bloviatrix Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Sicilian Negroni. Equal parts gin, Campari (or in this case Luxardo Bitter Rosso) and freshly squeezed Blood Orange juice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 This wasn't a cocktail, but I think Forthave Red is an excellent aperitivo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Just finished up the blood oranges. They sure are photogenic. I made another Cherry Negroni last night, but garnished with lemon so not worth photographing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bloviatrix Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Baroness Collins. Lovely, but seasonably inappropriate. Something to think of on a hot steamy day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I should note that spouse was reluctant to try cuz it was "pink" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Huh. When I make a Baroness Collins, it's red. Mine goes like this; muddle 6 mint leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Pour in 1-1/2 oz. Gin, 1/2 oz. Campari, 1 oz. lime juice, and 3/4 oz. Simple Syrup. Fill with ice. Shake. Strain into a Collins glass over ice. Garnish with a mint sprig. Is yours different? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The recipe I used called for topping with club soda which diluted it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sneakeater Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I can’t see how it could be a Collins without club soda. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
small h Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I probably make it wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Sometimes, after a long week, you just want a Manhattan: 3 ingredients, nothing fancy (not even simple syrup). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Finally got my hands on a bottle of Applejack, so made myself a Jack Rose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Laird's original distillery (where I think they still have a base) is almost down the road from where I grew up in NJ. I didn't know this until very recently. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bloviatrix Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 This was not Laird's (it's not kosher). It's from a distillery called Black Dirt that's in Warwick, NY. Not many places carry it and Astor had been out for a while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
