What are You Drinking RIGHT NOW? II

[Richard Chrz]

If you enjoy a good rye, this is one of my favorites, it is far better than the single barrel select rye, but not quite as good as the barrel proof. But,if you have not tried this, you should. I love that this is so available, wish it were a bit bigger bottle, but not complaining.

[Huskee]

I have yet to try that one. Good to know you like it.

[Richard Chrz]

Huskee for me, this has earned a forever in my home. Their whole bonded series 100 proof is really good.

Tuborg & Aquavit

[Richard Chrz]

Putting away a long week, enjoying a JD Bonded 100 proof Rye, some chuck eye steaks, asparagus and mushrooms.

[ssandy_561]

Old fashioned made with maple syrup that was aged in bourbon barrels. 🔥

[Huskee]

Nothing much to see with an extra dry martini w/ no garnish (my preference), except I thought the background looked cool.

[barelfly]

Nice guitars there!

[Purc]

I love a good See Through.

[WayneT]

Martini with a twisted glass.

[Neris]

Easter Sunday Rioja. A very nice present from earlier in the year

[barelfly]

A fancy cappuccino! Amazing how much easier whole milk is to make art with compared to oat milk!

[WayneT]

Fancy indeed. Well done artwork.

[Richard Chrz]

I still enjoy a good rum vs. a 86-90 bourbon or whiskey. Now when we talk barrel proof, and high ryes, that’s a different story, I like a bold whiskey’

Im chilling to some music and enjoying a warm spring day out back. Just taught a friend what he needs to know on his new 26 kettle, he’s ordering his FireBoard tomorrow, and left with a bag of BB.

[WayneT]

Yowsa! I’ve had the Grahams 20 & 30 so this stuff must be over the moon. Gratz on a great choice and pour.

[Dewesq55]

I wanted to go for the 30 but they were out of it so, seeing as it was my birthday dinner, I splurged on the 40. It was great, but probably not with the $$$$.

Mari Jo and I just finished binge watching Only Murders in the Building on Netflix with Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez. In one episode, Mabel (Selena) said her favorite cocktail was a Mezcal Old Fashioned. True to her mixologist proclivities, Mari Jo bought some good quality Mezcal to try this. Holy smokes folks, put the brandy and bourbon away and get some Mezcal! It takes an Old Fashioned to another level where the rarified air is.

I used my cocktail smoker to add some cherry wood smoke to the drinks. Fun!



Ignition.



The smoking vessel gets capped so the smoke comes out through the holes below into the cocktail.



I give you the Cherry Smoked Mezcal Old Fashioned.

[WayneT]

fzxdoc Yes, Meryl Streep really rocks her role. (See what I did.)

[fzxdoc]

Yup, she should be inducted in the Rockin' Role Hall of Fame. (following your lead here )

[Greygoose]

Or,,, the rocking hall of FLAME !!!

[Purc]

Traditionally, my 1st Gin and Tonic of the season is when I'm watching the golf tourny in Augusta on tv.

[barelfly]

Excellent tradition!!!!!!

[MsTwiggy]

This one got away from me but fits my garnish. Last dregs on a whale of a boulavardier 😂 🔥🔥🐿️ Cheers

[Richard Chrz]

Salute

this one comes in at 135.7 proof

[Attjack]

I forget what I made her but the one in front was a delicious Industry Sour from the weekend.

Industry Sour

1 oz Fernet Branca
1 oz Green Chartreuse
1 oz lime juice
1 oz simple syrup

[SheilaAnn]

The garnish suggests a mint julep? Both look mighty tasty!

[Attjack]

SheilaAnn It was a variation of a mint julep but I've forgotten the name. I know it had apricot liqueur in it.

[Elton's BBQ]
