But the drink is merry.
I chose a 'Black Hawk Cocktail' (on page 40 in the Bartender's Guide) for the day. I don't usually care for Sloe Gin, but it mellowed the whiskey in this drink beautifully. The drink was very tasty.
All in all a nice drink that I would reorder if I were paying for it.
The recipe:
1 1/4 oz Whiskey (Old Forester)
1 1/4 oz Sloe Gin (LeRoux)
Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. No garnish was specified but I served the drink with a cherry.
I also mixed a second drink tonight (I was thirsty after a physical therapy appointment). For that I selected a Southern Comfort Manhattan, again. But, this time I refined the recipe some and enjoyed it much more than reported previously.
The (new) recipe (not from the Bartender's Guide):
2 oz. Southern Comfort
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth (Martini & Rossi - I ran out of Noilly Prat)
Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Serve with a cherry.
Maybe it was the change in Vermouth but the cocktail was better than the one prepared last week!
To your health!
