what are you drinking tonight?

[pavhav]

Negroni with the vermouth split with Zucca, rye substituted for gin , splash of sparkling water, and greenish homegrown lemon peel.

I like to play around with the proportions, and different vermouths/amaros, but never thought of substituting the gin entirely. I love the green, herbaceous flavor it adds to the otherwise woody/citrusy ingredients. But you've piqued my interest - will have to try that out.

I certainly like what gin brings to the drink and never thought about swapping it out until @ethompson posted a 'Kingston Negroni' further up in this thread and I tried it and liked it. Then I tried a mezcal version at a bar and liked that too. Seems like a pretty versatile formula! I have some Old Duff 100% malt wine genever, might try that in a negroni soon.

Made Winter Minestrone yesterday and had some stalk celery left. I mean, I was forced to drink Bloody Mary, right? Right???

It’s cold outside, so… Swizzle time?

I went to make an absinthe frappe first last night but realized I was out of soda, you should give it a spin!

How does the soda fit in to it?

 

[ethompson]

I usually go 2oz absinthe, 1/2 oz simple, and one small lime wedge in a shaker with a lot of cracked ice. Shake hard, remove lime wedge, dump ice and drink into glass. Top with soda and garnish with a ton of mint. Optional, if you’re feeling frisky, a floater of peychauds.

That sounds pretty tasty, I'll give it a try either tonight or tomorrow btw I did order two bottles of the Singani, but they haven't arrived yet. I wait anxiously

this one, we had some exotic Belgian specialty beer yesterday after a stellar concert and this is a leftover (sic), albeit a very nice one

(the westvleteren 12 was finished off yesterday)

I'd trade my Heineken in a second! In fact, I'll be right over.

( great that your glass matches the one on the label!)

Oof I don't envy you for that haha.

I like it, it's pretty refreshing and isn't too strong. Only thing I did different was I muddled the lime wedge and added a 1/4 oz of lime juice. I will be making a second here shortly haha

 

[UHguy]

A little bourbon to wind down the evening

 

[Greasylake]

Pisco sour, gonna be polishing off this bottle soon

 

[HumbleHomeCook]

Need this right when I got home

Drinking this tonight. Loire Cab Franc is probably the only kind of wine that I get full on cravings for. Anyway, this one is really hitting the spot.

 

[Seemore]

Just how I knew it could be - 90 minutes after pulling the cork. (Yes, there is still some left at that point).

 

[Rangen]

Loire Cab Franc. Just love the stuff. Thank goodness that so many people think it tastes like green pepper or something, or it would have gotten prohibitively expensive, like most of the other reds I like.

 

[Rideon66]

Gin several types of Gin. Conniption Kinship which is a local distilled one, The Chemist Navy strength which is also NC, but out in the mountains of Ashville, the Botanist Islay 22 out of Scotland then some Scapegrace Black gin out of New Zealand . Some neat ,some Bees knees and some Martini too.
