The perfect sipping drink on a spring day, this variation on the Rat King shot will impress your friends.

3/4oz of each campari, cynar, Jaegermeister, malort, Fernet branca is stirred over ice. A bar spoon of Benedictine as a topper, plus an expressed orange peel as Garnish.

Wonderful notes of bitterness, vegetal, mint, cigarette smoke, and licorice compete for your attention. The orange oils meld with the mild spice of Benedictine to mellow it all out. The perfectly balanced drink. I'll be making it as a freezer door cocktail ahead of my next party.

cold y fresh!

Just curious if anyone of you own any Nezumi watches. How are they? Worth the money? Etc

Was eyeing their GMT as I want a GMT and it fits my style and price range.

Grilling shrimp for tacos so I wanted something with mezcal.

Riffing on the Manhattan recipe I did the following:

1.5oz mezcal

. 75oz sweet vermouth

. 5oz pasubio amaro

Stirred over ice, served with lime garnish.

Very good. I feared it'd be too smoky and pulled the mezcal back to one and a half ounces but I think next time I'll stick closer to the 2:1 ratio of liquor to vermouth. A little smokey but also sweet and the agave shines through. Would make again.

Me, an intellectual

Tell me. What's your fetish. Whisper.
