Demsey Cocktail

Another college football Saturday in October.  Auburn wins 65 to 43.  LSU won 32 -10.
Our neighbor is a Baylor alum, so we are hoping they keep their 21 to 15 lead.
We had a wonderful meal at our Baylor neighbors tonight.  They are good company.  Our LSU neighbors joined us - so we had fun all around.

Olga and I had a 'Dempsey Cocktail' before we went to join them in watching the games. 
It was a stout drink, but pretty good.

Recipe (page no. 72 from the Bartender's Guide):

1 oz Gin (Booth's)
1 oz Apple Brandy (Laird's)
1/2 teaspoon Absinthe (La Fee)
1/2 teaspoon Grenadine

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass.

We also replaced our lime tree that bit the dust last winter (17 degrees apparently doesn't agree with lime trees in pots!). This time, I'll bring it inside if the temperature drops that much. Fresh limes are like our Meyer lemons ... very good.

Enjoy!
