Just made a Monte Carlo. A nice herby, complex take on a Rye Old Fashioned. I used Peychaud's Bitters since I like Sazeracs.

2 oz. Rye Whiskey
1/2 oz. Benedictine
1 Dash Angostura or Peychaud's Bitters

Mix all ingredients with ice. Strain into Rocks glass with large ice cube and garnish with a lemon twist.

I drink a lot of bourbon and peychauds over ice, so had to give this a try. Makes me feel like I'm making a cocktail and not just drankin'

2/3 of a way to a Vieux Carre. Might have to try that one since I have all the ingredients

I was thinking I needed Cognac and sweet Vermouth when I made it

Try a little demerara simple syrup, just a little bit, gives you sweet but not regular simple syrup sweet

Are your Dad's initials "G.B" and did he write a book on Fly Patterns for the Texas Coast?

Vieux Carre is peak cocktail but Monte Carlo is still a great one.

I also like a Monte Carlos - sub Tequila for the rye.

No, I'm the first of my family to have moved overseas for work. That said if you did any saltwater fly fishing out of the Freeport/Demi John area then you probably knew of my grandparents

Made a lemon mezcal margarita tonight, if it can be called that. Was very tasty. Mezcal, Cointreau, lemon, agave, shaken with ice then strained over ice.

Had some red wine left over from a braise, so I decided to whip up a couple of New York Sours.

One of my all time faves. Pistols at Dawn. Just a bad ass drink. Like if you had to make a spicy margarita but didn't have Tequila. This is what you'd make!


Edit:
Pistols at Dawn cocktail

Ingredients

3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
3/4 oz ginger agave
1 oz Ancho Reyes
1 oz Bulleit Bourbon
Splash of Cabernet


Directions

Add all the ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and dump into a glass.
Garnish with Cabernet float and pierced piece of candied ginger.

Is there a difference with or without the egg white?

Agreed. Pistols at Dawn is an awesome cocktail. I've never made it with a candied ginger garnish, though. Great idea!

No need to explain a liking for BT. That's my go-to bourbon of choice as well. You're in good company.

I've been thinking about buying some Benedictine to try a Sentimental Gentleman. Looks like I'll have to move it to the top of my shopping list.

Egg white is going to give it a creamier texture/ mouth feel. It can smooth the taste profile a bit as well.

For today, a Champs-Elysees cocktail. Probably my favorite cognac based cocktail.

1.5 oz Remy Martin 1738 Cognac
1/3 oz Green Chartreuse
2/3 oz lemon juice
1/2 oz 2:1 simple syrup
1 dash Angostura Bitters
Garnish with a lemon zest twist

Shake all ingredients with ice and double strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Yeah that's not a drink I'm familiar with but it sounds incredible. And I really love the 1738 accord royal on its own.

For sure, the 1738 is good stuff.

Do you make your own ginger agave syrup, or do you purchase it? If purchased, where do you get it?

I make my own. I chop it up into fairly thin slices and then boil in water. Strain then add back sugar to weight or volume. Some recipes call for blending it into pulp. You'll certainly extract more juice that way but I prefer mine... it's not quite as pungent.

Sorry I was describing a simple syrup. Here a recipe for an agave one. Takes a bit longer.

Anyone ever have a barrel aged old fashioned? A local restaurant has one made of Woodford Reserve and Rittenhouse Rye. They mix all the ingredients of old fashioned into those small barrels and age it.

Gimmicky or not?

I wouldn't say so. They can be pretty legit but I've also had underwhelming ones.

I have had them and Manhattans at " The Hound" in Auburn, AL. Very good but I don't know if a fresh mixed cocktail using the same premium ingredients wouldn't be just as good. (And cheaper)

Any good recommendations for a bourbon coffee cocktail? Was thinking about starting with bourbon cream, kahlua, and espresso, but figured something else needed to round it out.
