Today's Cocktail

[Texican]

The creme de cassis adventures continue. @Boudie you were right. This does taste just like a PB&J sandwich. Not something I'd regularly imbibe, but a tasty experiment.

Have you guys ever heard of a German Chocolate Cake? Not the actual cake but the drink? Tastes exactly like the cake if made right.

 

[Boudie]

@highsierrasmokin' I found two recipies one of them is alternatively called a chocolate martini only thing this recipe is missing from the cake recipe is a bit of self-rising flour, looks more like a chocolate mousse then a drink . The other forgoes all the chocolate and stresses Frangelica and lemon it's orange in color. Which drink are you speaking about?

@icehog3 It's wrong to judge a team on their 1st game under a new coach and system but I'm really dissapointed in how ill prepared the offensive line was and how pourly we covered the short passing game.

I was rooting for LSU for sure @Boudie, hopefully they improve under the new coach as the season progresses.

Well, except on October 15th that is.

We're going to need some help this year. Not only is it a change in leadership it's also a change in attitude. Coach O didn't give a rat's butt about what the players did, Kelly seems to be a different kind of guy with a different culture so there will be a lot of tension and reluctance to change in the locker room. If Kelly keeps recruiting the way he is and if he can keep them he's going to have the talent. We may be so bad by the time we play Florida you guys just may have a chance to win one!

Palmetto

1 1/2 oz aged Rum
1 1/2 oz sweet Vermouth
Couple of dashes of Angostura bitters

stir with ice strain to chilled glass

The vermouth overpowers the rum. Not a fan at first sip but I developed a taste for it and made a second

 

[Boudie]

much better with half the vermouth

 

[Boudie]

Basin Street

2 oz Bourbon
1 oz Triple Sec
1 oz lemon juice

I think using 3/4 oz lemon juice is better

 

[Boudie]

Cabo Wabo

1 1/2 oz Reposado Tequila
3/4 oz Grand Marnier
1 1/2 oz sweet and sour
3 oz Cranberry Juice
splash lime juice or simple syrup to taste

shake w ice pour to ice

Delicious
