Eagle Rare Aztec Chocolate Maple Old Fashioned — best variety of an OF I've ever made.

Anyone else peeved by cocktail posts that don't have a recipe?

A twist on the classic whiskey smash.

Bulleit bourbon, Cynar, apricot purée(yay stonefruits!), mint, and lemon, and a touch of sprinkled cinnamon

 

[jr8719]

First time making a Boulevardier — won't be the last.

Also, you won't find a better Old Fashioned glass for the price.

 

[SteveEH]

Amaro sour with averna and Woodford reserve.

Can’t remember the name.

Nolet’s gin, Aperol, St Germaine, strawberry purée, lime, and egg white

Like sweet vermouth? This stuff is on par if not better than carpano antica (which is vanilla heavy, and I like vanilla even). It's really good in a Manhattan or Negroni.

Cocchi Americano is my go to for a classic James Bond Vesper. According to the experts its closer to the Kina Lillet sold in the 60s. So much better than today's Lillet Blanc.

On the back deck with my third dangerously-strong Espolon margarita in a tall glass. One more, and it’s off to the PCF Classifieds!

What are the recipe volumes for "pint glass size"?

 

[warma]

What are the recipe volumes for "pint glass size"?

4 oz. Espolòn reposado tequila
4 oz. Cointreau
2 2/3 oz. fresh lime juice
Add ice
Should fill to the brim

I do 3/3/2 in a tall tumbler, leaving a bit of space at the top so I don’t spill any of the lovely stuff

We had frozen pineapple in the freezer. I decided to make margaritas.

If you don’t like the taste of the fruit, add more tequila.

If you don’t like the taste of the fruit, add more tequila.

2 ounces tequila

Half ounce of lime juice
Two ounces of frozen pineapple
Ice

Rinse and repeat

If you’re never in a pinch, and I don’t like ready mixers, but the Costco margarita mix is probably the best. Cane sugar instead of HFCS, and simple ingredients, no preservatives.
