Cocktail for the Weekend

[Attjack]

I have a couple of cocktails for you this week and a Mocktail.

I'm going to start my Friday off with a tequila Manhattan.

Distrito Federal

2 ounces reposado tequila
1 ounce sweet vermouth
2 dashes orange bitters
Garnish: lime twist
Garnish: cocktail cherry (optional)

------------------------------------------------

I'm trying to figure out if I have the right Jasmine growing in my yard for the garnish.

Midnight in Morocco

2 Oz. Blanco tequila (espinosa uses volcan)
1/2 oz. Crème de violette
1/2 oz. Orgeat
3/4 oz. Fresh lime juice
1/4 oz. Maraschino liqueur
1-2 dashes of habanero bitters (such as Scrappy’s Firewater)
garnish: white edible flowers

------------------------------------------------

Here's a refresher when you're feeling alright already.

Lemon, Lime, and Bitters

4 oz. chilled club soda
1 oz. simple syrup
½ oz. fresh lemon juice
½ oz. fresh lime juice
½ tsp. Angostura bitters

What will you be drinking?

I picked up a few treats today. I purchased a case and a six pack of this scotch ale, the case will be cellared first 5 years, with one beer being tasted annually to see how it is aging.

[Attjack]

Nice. I have never cellared beer before. I hope yours ages well!

[Richard Chrz]

Attjack, I have a neighbor that has a lot of beer cellared, so he is helping me a bit. I plan on cellaring 100 beers a year, and then in 5 years, I will have a fantastic collection to start to fully enjoy. And just add a 100 more ..

I have to do mocktails, being a sober companion for an employee that just got on the wagon 3 weeks ago. All mo ktail recipes are welcome.

Mixed up a couple of Tommy's Margaritas last night. One of our favorites. Much cleaner tasting without the Orange Liqueur.
