bloviatrix Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I've reduced my drinking significantly and have pretty much stopped making cocktails - I've lost my desire. I'll open the bottle of wine every so often. And I've drunk the occasional whisky. But that's it. I'm sure at some point I'll regain my mojo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Variation on the Manhattan: 1 1/2 oz. rye 1/2 oz. Punt e Mes (or 2:1 sweet vermouth:Campari) 1/2 oz. maraschino liqueur 3 dashes orange bitters 3 dashes aromatic bitters (I used Angostura) Place all ingredients in a mixing glass, add ice, stir vigorously, and strain into a coupe or cocktail glass. Garnish with expressed orange peel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 That’s more of a variation on a Red Hook, no? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Made with gin it would be close to a Martinez. I am thirsty now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plattetude Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'm about to dive into cocktail hour with a repeat of wacky, old skool Waldorf Astoria drink from earlier this week that just hits all the spots, The Chauncey. Triple-split base, equal parts Old Tom gin, cognac, rye, and sweet vermouth. (Orange bitters and expressed orange peel to finish.) It's magic how the cognac bridges the rye and Old Tom.

Sneakeater Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Yes! I literally stumbled on it two days ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Can I have one? Not a Chauncey: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakeater Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Actually I think I Listed it over the Quarantine. But I didn’t make one then. And forgot about it until I found it again a couple of days ago. (I can’t imagine who I think cares about this.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s was Punch Drink that posted about it early last year and that was my first knowledge of it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
