I tried one variation with Peychauds bitters, it turned out quite nice.

jamespowers said:Wow! That's a lot of vermouth for me.
jamespowers said:Ah yes. A nice creamy Speyside. Not at all harsh. Good choice. Now try the Lagavulin and see a huge difference.
Then again you do drink The Frog.
CaptainB said:I really likes this one, nearly honey-like and smooth - the perfect sipping-whisky.
Lagavulin is one of my favorites too. There's already a bottle of the 12y. cask strength waiting... I think this will be nice also :cool2:
Absinthe_1900 said:It's not bad, Vermouth is long been consumed as a stand alone aperitif.
If you have access to a liquor store that carries Carpano Antica sweet Vermouth, give that one a try.
MK said:Close. I don't have the book at the office but it was something like,
2 oz. vodka
1.5 oz. blue curacao
top off with club soda
Moby said:Aaaah! It was "Strega" for me. My Italian Grandpa gave me a taste of "Strega" when I was 5 years old and have loved it ever since. Strong, fiery with a hint of gasoline! Great straight or over ice. It'll make a man out of you.
