I got this from "The Cocktail Codex" an almost too smooth and balanced twist on a Martini:
Poet's Dream
2oz. Beefeater Gin
3/4oz. Dolin Dry Vermouth
1/4oz. Benedictine
2 Dashes Orange Bitters
Lemon Twist
Stir all the ingredients over ice, then strain into a chilled Nick & Nora or Martini glass. Express the lemon twist over the drink, then set it on the edge of glass.
Hayes Carll and Ray Wylie Hubbard fans can double it add some Mescaline and call it "A Drunken Poet's Dream"

I'm not a huge martini guy but I might have to try that!
Just try regular sized martinis then

Bartended for a friend's Army promotion celebration last night. This is what I came up with for the menu. The most popular were the margaritas and the bourbon sour. A got a lot of compliments on the Mean Army Green (Avocolada) though.
That mean army green sounds fascinating
The original recipe was this:
https://teremana.com/blogs/recipes/avo-colada
I modified it though and replaced the coconut yogurt with Cream of Coconut (Coco Lopez, etc.). I use about .75oz Cream of Coconut...honestly I usually don't measure it and just squirt it into the drink for a couple seconds! You can still use a bit of agave if you want extra sweetness but the Coco Lopez has plenty of sugar in it already! For the ones I made this week I used the pineapple syrup instead to give it a little pineapple kick. I shake it hard and double strain it to remove any avocado chunks. You could probably blend the liquid ingredients before adding to the shaker with ice...I plan to try that so I don't waste as much avocado that has to otherwise be thrown out after straining.

Shamrock Tea
This is about the farthest thing from an Irish-themed cocktail, but I made a Spicy Dead Lady this evening.
Equal parts mezcal, Aperol, falernum, and lime juice. Put it all in a shaker, add ice and a *thin* slice of habanero and shake. Double strain it into a coupe glass and garnish with a lime wheel.
Upon further review, the green of the lime makes it Irish.

I've been on Nyquil, hot buttered rums, and the occasional Penicillin the past week trying to get over a bad cold.

Love it!
I ordered the Shaker & Spoon "The Better With Bitters Experience" off of Kickstarter.
This is the "Ash & Elm" which was an add on to the package above. This box came with everything needed to make 4 cocktails minus the alcohol.

Did BrokeAss post his Total Ecplise drink yet?
No eclipse themed cocktail?
I bought a new bottle of Laphroaig 10yr yesterday, so had some more Penicillin last night. Didn't have any ginger (or even Domaine de Canton) on hand, but a spicy honey syrup worked just fine.
Passion Fruit Daiquiri I made the other night.
Final Ward: Equal parts Last Word riff.
Had a Cuban/Havana themed afterparty at the house this weekend. Made a themed menu that I printed out and a QR code for those more digitally inclined.
Great, let me just grab my second phone so I can scan that from this phone.
Hah fair enough. This is what scanning the qr code brings you to, https://qrco.de/bexMeh?trackSharing=1

That looks good. Can you post the recipe?
Blessed to be on the Coast tonight, thus whipped up some Margs.
2 oz blanco
1 oz lime
1 oz Cointreau
1/4 agave syrup
I've always made margs this way. Should I try a different spec tonight?

I like another 0.5 oz of lime in my recipe.
I would substitute reposado, but I like my margs mellow.TreeFarmAg said:

I too like it with 1.5 oz of lime juice, skip the Cointreau and use 2 oz of Ancho Reyes (green).

I will have to try this. I do like to split the tequila to 1oz and 1oz of Ancho Reyes, but have never used the green, only red
I like this recipe. It also removes the Cointreau.
