Classic and Neo-Classic Cocktails:
- Brandy Flip
- Dale DeGroff's Whiskey Smash
- Batavia-Arrack Cooler
- PDT's Maple-Bacon Old Fashioned
Also, making PDT's Don Lee's bacon-infused bourbon. It is in the freezer at the moment. I am eager to taste it tomorrow in a Bacon-Maple Old Fashioned.
My first Whiskey Smash was at Pegu, made by Kenta Ota. I hate to admit... I enjoyed my more. Forget that it was about $11 cheaper, ha!, and that I made it myself, which of course helps. But, I think it was more balanced. Less sweet. Pegu's did look better, and have nicer minty-ness.
Followed by a tasting of Clement Creole Shrubb, thanks to a 50 mL bottle found at a local liquor store. I am not a fan of orange flavored anything, but, found it pleasing. A nice alternative to other orange flavored liquers.
Clement's VSOP, no surprise, did not hold up to La Favorite Vieux, nor Rhum J.M.
