I'm going to need to go try this at some point.
The Bar Is Open!
A proper Wisconsin Old Fashioned:
Rocks glass, sugar the bottom.
Add a cherry and orange slice.
Douse with bitters. And now that you think you used enough bitters, do it again. You need a few more dashes there, bud.
Muddle well, just don't crush the orange peel.
Add 1.5 oz of brandy. And then a splash more for good measure. Korbel is traditional, but it's very sweet and there's enough sweetness in there already. I prefer a dry brandy and Press House from Wollersheim (a local winery) is unmatched. Stir vigorously.
6-8 ice cubes topped with soda.
Sweet = 7up, Sour = Squirt, Press = half each.
It will foam if you added enough bitters.
Garnish with orange slice and cherries.
My grandpa would garnish with pickled brussel sprouts for salty balance, but, nah.
Enjoy!

I’m one of those rare people who really likes Malört, and I love Negronis, so I decided I wanted to try my hand at inventing a Malört-based Negroni.
Witness the Malöni. I must say, I really liked it and my wife, who does not like Malört, liked it as well. I think it’s gorgeous o\in the glass.
1.5 London Dry Gin
1.0 Cocchi Americano
.5 Malört, though I may try increasing it a bit
2 dashes grapefruit bitters
Stir over ice, pour over large cube. I may garnish with a grapefruit twist when I think to get some grapefruit.

Sounds pretty good
Flor de Cana and Coke zero
Guinness syrup? I am curious now!
I'd start with a shot (1.5oz) of the Beam Apple and add at least 4oz of ginger ale, but probably more like 6oz especially if you add the Fireball.

Made one of these tonight and had to say it was pretty good!
We do one similar, except throw fresh cranberries in the vitamix with everything and blend it together, call it a Mistletoe Margarita. Love it!

Made a Lion’s Tail the other day after discussing Disney cocktails on another server. General consensus was that the Tempting Tigress, which is served at Nomad Lounge in Animal Kingdom, is a riff on the Lion’s Tail.
- 2 ounces bourbon
- 1/2 ounce allspice dram
- 1/2 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
Let’s bump this thing up!
Keeping it simple tonight. Aviation for the Mrs., Dark ‘n’ Stormy for me

Anyone had any luck with "Masters" themed cocktails? We will be having a Masters Saturday party this year and I'm wanting to try some stuff out
Just a Sazerac to polish off the night
