BoliDan Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 With summer around the corner and those 90-100F+ days rearing their ugly heads, cocktails are a nice to have handy for refreshing drinks and a smoke. Anyone here have a recipe of a favorite? Let me just stymie this joke now: "2oz. bourbon in a glass, The End." Yes, I'm sure we all love our neat mid-top shelf drinks, but I'm more looking for cocktails ideas, unique or just plain good. Here's mine: Dan's Rye Fashioned - 2oz. Rye (Redemption Rye, I like spice bombs) - tsp Agave (This stuff is basically pre-made and all natural simple syrup, super handy for impatient mixologists) - .5oz fresh squeezed mandarin orange juice - Bitters, dash to taste (2 dashes for me ?)

Islandboy Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Year round go-to for me, don’t like sweet drinks for the most part, so I believe it’s called a Gin Rickey - fancy name for a simple drink: club soda, gin, the juice of one lime. The lime and club soda make it a health drink...the gin makes it fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to google Pimms. Now I need to keep an eye out for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to squeeze fresh limes for my coin style margs. When serving a bunch of people, I'd squeeze damn near 20 limes... I found the world of Limeade it made life a whole lot easier and still miles above the crappy marg mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using Newman's Own for some time - not too sweet and no corn syrup. The Pomegranate Lemonade works well also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earthson Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Living in a somewhat warm, subtropical climate, I've got a few. Mint julep Same as a regular mint julep, but mixed with Pierre Ferrand 1840 cognac instead of whiskey. I got the idea after having an "1840 Sazerac" at the Roosevelt hotel in New Orleans that did the same substitution. Magnificent and worlds better than the classic julep. Mojito Mixed with a dry Haitian rhum I adore (Barbancourt 8 year) with a substitution of Peychaud's bitters in place of the simple syrup. Finally, the Death in the Afternoon. In Hemingway's own words: "Pour one jigger absinthe into a Champagne glass. Add iced Champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzld Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Gin Sour 2 oz gin .75 oz simple syrup .75 oz fresh lemon juice Combine all ingredients and ice in a shaker; shake and strain into a glass; garnish with lemon slice or peel. ***Substituting fresh lime juice for the lemon juice is a Gimlet, and is also very good!
