Had to look this one up. At first, I thought it would be some fermented pineapple, drunk from a coconut.

Add everything to a cocktail shake and double strain into a cocktail glass.

Watered down Manhattan

Mr. Howell
Oaxaca Old Fashioned

Made a batch of Del Frisco's VIP cocktail for my cousin's Halloween party. Super easy to make and the chicks dig it. Competes with the Woo-Woo for panty remover status

VIP
2 ripe pineapples cored and chopped
1.75 L Svedka clementine vodka

Mix everything in a large container. Let marinate for 2 weeks in a cool dark place, while shaking every day. Strain out vodka. Crush pineapple and squeeze the juice out - or just use a juicer. Mix everything together, bottle and store in fridge.

Add 4 oz to cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into a cocktail glass.

Maker's Mark Old Fashioned

I came across a mixer product called Barsmith Old Fashioned. It's a shortcut to making a pretty decent OF if you don't have all the ingredients. About $5. Not as good as mine, of course, but I've had much worse from many bartenders.

Last night a few neighbors stopped by:

Grilled pineapple infused mezcal margarita
Bombay Sapphire martini
Sherried Cherry
Mr. Howell
Fanciulli

Needless to say the this morning was very difficult

Old Fashioned - Maker's Mark

Hmmm...haven't had either in a while. May have to change that

I made a rusty nail with Talisker, didn't think it worked well. Probably should have used a blended scotch or a more mellower scotch.

I use The Famous Grouse as my mixing Scotch for cocktails (Penicillin, Blood & Sand, etc) . Works really well.

Not surprised it didn't work! A good blended scotch will do just fine. I don't think I've ever made a cocktail with single malt.

This morning for late breakfast with a friend. Bloody Marys. Mmmmmm....

Porn Star Martini

Weller 12
Splash of Canada Dry ginger ale
Real nice, clean ice cubes

Made Chocolate Martinis for the Christmas party - the ladies love em. Pre-make a large batch and just pour 4 or 5 oz into your shaker:

Chocolate Martini
1 oz Absolut Vanilla Vodka
1 oz Disaronno Amaretto
1 oz Bailey's
1 oz Kahlua
0.5 oz Godiva Chocolate Liqueur
0.5 oz Marie Brizard Creme de Cacao

Shake with ice, and strain into a cocktail glass.

Had this Prohibition-era cocktail at a get-together the other night.

The Last Word
Equal parts gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur, and fresh lime juice. Shaken, and served straight up. Not bad.

0.75 oz Green Chartreuse
0.75 oz Luxardo Maraschino
0.75 oz Lemon Juice

The Blackspur
1 part Bombay Sapphire
3/4 part St. Germain

I'd probably like that better, as I am very fond of Rittenhouse.
