What Did You Drink Last Night?

[greatestescaper]

Last night the smell of frying bacon, fresh simmering barbecue sauce, and baked beans fixed with that hickory smoked bacon and barbecue sauce (which is made strong coffee and ancho chiles, among other ingredients) produced an aroma that had me hankering for the smoky nectar of the gods that is Lagavulin. I indulged that hankering.

A Fogcutter with dinner in 60 plus year old tiki-type drinkware.
The Fog Cutter Cocktail or Fogcutter Cocktail is a classic TIki drink. It was created by Tony Ramos a bartender at Don the Beachcomber in Hollywood sometime in the 1930s. Not for the faint of heart, they say if you are a bit foggy headed, this one will cut right through.
Ingredients
1 ½ oz light rum
½ oz brandy
½ oz gin
1 ½ oz orange juice
1 oz lime juice
1 tsp orgeat syrup
1 tsp sherry
Mix everything except the sherry in shaker with ice.
Strain into a collins glass filled with ice.
Float the sherry on top.

Dangerously very easy to consume.

I should have read this before I did my web search on a fog cutter based on your short mention of it in the "dinner" thread.

Always hard to do, but how would you describe the flavor - does it compare to something, does one or do a few ingredients dominate? I find the orgeat syrup and sherry the most intriguing ingredients as they are the most unexpected.

And, yes, just from reading about it I can feel the punch it packs.

This pic was like deja vu. What do I have and what will work together. Reminds me of when I made my first batch of Spam spaghetti. Jar of sauce, can of Spam and noodles. May be dinner tonight since Lady B is in Denver for the week and she won't be here to chastise me. Now, if I only had a bottle of Stoli.

Creston Brewery Grale, Fox Deluxe and Polar Bear. Got to taste a couple of others too. Excellent brew pub in Grand Rapids and they had a great Bluegrass trio playing yesterday too.

After an 8 hr drive home from visiting some of my progeny I'm keepin' it simple by just sippin some Tennessee White. Posting here cause I'm too damn tired to throw a hat on it & take a pic for the other thread.

Had a few Smithwicks while entertaining friends at a pool party.

Rest well, my friend and enjoy that TW.

Sometimes being creative will give you one of the worst hangovers you'll ever have too.

Tonight I had some Ballast Point Brewing's Koala Kölsch. Very mild & somewhat fruity tasting.

Haven't had much lately, but I'm needling something big and heavy tonight (long day at work already, and it's only lunch). I think I have a Founders dirty b*stard in the fridge at home. It'll be fine as soon as I get there.

J&B Scotch and Soda yesterday, well, a few of them throughout the evening. After all, were he still alive it would have been Dean Martin's 100th Birthday.

Enjoying some Knob Creek Single Barrel 120 neat.

Started out with some Dogfish Urton Baton Double Imperial Ale until the keg blew, then switched to Mother's 3 Blind Mice.

Last night? We were out on the boat. Had a couple of G&Ts in the tall Yeti tumblers and a couple of Coronas. Good warm weather beverages!

Laphroaig PX Cask. Used to really like the peaty whiskies, but think I'm turning into a Highlands drinker. The Old Pulteney Pentland Skerries is superb, shame it's only available as a travel retail drink. And I've been waiting in vain for The Balvenie 14YO Caribbean Cask to go on sale...one of my past single malt favourites.

The Lagavulin 16YO was one of my first forays into the world of Scotch. It is stunning and quite memorable.
