I'm just scaling down the Smuggler's Cove recipe. I can look at the book later and post it. My big complaint with all the recipes in that book is the sugar:water ratio. Once you refrigerate it the sugar can't remain in solution and you wind up with a large percentage of sugar crystalized on the bottom of your bottle.

How am I just discovering this one?! It combines elements of some of my all time favorites! Next time you crave a mint julep…make this instead!

That sounds nice and refreshing. Probably give it a go later today.
Yum!
Loos good.
This is my goal this year. Expand my liquor options and make more cocktails for guests during get togethers.
What are key things to offer a few different choices of cocktails?

Learn what cocktails are riffs on others. For example, a Negroni becomes a Boulevardier by switching out gin for bourbon.
What gin do I need to keep on hand.
You really need to try a few to see what you like. I like Tanqueray no 10 but it's not for everyone.
I use Ford's because it makes a great martini but can be used as a mixer as well.

And swapping the gin for mezcal makes for a great riff as well. It's probably my favorite Negroni variant. Jamaican rum also makes an interesting Negroni.
Another good cocktail that can be changed to match your mood is the sour. I like to do bourbon and amaretto or bourbon and apricot liquer for a change of pace.

If I started a cocktail bar tomorrow my well options would be:
- Old Forester Rye
- Early Times Bourbon. Sorry Knob Creek I love you too but you're a bit much for a well.
- Fords Gin (Waterloo No. 9 a good local option)
- Wheatley Vodka
- Flor de Cana White Rum
- Presidente Brandy
- Exotico Silver Tequila (must be 100% agave)
- 400 Conejos Mezcal

A bartenders favorite.

Speaking my love language with that last sentence!

Amaro is poetically where I'd start. The big 3 to me are Campari, Aperol and Nonino. Lol...meant probably not poetically but I'll allow it. You should also have a dry and sweet vermouth always... keep them in the fridge after opening... never on the shelf or they oxidize. If they do oxidize don't toss. Use them for cooking! I've made some amazing mushrooms using old vermouth! It's hard to give Liqueur recs. There so many!!! Triple sec obviously. No need to splurge on Grand Marnier or Cointreau. Gran Gala is comparable at half the price. If you want to splurge on special "add ons" I'd recommend Absinthe (Pernod Ricard... not the pastis **** though... the high proof big dog) or Green Chartreuse... flower/ herb garden in a bottle!
You made me do it!
I usually use Giffard due to cost and availability, but Roulot is life changing if you can find it and are willing to use a $100+ spirit as a mixer.
Apparently this bottle is currently harder to get than most allocated bourbons.
Chartreuse is having a moment I think. Hear about it a lot in the wine professional scene, and I think that is trickling out and down by word of mouth.Streetfighter 02 said:

Someone was asking for it in Spec's last month and the worker told him they haven't had it since early in 2022. I only have a bottle of yellow.

I've only recently gotten into gin, but I really like Austin Reserve. It's not super widely available but I think it's delicious. It's also 100 proof

I'd recommend keeping at least two. One of them should be a classic dry gin like Beefeater or Bombay. The second should be a more modern style like Botanist, Hendricks, or Monkey 47. There are a lot of interesting cocktails that you can come up with by playing off of the aromatics in the gins. Just remember the rule of including a spirit, something sweet, and something bitter.
Total Wine in Fort Worth told me he thought he'd be getting chartreuse in today.
This is one of the best Manhattans that I've ever had. Got all the ingredients but I'm still working on getting the ratios right.
That's a mix of a Manhattan and a Black Manhattan.
Do them 50/50 and twice as much bourbon

I picked up some grapefruit at HEB today. Those cold snaps in the valley have done wonders for the citrus, and the grapefruit are exceptional. They're so good you have to cut way back on the sugar in your drink. The last two brown derbys I've had have been excellent. If anyone has some grapefruit juice cocktails they like, let's see them.
