Not a bad drink, but I've gone over to Old Fashioneds on the rare occasion when I want something that sweet (around Christmas time).

Jameson, then New Castles, quick switch to vodka tonics, and finished off with a high life I'm not sure I tasted...AND my typing skills are officially shaky. But I feel like a million bucks. Starting grad school Monday!

Good evening planet.

A manhattan is a whiskey martini, for all intents. I make my manhattan with Rye whiskey, as they were originally made. Rye is a lot easier to find nowdays, Old Overholt is available almost everywhere - it's cheap and very good. I keep Old Overholt, and Wild Turkey rye 101, there are a a lot more nowdays but those are the two I always keep in stock. Rittenhouse 100 and Russel's Reserve, Baby Sazerac are available here in KC. Old Overholt runs $12 or so, the others run up to the mid $20s.

Pour a jigger of rye, third to half a jigger or so of sweet vermouth and a few shakes of bitters in a cocktail shaker with one ice cube. I shake until the ice is mostly gone, then serve in a 'rocks' glass. Most bars usually put them in a cocktail glass, like a martini. Some folks do like the maraschino cherry, I skip them. Have one buddy who likes them so much that he keeps a jar of the cherries, drained of their juice and refilled with bourbon. I think they ruin my boyish figure.

I've gotten a few of my friends hooked on these. After they ran thru the Russell's Reserve I gave them, they had trouble finding more real rye at their liquor store, so they learned to like them made with canadian whiskey. Most Canadian contains some rye in their blend, less now than in the past.

You can make the same recipe with blended Scotch, then they're called a Rob Roy. They're all a pretty good drink on a chilly night. Or a hot night, come to think of it.

151, eh?

Have fun waking up from that coma tomorrow.

I might do a couple of shots of Ice 101 once I get to the bar, just to get the juices flowing. I'm not man enough to drink 151 straight.

I figure 6-7 Captain and Cokes at the house before I go out, then a couple shots once I get there and I'll be able to set it on cruise control the rest of the night. Have a few beers, shoot a few games of pool, talk to a few bustacious skanks...

Jonesy - Australian tawny 'port'. Sweet, dried fruits. Great with flan or creme brulee, or day old donuts. Whatever you got, it's good with it. Fortified wine = 30 proof or so. This one will fly under the radar and have the bishop kicking out his new stained glass windows. It's stupid good for stupid cheap. Lucas in MO has it for $9/750. Parker rates it at 93, BOCF says 'yeah, what he said'.

I'm on a Schlafly Coffee Stout right now, with a Tucher Dopplebock to come later.

I've just been having trouble reaching a good and adequate intoxication level. For some reason, I have a very high tolerance despite me not weighing over 200 lbs. So, 151 it is. I've only had it in shots, not really used it in mixed drinks to predrink. We'll see if I go hoggin' or not!
