in the 2k10 i am learning to make cocktails. this is my mixology thread

not campari-related, but delicious

sazerac? vieux carre? martinez?

there’s such a deep well of drinks in the space you’re in, possibly only limited by the amount of amari you can acquire.

Made a martinez, had a little italian at a pizzeria around the corner but, the other two haven't heard of, cheers!

vieux carre is def a go-to of mine

One great sub is to mister-potatohead Laird's Straight Apple Brandy (BIB, 100 proof) into any whiskey recipe.
Also, every new aged rum I get I try out in a rum Old Fashioned.

I'm looking at two clairins (Haitian rhum agricole) on the shelf and wondering why I haven't subbed those into Negroni versions before. A job for tomorrow or Saturday.

oh man I never even considered a rum old fashioned

btw WmC, if you really need that Cruzan Black Strap there is tons here and it's like $15 a bottle, you know how to reach me ;)

One of my liquor stops* in Memphis has it and I'm going up early next month so I'll grab a bottle then. Thank you though!

*Buster's is legit one of the top 20 liquor stores in the country imo, and they just opened a 2nd, even bigger, location today.

Love a good stirred rum drink.

A few I like are the 100 Year Old Cigar, Ash Tray Heart, Black Prince, Bye Bye Batista, Desk Job, Drunken Dodo, and Rum River Mystic.

There's also the Kingston Negroni (subbing Smith & Cross for gin), which seems to have become somewhat popular, though it's not one of my favorites.

Oops, messed up one of those links; try Black Prince.

Rebennack variant
1.5 oz Rye
.75 oz Averna
.25 oz Cointreau
2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
orange peel for garnish

Oooh -- Averna and Cointreau!

It's got a really nice orange/chocolate/whiskey thing going on.

ooh gonna get some Averna and try that one

xps Love the 100 Year Old Cigar. Gonna have to try an Ash Tray Heart.
