Or what has been your go to lately? I’m usually a whiskey and ginger kinda guy but I’m trying to branch out a little these days. What’re you drinking?

Currently sipping on a Paloma:

  • 1.5 oz Tequila (blanco)
  • .5oz lime juice
  • 4 oz Grapefruit soda (Jarritos today)
  • Pinch of salt

    I’m partial to the New Orleans cocktails. If I’m making a Sazerac, I like this variation.

    On the whole, though, my favorite has to be the Vieux Carré

    • 3/4 oz rye
    • 3/4 oz cognac
    • 3/4 oz sweet vermouth
    • 1/3 oz Bénédictine D.O.M
    • 2 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
    • 1 dash Angostura bitters
    • Optional absinthe rinse (I usually keep some absinthe in an atomizer because I refuse to throw out perfectly good absinthe)

    Serve in a rocks glass with a lemon twist

    At the same time, though, my love for bitter sometimes draws me to a Bonsoni:

    • 2 oz Carpano Antica vermouth
    • 1/2 oz Fernet Branca
