Like you told him, some people think fantasy football = real football. Easy to pick them out. He was probably a Raiduh fan last year.

I may only have one tooth, but it's capped with platinum and diamond encrusted.

Just fixed myself a vanilla white russian. I'm thinking it is going to be the first drink of many this evening.

BigOlChiefsfan · 09-10-2005, 04:35 PM

Just bought a replacement bottle of Wild Turkey Rye 101 today, so I foresee a couple of Manhattans as entree tonite. There'll be a Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout for dessert. Ummmm. Oatmeal stout.

Manhattan

2 ounces rye whiskey
1/2 ounce sweet vermouth
1 dash of Angostura bitters (optional)
Shake with cracked ice; strain into chilled cocktail glass and serve. Variation: Use bourbon instead of rye.

"Rye whiskey, rye whiskey",
I heard the man cry,
"If I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die."

You know, I do not think I have ever had rye whiskey. My Manhattans have always been made with bourbon.

I think I'll make my second white russian and now, and then move to something else....

RH, are you still in Houston? There was a cigar-bar over on Kirby around Westheimer that had a heckuva good whiskey selection. Step in there and tell the barkeep you'd like a proper manhattan, with Van Winkle rye if they've got it.

The distillers add Rye grain to most bourbon mash in order to bring up more of a spicy flavor that balances the corns sweetness. Only a handful of real American rye whiskey's are available these days. Old Overholt is your best $10-12 bet, WT Rye is ~ $16 or so, Van Winkle rye is $30 or so, jump on that if you see it, Speqs should have it. A few other decent rye's can be had back east (where rye was more traditional. Pennsylvannian "Old Monongahela" is what George Washington and Andy Jackson drank. Rev. Elijah Craig hadn't invented the charred-barrel aging process and real bourbon yet. God bless him).

Actually, I just moved out of Houston two weeks ago today. I'm now up in north east Texas near Tyler, in a dry county.

When ever I make my boot leg trips to neighboring counties I'll keep my eye open for the ryes you mentioned. I know I can trust your judgement, I frequently drink Wild Turkey Russell's Reserve after trying it on your reccomendation. Infact, that may be my next drink.....

FWIW, if you're not in the mood for a Manhattan I like rye whiskey highballs-- rye mixed with ginger ale or (better) Stewart's ginger beer.

This giraffe walked into a bar and said "Drink up fellas. The highballs are on me."
