    Yours looks pretty cloudy, what’s going with that? Here’s what I was making.

    Not that it looks bad, but if it's not muddled, it's just a glass of bourbon with garnish.

    When I make ice for drinks, I use bottled water.

    I should probably do that too. I'm just not quite motivated enough I guess. I don't feel like it alters the taste enough to warrant the extra waste

    Gotcha probably the ice, and did you muddle the cherries?
    Cigars were made to be smoked, whiskey was made to be drank and women were made to be loved. The only thing I try to age is myself.

    Noooooo, there’s 2 kinds of bitters, sweet vermouth, sugar cube, oil from the orange peel and BOURBON (which should be capitalized because it’s awesome) and if you’re really nuts a tiny smidge of maple syrup.

    Vermouth?! And I thought I was doing it wrong. I'll have to try the maple though. That sounds good

    I thought you were all crazy I googled and couldn’t find the recipe I’ve been using, every recipe I found sounded like yours.

    Got some Bulleit 95 rye and some fixings, made this one with a maraschino cherry.

    My cocktail set and ice molds came in. Made a pretty simple one tonight. And it's far superior to my old way. Skipped the orange peel and just used a double helping of orange bitters. I love these drinks

    Tell me if this is crazy, freeze my Kirkland Canadian Whisky a use the whiskey ice in Rye, Bourbon, and Scotch drinks.

    Do you have a ridiculously cold freezer? 
  • Captain_CallCaptain_Call Posts: 1,553 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I've never gotten whiskey to freeze. 
  • YaksterYakster Posts: 27,600 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Ah, yes, I thought I read this but it does make sense it wouldn't freeze.

    I missed this. Heres whats left of a Woodford old fashioned. Just angostura bitters, orange peel, ice ball. Skipped the cherries. I usually skip the sugar unless im using a rye.

    Didn't miss it yet, Saturday May 19th for the Old Fashioned vHerf.

    I think I prefer martinis or straight Whisky.

    You could just mash up some cherrys and drop them in your Rolling Rock...we won’t judge
