What Did You Drink Last Night?

[Danny Ocean]

Aviation cocktails (plural).........I was thirsty!

Based on a 25ml measure:

2 measures of Plymouth Gin
3/4 measure of freshly squeezed lemon juice
3/4 measure of Luxardo Maraschino
1/2 measure of Bitter Truth, Creme de Violette

Shaken with ice, served in a Martini glass, with a Maraschino cherry dropped in the bottom.

Terrible name, but a really tasty drink - Hemingways Brain:

Absinthe, Amaretto, Baileys, Grenadine; shaken with ice. Delicious!

'Suze' a French aperitif seen commonly on the Cotenin peninsula...I aquired the tast over the last year or two's visits there....you either love it or hate it there is no middle ground!!!

The Balvenie Doublewood. 12 year old scotch, matured in two different types of casks. Gives it an interesting characteristic, almost a fruity, vanilla-like nose. Very smooth, not half bad for a $50 dollar bottle.

A Mai Tai made the right way. :cheers1:

And what is the right way to make a Mai Tai? If I may ask.

We Had a glass of Champagne but added a Hibiscus flower, I purchased them in a jar of 15, they are in sugar and honey and are curled up, when you add them to the Champers they uncurl and look rather pretty, you can eat them too they have a Rhubarb/Raspberry taste

The right way to make a Mai Tai is the same way that Trader Vic Bergeron did when he invented it in 1944:

• 2 ounces of 17-year old J. Wray & Nephew Rum over shaved ice. (I use J. Wray and Nephew Overproof because you can't get the 17 year old anymore)
• Add juice from one fresh lime. (This equals about a 1/4 to 1/2 ounce)
• 1/2 ounce Holland DeKuyper Orange Curacao. (Yes, I use the original brand)
• 1/4 ounce Trader Vic's Rock Candy Syrup. (ditto)
• 1/2 ounce French Garier Orgeat Syrup (ditto)
• Shake vigorously.
• Add a sprig of fresh mint

No sweet and sour mix, no grenadine, no pineapple juice and no more of that other trash added to the drink. It is perfectly balanced this way. DO NOT MESS WITH IT!

Now I need a REAL Mai Tai again. :cheers1:

Never. It is the bar at even Trader Vic's that has forgotten how to make one right. They make them with such a horrible wang taste to them that you have to grit your teeth for the bite.:eeek: They also use too much lime in many places which equals that grating to the tastebuds taste. In other words, it stinks. I won't even mention them using cheap and nasty bar rum instead of a decent rum. :eusa_doh:

Have you truly once lived in California? Yes it does and they hire apes to make drinks from my experience.:eusa_doh: Come to think of it, Curious George could probably make a decent drink.
