They claimed it was invented in San Francisco. I had no idea! We tend to brag about Irish Coffee. FYI: I had my first martini made with Plymouth gin last weekend and it was made the way the video shows. I'm not impressed with Plymouth though; it doesn't have any flavor.

You want a whiskey sour? OK, here it is.
Having OD'd last night on my late husband's whiskey sours, I'm going to take
a pass on today's event, but not before passing his recipe on: HIMSELF'S WHISKEY SOURS In metal part of cocktail shaker set place: 6 tablespoons superfine sugar 13 1/2 ounces any ole whiskey 6 ounces lemon juice (fresh or frozen Minute Maid) 6-8 ice cubes Place glass part of shaker set into top of metal part, flip, and shake until sugar is dissolved. Pour through strainer into whiskey sour glasses, into each of which you have placed: 1 maraschino cherry 1 teaspoon of maraschino cherry juice (the secret ingredient) This is the Only Way to make whiskey sours. I will tolerate no variations. Have a splendid afternoon! Felice |

My fave martini gin. I think it's interesting that notbob specified "martini" gin, since it seems to me that gins vary so much that it might actually make sense to have different gins for different drinks. For example, based on what I've read recently I think the new Tanqueray Rangpur might be good for gin & tonic, but not as good for Ramos gin fizzes. In shopping for Delilah ingredients last week I found that there's a much greater range of flavors in gins than I'd realized; manufacturers are departing quite strongly from the traditional idea of what a gin is supposed to be. (I ended up buying a bottle of Citadelle and a bottle of some off-brand which I was hoping would taste of juniper and little else.) Until last week, I thought that gin could be broken down into two main types: English and Dutch. English gin is what most people think of as gin: It's a white spirit mainly flavored with juniper, with side notes from other flavoring agents. Dutch gin is markedly different from English gin. To start with, it's often brown in color, and deeper in flavor. Traditionally, Dutch gin is served neat in ceramic cups which are filled to the point where surface tension causes the gin to bow out above the rim of the cup. But today's gin producers are starting to emphasize the non-juniper flavors in gin to the point where it's debatable whether it's still appropriate to call the products "gin". I don't know the difference between the top-selling gins, e.g., Beefeater, Gilbey's, Gordon's, or Seagram's; maybe someone here can expound on the qualities of those gins. I am familiar with Tanqueray and Bombay Sapphire, but neither of them strike me as something I need to seek out and consume on a regular basis. I might just have to buy "airline" bottles of several brands to take notes on how they differ. I'm particularly interested in the Anchor gins (they make both a Dutch and English version), in the Rogue Spirits' gins (both the spruce and the pink spruce), and in the Hendrick's gins. Bob |

That is where Gilbey's, Gordon's, and the like are acceptable. For drinking with tonic or as a martini, I like the premium gins. I'd never waste Hendricks (my favorite) in some fruity drink. It has a nice infusion of flavors that can be appreciated either on ice or with some tonic. IMO, the Tangueray Rangpur was too heavily lime flavored for my taste. Their Malacca, though, is excellent, as is Ten. I'd never turn down Bombay, Tangueray, Boodles, Beefeater, or a handful of others in that price range. Taste is such a personal thing you'd really have to try a few to decide. Like any spirit, the low end tends to have a bit more bite, the high end smoother. |

Tangueray is better for martinis. I've never heard of Dutch gin before, I'll have to look that up. BTW, gin tastes nasty (maybe not the high dollar stuff, I dunno), and tonic water tastes nasty, but when you mix them together with a little lemon or lime it tastes great. I can't figure out how that works. Bob |

I am unable to detect any real difference among those three and they all make perfectly good gin and limes.

I was about to leave when I_am_Tosk dropped by. He's not much of a drinker, but he said he had a beer with me. A good time was had by all and everyone had gone home by midnight PST. I want to put my head together with sky to figure out how many total participated. We saw quite a few people who have never or rarely been in chat, so it was really nice. -- I love cooking with wine.

Aguardiente is more of an ouzo or other anise-scented beverage, made in Columbia, not at all what the proper Cachaça offers in its almost rum-scented hot and assertive cane sugar distillate made only in Brazil. Try them against each other; nevermore will "Aguardiente" pass your lips in the context of Caipirinha. pavane |
