I make cocktails regularly, just not the fancy ones…

My version of a margarita a few weeks back:

Silver Tequila
Fresh lime juice
Simple syrup
Triple sec
Angostura bitters
Topo Chico
Lime zest

Ha I thought I rarely made cocktails too.

What bourbon and tequila are you drinking at the moment?

[Jett129]

Siembra Valles Reposado and my local liquor stores barrel of Eagle Rare.

Gorgeous weather prompted me to make a tiki drink.

Battle of Batida
1.5 oz cachaca (I used pisco, and also tried it with Clement rhum)
1.5 oz coconut milk
0.75 oz lime
0.5 oz simple (not pictured)
Shake the piss out of it with ice
Top with ground nutmeg

I like both versions. If you told me I had to make a drink with pisco I’d make this one. If you told me I had to make this particular drink I’d use rhum. If you told me to make a rhum drink I’d probably choose something else. However this is very good in either version. The pisco has a raw funkiness that makes it unique. The rhum loses that but in my opinion makes up for it with depth. This would also work good blended with ice if you were so inclined, but you’d have to play with ratios.

Apologies for allowing this thread to slip to page 2. I’ll try to do better.

No ice, no slice.

That’s how you do it. Have a stout aged in Buffalo Trace barrels, for a year. I think you,as well as several others,might like it.

My only dilemma is which knob to guzzle! (Earmuffs)

Hemingway daiquiri. Sugar is subbed out for grapefruit juice and maraschino. I like equal parts lime and grapefruit, and just a few dashes of maraschino, most recipes call for more. (I keep my maraschino in a bitters style dashing bottle for this purpose)

Frozen "Battle of Batida."  I made the non-frozen version of this previously.  For the frozen version:

-Fill blender half full of ice
-3 oz Pisco (or cachaca or rhum)
-3 oz coconut milk
-1 oz simple syrup
-1.5 oz lime juice (a whole lime)
-Blend and top with ground nutmeg

Very nice drink for the gorgeous weather we're having.  Also, my wife was outside with our daughter and walked in on me making this, which made me feel like:

I've probably posted that before, but you can never watch it too many times.

Pina….something! 

[tvenuto]

@organisys thanks for letting me know I'm not the only Girl Drink Drunk this sunday afternoon.

[organisys]

Its no girl drink with the amount of Rum I add!
Not a real Pina Collada anyway, just what was in the cupboards…

Great on a hot evening with a ton of ice...

Bullet Bourbon. Originally tried in Burg und Shild while I was debating which jacket to buy.

A Denver distillery, A. D. Laws, makes a pretty good Bourbon. Trying the bottled in bond. Not bad, makes a deece Manhattan with these ingredients.
