Cocktail Of The Week (The Kentucky Longshot)

Posted on September 5, 2010 by mheusler

This is a great cocktail that was created by the late Max Allen Jr. Allen worked at the famous Seelbach Hilton Hotel (there’s a Seelbach cocktail as well that I’ll cover in a future post) and came up with this drink in 1998 for the Breeder’s cup. The drink is supposed to be garnished with [...]

Spirit Review (Broker’s GIn)

Posted on August 30, 2010 by mheusler

Broker’s gin is a dry London style gin made in a 200-year-old distillery right outside of London. It’s triple filtered during the maceration process and then is filtered in a final and fourth time in a pot still. It smells of juniper and witch hazel with a back-end of light citrus like grapefruit and lemon. [...]

Cocktail Of The Week (The Blue Moon)

Posted on August 30, 2010 by mheusler

I decided to make this drink to try out the creme yvette that I was thrilled to pick up a few months back at Astor Wine and Spirits. One of my greatest pleasures in life is getting my hands on revivals of defunct cocktail items that were in wide use, prior to prohibition. I was [...]

Cocktail Of The Week (The Paloma)

Posted on August 22, 2010 by mheusler

This is an excellent hot weather drink and one that I recommend you try before these last weeks of summer run out. It’s really simple to make and all that you’ll need is some blanco tequila, grapefruit soda and kosher salt. There isn’t a lot of good cheap Tequila out there. Sauza is probably as [...]

Cocktail Of The Week (French 75)

Posted on August 15, 2010 by mheusler

As I’ve stated in the past, while I’m not the biggest champagne drinker, there are a few champagne cocktails that I really like. The French 75 is one of those. It’s another drink with a rather interesting story behind the name. It was supposedly concocted by the Franco-American World War I flying ace, Raoul Lufbery, [...]

Cocktail Of The Week (Long Island Iced Tea)

Posted on August 9, 2010 by mheusler

T This is a drink that many people usually have negative feelings towards because they vomited after downing six of them made with speed rack quality liquor during their freshman year of college. The same thing happened to me, except it was during my sophomore year of high school. I was absolutely twisted at the [...]

SImply The Best #41 (Rum)

Posted on August 7, 2010 by mheusler

# 5 – Flor De Cana Extra Dry (Nicaragua) – I’ve seen all kinds of mixed reviews of Flor De Cana’s youngest rum, the 4 year aged “extra dry” bottling. It’s not a rum full of depth and flavor but that’s not really what I’m looking for when I’m using a light rum to make [...]
