Need a new drink

The one that did me in at Jean Lafite's Blacksmith Shop on an impromptu "Famous Cocktails of the French Quarter" evening a few years back that has since become a favorite: the Obituary Cocktail -- basically a gin martini with a dollop of Absinthe (or Pernod, before Absinthe was available in the states):

From "The Land of Forgotten Cocktails" http://www.thebollard.com/bollard/?p=2119

Obituary Cocktail

2 ounces gin
.25 ounce dry vermouth
.25 ounce (more or less) absinthe or absinthe substitute

Put all ingredients into an ice-filled mixing glass and stir briskly until well chilled. Strain into a chilled Martini glass. This may be garnished with a lemon twist. Or not â€" it's your funeral.

If your intent is to get even more stupidaso at a quick rate, any flavor Martooni will do, triangleforge's recipe sounds super.

basically a gin martini














 

A Martini is made with Gin. So it's just a Martini. The other is a Vodka Martini.

As far as martinis go, this is not bad.

+1 on scotch or whiskey

which reminds me, I've got a bottle of Gentlemen Jack over on the bar...

If the goal is to get as parallel to the floor as possible as soon as possible, I've got one for ya.

I invented it last year watching the Stanley Cup Finals. It's called Sidney Crosby's Tears.

3 oz Everclear
6 oz Sprite or Mist
as much ice as will fit in the glass. Garnish w/ either lemon or lime.

I was enjoying a good sippin' vodka last night at the bar downtown (Vladivistok). Double on the rocks (well - 1 ice cube) with a thin slice of lemon. Went down like water. Don't even know the brand. But, it was by far the smoothest vodka I've ever had. Tasted cleaner than the water. And, only cost me ~$2.
