What Did You Drink Last Night?

[Gregg Axley]

Rue, nobody here would do that.
Okay so I've had my fill of the wine tonight, and I'm thinking this is the BEST SITE EVER!

a snifter of Chabot XO Superior Amagnac with a Monte Cristo, Open Master Cigar while watching the night sky. Hard to believe I was in southern Afghanistan only a week ago.

A Martini with Edinburgh Gin

You mean a dry martini? One of my favourite ranting topics is the word "martini" which is both deceptive and overused, as explained in this post of my blog: http://mralanedwards.blogspot.com/2011/08/martini.html

Thank you! We had a lovely evening - a delicious meal in one of our favourites restaurants followed by tipples in a great pub. Yesterday to continue celebrations we had some lovely NZ Astrolabe Pinot Noir.

Oops, I did it again..... (Zacapa Bottle)

Heresy, I know, but I've got a lonely bottle of Zacapa on my shelf that I've not found a great use for yet. I got tired of passing it over a couple nights ago and decided to pull it down and actually try to do something with it. Made a fairly basic sour, but it was quite, quite tasty...

1 oz Zacapa
1 oz Apple Brandy/Applejack/Obstler
1 oz Cointreau
1/2 oz Lemon Juice
1 dash Orange Bitters

One of my favourite ranting topics is the word "martini" which is both deceptive and overused...

Well... it's actually kind of the other way around. Martini started making vermouth in the mid-nineteenth century, a decade or two before even the Manhattan and Martinez, and at least 40 or so before the "dry" martini caught on. "Martini" as just M&R is mostly just a european phenomenon, which is understandable, since in Europe, the vermouth was there first, and is arguably still way more popular. In mainland Europe, I've had to generally ask for an "American Martini" to get the gin variety.
