes like a sour candy for those who like that sort of taste.
I had an El Matador at Gordon Ramsay Steakhouse in Las Vegas - very tasty
Habanero/pineapple infused Tequila
Cointreau
Passion fruit purée
Lime juice
Agave
Cinnamon sugar encrusted rim

You just beat me to it.
I can't drink anything else now. This stuff is 3x the price of Gallo or Martini & Rossi but 20x better.

I drink makers mark and lots of tequila. I get the HUGE a bottles of tequilla I love in Mexico direct. Three liter bottles at the factory are only $70. They taste great and look even better on the bar at home.
I’m making another but with Aperol this time… for science. It should be a bit sweeter.
I haven't had a Brooklyn in a while, and I'd forgotten how much I like them.
Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Noilly Prat dry Vermouth, Maraschino, Amaro Montenegro, and Luxardo cherries. Yum.

New York Sour
I've been wanting to try one of these. What kind of wine works best?
Love that drink.

I tend to make them when I already have a bottle or wine open…so that is usually how I pick to be honest
That said a dry more tannic red like a Cab, Red Zin, etc. Merlot would be fine or even a Bordeaux or Rioja. Pinot Noir or a sweeter lighter wine wouldn’t do well. The dryness helps with the sour to balance the sweet.
All said its not too important….I wouldn’t recommend opening a bottle of wine just to make this. Use what you have…just remember to pour slowly over the back of a spoon.

Naked and Famous at the Old State Club…though I first had this at Death and Co in NYC…who invented it.
Well, my wife hates dry reds, and I won't drink a whole bottle by myself. So I might be forced to pick up something like this:I tend to make them when I already have a bottle or wine open…so that is usually how I pick to be honest

Every year for our anniversary (June) we spend a night in Philly. This year my wife booked the Four Seasons on top of the Comcast building. If you are in Philly and have a chance, go to the top and have a cocktail at the bar. The views are amazing…and if you stay the views are the same from the rooms.
Unfortunately, right after I took the night pics we were told the bar was reserved for a private party. The “private party” turned out to be the New York Yankees! No real party just reserved for privacy I guess (looked like mostly family) and so they could drown their sorrows after being swept by the Phillies!
No problem though since the restaurant bar at the bottom had WAY better drinks! “Paper Plane” is the cocktail pictured

I agree that a cab/zin/merlot would work best, but we've had it with Pinot Noir plenty of times and it's still delish. Usually, it's just whatever we have...but we don't have wine very often.
