As many of you know, I’m something of a whisky and cocktail aficionado. Figured I’d share some good recent experiments (both my own and some local mixologists’). Feel free to jump in and share.

Brightstone

  • 1.5 parts Old Tom gin
  • 1.5 parts Finlaggan whisky
  • 3/4 parts Sweet vermouth
  • Abbott’s bitters

Add all ingredients into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.
Strain into a chilled coupe.

Coalridge
Equal parts Finlaggan and Braulio (sub. any bitter amaro)
Mix in a chilled whisky tumbler.

That Daisho sounds amazing.

I’ve got some ideas for an Eye of Kotar, but I don’t have the booze to test it out :-/

The idea: flavored ice sphere (probably cherry and elderflower) in a glass of barrel-aged gin & lillet blanc w/ a cherry syrup float/splash on top.

Then again, the Eye,Hand, and Heart of Kotar seems like a 3-shot and your out for the evening type of flight. :stuck_out_tongue: So maybe those are shooters… :thinking:

If you want to go for the pun the Heart of Kotar could be Cynar based

Love all of the Amaros!

My current drink of choice matches the Blades aesthetic: a Black Manhattan. It’s 2 parts rye, 1 part Averna, and 2-3 dashes of angostura. Serve in a coupe glass.

Speaking of coupe glasses - have you tried the Nick and Nora style glasses? They’re 3-4 ounces, so you can imbibe without piflication…wry grin. Plus, anything that brings back The Thin Man has to be good!

A while back a friend (Tetromino#1974) and I created this in the Discord server and we made a little handout. Would love if someone would put recipes to the names and descriptions!

Though to be fair, one of these times I am planning on taking this into a bar and asking them to make something strictly based on the description. :slight_smile:

Yes, we use the Nick and Nora glasses all the time at home. They’re great. Here’s a Brightstone in one.

I invented the Velodrome Cocktail, a tribute to the wood track bicycle racing culture of the late 19th century.

1 oz St George Terroir Gin
1 oz Boomsma Genever
1 oz Noilly Prat Extra Dry

Stir with ice, strain.
Serve ungarnished in a chilled glass.
