The Byproduct. Thank you for reminding me of this drink. Last week before I had to go on the road, I poured enough tomato water down the sink for at least one, if not 2 cocktails. I will not do that again. I'll use my souper cube to freeze what I'[ve got for future use. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StephanieL Posted September 30 Author Share Posted September 30 Our Mexican lime tree has yielded its first crop, so N asked me to make a cocktail using the juice and I had just enough for a Last Word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieL Posted October 4 Author Share Posted October 4 A really great Irish pub in Oakland is closing at the end of the month--the owners say it's due to a combination of lower foot traffic and higher crime. So, we celebrated N's good day with fish & chips, a Kilkenny Red Nitro for her, and a Doctor's Dilemma for me: poitin, green Chartreuse, Luxardo Maraschino liqueur, and lime juice.

Wilfrid Posted October 4 Share Posted October 4 Last of the Old Waldorf. But with blue curaçao not orange and a nut-based creamer instead of cream. Ages since I’ve had a creamy cocktail; very smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plattetude Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Late to the orange party, but when I have an orange to lend to a cocktail, I almost ALWAYS turn to the as-yet-unnamed tequila variation of a Monkey Gland that Phil Ward opened my mind to many years ago at Death&Co. 2 oz blanco tequila (or reposado, why not) 1 oz orange juice 1/2 oz grenadine (homemade unless you have some really good bottled stuff) dash absinthe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
