TicToc video was great. Not sure what a meatier influencer is though. And at this point. I’m too afraid to ask.

Nice 70 degree October day in MI. Turning on the grill and having a boulevardier. Used to do a lot of Negronis, but I think I prefer this.

I have been enjoying Moscow Mules (typically with a nice New York Strip). Vodka, ginger beer and lime juice. Garnished with a lime. Delicious!

My Old Fashioned game is on point tonight!

 

[MatB]

This went better than expected


Started off following @detroitdad recipe for the Lemon Martini
Delicious. Nice one Bill

Then things took a twist

Decided to follow the exact recipe except use 4 Roses instead of vodka.
Even used the unmelted ice in the same glass and sugared rim ( half consumed )


Wowza. Amazing.

Why does an NSA glass of bourbon both amuse and frighten me?

I'd take the cocktail, but I meant I need the glass.

Boulevardier is a top 10 cocktail in my book! Kudos if you can pronounce it correctly...

My oldest just turned 18, and as promised I'm with her tonight while she gets some piercings. Nothing crazy, nose and industrial.

Still, I'm making one of these when I get home.

I skipped the sugared rim because I was afraid it might be too sweet. Wrong - the sweetness is just right for me. This is basically a whiskey margarita, and it really works.

Of course, the only option was the Bourbon Club tumbler.

This might be my official SQM drink

This recipe scales up to a pitcher frighteningly easily.

Another new York Sour. It's the feature drink at this weekend's game. I prefer it with equal parts of lemon and simple syrup.

Also I made this one with cab sav, but I think malebec is better.

What's this one?

 

[Schmendr1ck]

What's this one?

It's @MatB's variation on @detroitdad's lemon martini.

Follow these directions, but substitute 2oz bourbon for the vodka:

2 ounces of vodka
3/4 ounce of fresh lemon juice
1/2 to 3/4 ounce of cointreau
1/2 ounce of simple syrup (I make mine using unfiltered cane sugar)
couple of dashes of orange bitters


Shake, and serve in a chilled glass.

Rim is sugar and lemon zest.

I should also note that I stirred rather than shaking.

I know, I know - it's got citrus. But generally, if I'm not putting dairy or egg white in the cocktail, I almost always just stir it.
