Tailspin
1 1/2 oz London Dry Gin
1 oz sweet Vermouth
1 oz Green Chartreuse
1 dash Orange Bitters
Garnish with Lemon twist
Mix in mixing glass, add ice, chill and pour into a chilled coupe that has been rinsed in Campari. Disposed of the small amount of Campari left after rinsing glass.

I like to keep my drink fairly simple
Whiskey (Bourbon) sour.

2 ounces Bourbon
About 3/4 ounce to 1 ounce lemon juice
About 3/4 ounce to 1 ounce lime juice
1 to 1 1/2 ounces simple syrup

You can shake over ice, or just pour over ice, if you'd like but since I keep my whiskey in the freezer no ice is needed and I top it off with just a little bit of cold water and call it good.

No way that this cocktail is supposed to taste this good given it's simple individual parts. The pure definition of synergy IMHO. The Negroni. Equal parts London Dry Gin, Sweet Vermouth, and Campari with an orange zest.

The RC St. Germain
1 1/2 oz Rye
.75 oz Campari
.75 oz. St. Germain
Mix with ice, stir for about 15 seconds, pour in glass and garnish with orange twist.
It's a variation on the Negroni with a totally different flavor. Very nice indeed.

Brown Derby
1.5 oz Bourbon (I use Bottled in Bond)
1 of grapefruit juice (freshly juiced of course)
.5 oz Honey Syrup made from equal measures of honey and hot water

Shake over ice and serve up with a garnish of grapefruit zest.

Room temperature bourbon.
Clean glass.
Profit.

Nice.
My local hooch monger keeps OGD BIB on the shelf to appease me. He claims he sells much more of the 114 and the 86 versions which strikes me as odd. The BIB is much tastier than the weaker version.

Negroni time!

The Revolver
2 oz bourbon
1/2 oz coffee liquor
2 dashes of orange bitters

Mix in mixing glass with ice. Strain and pour into coupe glass and garnish with orange peel twist after expressing the oils. A vanilla bomb and with the orange taste like a dream sickle with a kick. A good friend of mine made some home made "kuhlua". Did a super job and that is the coffee liquor I used in this cocktail.

Dave that's a gorgeous liquor cabinet.

Thanks brother. My wife got that for me. She has a keen eye for old pieces and restores them.

Now I'm double impressed. She does some excellent work. That piece doesn't look restored at all, it just looks like it has been taken care of since new.
