thx Endo , give my very best

@mclaincausey This is the only El Jolgorio that they currently have in stock,and even on sale might be out of my league. They have quite a few that are listed as out of stock,but not the one you spoke of. I have a bottle of the Nuestra Soledad,which was recommended to me and it’s very nice for the price. Alipus level. Had no idea it was connected to the El Jolgorio.

end of work week, start into a long weekend, tonight's choice
(well, first round)

[Tago Mago]

@endo how do you find the valdotaine bitters?

[endo]

it's excellent, here I went for a classic 1:1:1 negroni, but split the bitter/amaro side in aperol and valdotaine 50:50
great result, not too heavy, fruity

[gouki74]

Ahah nice ,

It is common where i live (the french alps) to have a special place to eat and have parties with my friends, family and i, it's called "Un Carnotzet" here's mine with differents walls of hard drinks:

[endo]

that looks very cosy @gouki74, would love to have a drink there, or two
have you been to la Reunion?

[gouki74]

@endo if you pass around, it would be a pleasure
For the reunion, i have been there twice, my wife's brother live there and we have some friend also.

[endo]

I need to go there. Very much liked Mauritius, but this sounds even better.

[gouki74]

Yes Mauritius is more for the beach, to tan and so on. La reunion is wilder, better for hikking...

[rovdjurstorget]

Great thread. Like many others I developed my “home bar” during the COVID lockdown era, and went from having a few bar tools to having pretty much everything

Some of my favorite cocktails:

Manhattan
Negroni/Boulevardier
Old fashioned
Whiskey Sour

Scotch:
Lagavulin
Ardbeg
Laphroig
Johnny Walker, any label

Gin:
Monkey 47
Hendricks, any kind (Midsummer Solstice is great for a Negroni)
Tanqueray

I’d like to try Aviation sometime

Rum:
Diplomático
Plantation

[Tago Mago]

We’ve tried a bunch of gins and in the end decided that we’d stick with a few select ones because we felt that rum offers greater variety. So basically it’s Whitley Neal as standard, Botanist, and something like Le Gin by Christian Drouin and Little Bird

[Tago Mago]

Tough decision

[Jett129]

@Tago-Mago The Four Square rums are,hands down,the best I’ve ever had. If I could try any of them it would be the Single Cask.
