Going to have to have one of those next race, the new boats make the America's Cup a truly exciting race.

We've regularly been making:
Prosecco, Pamplemousse (grapefruit) liqueur, basil or mint, ice. Very refreshing summer drink.
Had it at a restaurant and been replicating it regularly ever since

Made a large batch of the Goombay Smash. But this time I used Sailor Jerry spiced rum instead of dark rum. I think it came out better. Deceptively strong. Paying for it today 
Had leftover pineapple juice, coconut rum, and spiced rum from the Goombay Smash, so I made what can best be described as a Caribbean Sea Breeze. Not my cup of tea, but the chicks loved it

Seems like anything naval related, especially from that area, would be rum based. Although absinthe was the rage during that time.

A lot of aperol sprtiz's on the dock over the weekend.
Strawberry Peppercorn Smash. A pretty refreshing Bourbon cocktail with muddled strawberry, basil and fresh ground black pepper. A nice change.
Deep Eddy grapefruit vodka with club soda.
Negronis made with Few barrel aged gin. Came close to replicating the whole cocktail being aged but obviously there is no change in the vermouth like when it's barrel aged.
Thinking about getting some small barrels to age Manhattans and Negronis then just bottling them for future use.

I used to use barrels, but now I throw one of these in a 3 QT glass container. Much more versatile IMHO:

Interesting! Good to know. Much easier. The only problem becomes now I want to buy about a dozen different bottles of Vermouth/Amaro to "test" with...
Mangiare? Vinoevelo? Sunny? VinT? CSM? night around a dining room table mixing drinks for a few hours while our significant others look on in increasing disgust and resignation?
The Last Word:
1 oz Green Chartreuse
1 oz Maraschino Liquor
1 oz Gin
1 oz Lime Juice
Shake hard in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. strain and serve up.
Surprisingly delicious. Careful though, or it will have "the last word".

Just saw this Rob. I'm due for one of these.
I saw let's do it.
I just came across a shortcut to making an Old Fashioned, Barsmith Old Fashioned.
Tastes a little bit different from the way I make them, but very good nonetheless. Also cuts about 6 minutes off the time from thinking about one, to drinking one. Which is what I'm doing now.

I used to barrel age a lot of different cocktails. Some worked...others didn't. Always use high proof booze like Rittenhouse. These are my favorites. Good luck:
