Anybody here ever had an Improved Whiskey Cocktail?

2oz rye
1/4oz Luxardo
1/4oz simple syrup
2 dashes Angostura
Absinthe rinse
Stirred with ice, served in an Old Fashioned glass with a twist of lemon

If you like an Old Fashioned, try this. Similar but much more complex.

i love my burbons/wiskeys. this sounds really good. i'll have to try it.

normally i just drink bulliet/woodford/maker's 46 straight in a riedel single malt whiskey glass.

when i am in the mood for a cocktail, i make modified dark and stormys.


ice
1.5 oz burbon(dark and stormys usually use dark rum)
2 oz coke
1 oz ginger beer.

throw all the ingredients in a shaker and shake the shit out of it.

strain off the ice in the shaker and pour into a highball glass full of ice.

On a Negroni kick right now: 1 part gin, 1 part Campari, 1 part sweet vermouth, orange twist (I like mine with lemon though)

I'll occasionally substitute the gin for bourbon to turn it into a Boulevardier.

Other favorite is the Sidecar: 1.5 parts cognac, 1/2 parts Cointreau, 1/2 parts lemon juice, pinch of sugar or simple syrup. Adding a 1/2 part of dark rum will turn it into a Between the Sheets and that usually gets you into her panties.

Sleeve - that Bloody Caesar sounds amazing. I'm going to have one with breakfast tomorrow.

Anyway, one of my rules of life is: The cornier the name, the worse the drink.

you can find Clamato in asia???? I love them and play with the ratios and have found I really like them with a bit more fresh lime than most... and have also found that if you add about 2 extra dashes of Lea & Perins you can cut back a little bit on hot sauce and get a little more complex flavor with out the hot sauce over taking everything

Its been a long time since I have had a sidecar. Might just have to have one of those next time we go out.... I used to get a boxcar once in a while as well....

You might like a Blood and Sand too form the sounds of it.

3/4 oz Scotch whisky
3/4 oz rosso vermouth
1/4 oz cherry brandy
1 1/2 oz orange juice

Shake over ice cubes, strain into a chilled cocktail glass, and serve.
