This isn’t a traditional class. This is a thread to keep the curious mind up to date, and to share personnal experiences about particular drinks.

A few weeks back I went to this joint called Craft Hill in Covina @ the bottom of Kellogg Hill for the So Cali people. I ended up going through the drink menu saw an interesting drink that had almost everything I liked.

The Vieux Carre

Any local place you know of that has a full bar should be able to concoct one for you. If not you can go to bevmo drop about 130 last I checked, possibly less if a distinguished member for all the ingrediants and enjoy at your own leisure. (y)

It's hard enough getting a decent old fashion. Lol

This looks like something I may try on my own.

I'm looking forward to seeing what other drinks pop up here.

@SteezyEndo ... that drink looks delicious... but I have a feeling it tastes like gasoline. LOL Reminds me of my Grandmother's go to cocktail back in the day. As a young kid, I would get a kick out of ordering it for her when we were out to eat.... "She'll have a Beefeater Martini, straight up, with a lemon twist." I always thought that it looked so refreshing when it came to the table. I couldn't wait to try one for myself. I finally got the chance one night. I was at the table alone somehow, and that awesome looking martini was staring me down. I grabbed that thing and took a big swig.

I didn't ever want to try gin again after that. LOL

I don't mix much. I prefer my alcohol straight. But I do mix a good Martini.

one shot Grey Goose
one shot Blue Sapphire Gin
1/4 shot dry Vermouth
A tablespoon or less of juice from Jalapeno stuffed olives.
Two large Jalapeno stuffed olives
shaken in ice.

it's the best Martini I've had. I have a book on martinis and have tried just about all of them. This one does it for me.



i nice light drink for around the holidays is a stinger

50% Peppermint Schnaaps
50% Brandy

Had to dig up in the archives to bring up another drink I came across. I would like to share.

I literally had Bulleit Whiskey, Dry Vermouth, and Campari just sitting on my bar. I had to look what I could do with it. Found out about an Old Pal.

Bottomline impressive tasteful drink if your looking to mellow out. It is surprisingly strong so 1 drink could give you that good feeling.

If anybody wants the recipe... let me know and I'll post it.

It tastes great. I don't like the sugar on the rim of the glass... I would use cayenne pepper instead for mine.

@Selassie I that drink looks hella refreshing, and the idea of the cayenne pepper around the rim got my attention. I would drop a sugar cube in the drink, and the cayenne on the rim. I am gonna try that next time.(y)

Just posted the recipe above.

It's already got sugar in the drink.

I have been putting cayenne pepper on my marg glass instead of salt for years. It's the shit.

I make my own dirty martinis at home. Similar to yours, but I use Reyka vodka. I can't stand Grey Goose for whatever reason. Interesting that you mix the gin and vodka. I usually do one or the other, but will try mixing some Saphire East into the Reyka tonight. Also love me some garlic olives. Damn, is there such thing as a morning martini??:ROFLMAO:

You damn right there is. I can't believe you've never heard of it...

It's called The Breakfast of Champions. ;)

Ha. That's what I always call any drink with alcohol consumed in the morning.
