My thoughts exactly.

What would be a drink fit for a Thief-lassoing-Mother-trucker- Oregonian -Cowboy?

a reply to: zazzafrazz

Why, the Cowboy Cocktail of course:

2 Ounces Bourbon
1 Ounce Southern Comfort
1 Teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 Teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 Lime wedge for garnish

Shake all ingredients with ice until well chilled. Double strain into a coupe glass and garnish with lime. Rustle up the bad guys.

surely there would be no lime squeezes or garnishes, I was thinking more the blood of buffalo with molten down silver from the comstock load.

Revised recipe:

2 Ounces Bourbon
1 Ounce Southern Comfort
1 Teaspoon fresh lime juice
1 Teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 Lime wedge for garnish


Quadruple the quantity of the first ingredient and pour into the skull of you enemy. Throw the other ingredients into some grizzly bear's face. Fire you six-shooter into the air and chug. Repeat as necessary.

We aims to please round these parts, ma'am.

A cup of shaved ice.
Add a bit of simple syrup.
Add a liberal splash of Jack Daniel's single barrel reserve.
Breakfast of champions.

Since Jacy asked for a pic today and I feel like being clever here is your drink skunk.

The Frequent Flyer (ask flight attendant for the following):

1 Glass of ice
1 Glass with 1 ounce of water
1 Sugar packet
1 Airline bottle Buffalo Trace bourbon

Pour sugar into glass with water and swirl to dissolve. Pour bourbon into glass with ice and then add water mixture. Stir to combine. Enjoy turbulence.

Some people think that rum based drinks can be too heavy in warmer weather, well, those people would be wrong. Batavia Arrack, an East Asian precursor to rum is lighter and very flavorful which makes an excellent spring/summer cocktail. This one is courtesy of Phil Ward, one of the owners of Death and Co, the 18th Century.

The name is a riff on the 20th Century cocktail which was of course concocted to honor the turn of the previous century. His is a satirical twist on that as Batavia Arrack dates from the 1700's and is the key ingredient in all punch recipes from that era. I pairs well with citrus and makes a very refreshing pre-dinner drink. The 18th Century:

1 1/2 Ounces Batavia Arrack
3/4 Ounce crème de cacao
3/4 Carpano Antica vermouth
3/4 Ounce lime juice

Shake all ingredients over ice until well very chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.

You forgot the pink twisty straw and umbrella!

a reply to: TerryDon79

Oh jeez, not that kind of drink. You want a tiki drink.

I can make those too. Total kitsch. I may even have a tike mug laying around, I have to check.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

It kind of sounds like one (minus the luminescent colour lol).

a reply to: TerryDon79

It's actually close. The Carpano makes it a bit more flavorful and adds a bit more body that your standard tiki drink but the basics are there; rum, citrus and modifier. Plus you need a lot more ice (and rum), an absurd glass to hold it and, of course, your straw.

When are you going to post a drink? I know you have started to stockpile hooch so make something.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

I thought I did post a few drinks before.

Unfortunately, I'm not drinking at the moment. Had real bad indigestion for a few days.

Hmmm, I wonder if I can make an anti indigestion drink. I've got peppermint soda that I've been chugging, which helps a bit. Now to figure out what to put with it.

a reply to: TerryDon79

Gin.

Gave it a try and it didn't make me worse lol.

Need a tall glass.
Half full with ice.
Add 2 shots of gin (dunno how much that is to you Americans lol).
1 shot bols blue (Curacao).
Add 1 shot peppermint soda.
Fill with regular soda water.
Mix with mixie thing (I ordered some proper stirrers lol)

Decorate with a couple mint leaves.

(Watch out, it makes you burp)
