My take on this is a Bloody Maria, made with Tequila and the spicy Limon Clamato Juice.

I like Marias too, but haven't tried them with the Clamato. Interesting...

Has anyone heard of the company Bittermilk? They make "craft" cocktail mixers. I usually prefer to just juice some lemons and make simple syrup, but some nights I am too lazy (or we don't have any lemons). I bought the Bittermilk Smoked Honey Whisky Sour mix. It's pretty dang good. They have a collins mix that I'm tempted to go and get.

Anyone here ever heard of Prince of Wales?
I'm not making it right at this moment, but I made it last night. It was a special occasion, my girl got engaged, ANYWAY, not the point.

Here's what you need:

1 1/2 oz https://archierose.com.au/shop/ whiskey
1 oz Champagne
1 small wedge of pineapple
1 pinch of Angostura bitters
1/4 tsp Maraschino liqueur
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp crushed ice

Begin my mixing the bitters and sugars in a cocktail mixer, then add the rye, liqueur, ice and pineapple. Next, strain the drink into your cocktail glass and the add the champagne.

It's smacktastically good!

Was it better than, or at least as good as, the sum of its parts?


I kind of winced when I ready this one, VC. Kinda like the guy whose father-in-law poured soda water into a 1985 Sassicaia to make it "better."

I like the thought of the combination of flavors, but would probably be more open to combining lesser ingredients if I were going to do something like this.

Or, I could just try it with a 1967 d'Yquem and a 1988 Krug and just say, "fuck it!"
