What Did You Drink Last Night?

[PoohBang]

just picked up a bottle of Orval Trappiest... really looking forward to trying it tonight!

 

[Wally_Hood]

Last night, Knob Creek on the rocks. Tonight, Tanqueray martini.

 

[Wally_Hood]

Trying out some classic gin drink with Foxdenton over the next few days.

any suggestions beyond Martini & G&T?

Gimlet, p'raps...
2 fluid ounces gin
2 fluid ounces sweetened lime juice
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/2 cup ice

I have used simple syrup instead of sugar.

Noted suggestion, thanks. I also had a Bramble which it worked well in.

Last night, I had a boring old Vodka Soda, but about a week ago I was sipping away at an Old Fashioned. Not sure it's my drink, but it wasn't bad. I prefer Caprianas.

Noted suggestion, thanks. I also had a Bramble which it worked well in.

Of course the Aviation:
mix 2 oz (60 ml) Gin
0.5 oz (15 ml) lemon juice
2 tsp Maraschino liqueur
1 tsp Crème de Violette
Shake with ice in a nice vintage shaker.
Strain into a cocktail glass.

I forgot to mention that it tastes better with real Aviation gin.
It is very good.

Thanks James, I had missed that one. :eusa_doh:

The Gimlet worked rather well (I used Rose's Lime) on the second one I added a splash of soda to give it an extra "zip" (as suggested by Esquire's Handbook for Hosts) which is nice but I prefer it without.

Ethan, I just bumped into my bottle of Galliano last night and I remembered the Milano.

1 part Gin
1 part Galliano
1 part Lemon Juice

Shake, into a cocktail glass, garnish with a thin slice each of lime and lemon surrounding a cherry.

EB's gin inquiry prompted me to mix up a gimlet last night.

Good choice Danny and a warm welcome to the lounge. Tanqueray Ten and Lime does go so well together.

I have been continuing my Foxdenton Project, this evening we shared:

White Lady
Pendennis
Ramos Gin Fizz

I am now enjoying a Lot No:40 whisky.

Foxdenton..........Sloe gins...........in a couple of months, I'll be making my own..........after the first frosts, of course! Foxdenton estate is about 10 miles from my business premises.

With you on the Gin Fizz. On the whisky front, a Woodford Reserve, JD Single Barrel, or Laphroaig Quarter Cask, are at the front of my drinks cabinet.

Rib eyes on the grill with home grown patty cake squash, hg collards, onions and mushrooms and grilled peppers. Libations were a 2002 Sobon Old Vine Zin and after Sazeracs on the porch with a Zino and the love of my life. 1940's satellite channel from Sirius radio in the background. I think that's as close to heaven as this sinner is gonna get.
