+1.

also nobody ever seems to know what this is when i attempt to order it outside of MA, but a woo woo is pretty tasty.

Maybe I will just carry pastis around with me in my pocket and be good to go forever

I laughed in a very peculiar way at this. I may not be okay.

Have not drowned, have not been drinking, unfortunately. I'd like to do both. What is the credited rye to order in your Manhattan?

Idk It depends how you like your drinks. If you’re going for rye in a manhattan, and you should, then look for a spicier one. This is what rye brings to the table. A lot of ryes like Sazerac have a very slight bourbon-y vanilla and cream flavor, which is fine if that’s what you prefer. I’ve had them with Rittenhouse (100 proof, textbook flavor) and the higher priced Van Winkle Reserve, and both were excellent. Try a few and learn what you like.

Bummer. Sazerac Rye is one of the better cocktail ryes. On a special occasion I'd do Whistlepig. Any drink with red vermouth is good in my book, though.

Edit: Bee, are you drinking flat champagne? That's...not okay.
Manhattans are the shit. My favorite bar makes a smoky manhattan that substitutes the rye with Laphroaig and it's quite beautiful. As someone who loves the Islay malts (although not a huge fan of Laphroaig by itself), it's definitely my favorite cocktail.

I've heard of this drink, but it seems sacrilegious. I don't think I could pay for that. I love smoky/peaty scotch like Laph.

Tea, dry vermouth is CR, too. I just really like red vermouth in negronis/manhattans.[/quote]

Ditto on playing with Laph, but i would be willing to try it. If someone knows what they're doing, it might be really good.

Unfortunately, I can't contribute much to the current discussion as I'm not much acquainted with drinks. A lot of my family are Portuguese farmers who make their own wine so when I'm there I'm usually drinking whatever it is they have bottled in their basement. When I'm in the U.S. it's usually whatever Portuguese wine is being sold at the supermarket.

Port wine is great with dessert though and I can assure you of that.

Almost not at all, actually.

What's everyone's strategy for grey day? I spent October refreshing the page like a mad man but I don't think that's what I want to do this time.

im still not clear on pw. if its boobs, no; cats, probably.

i will end up refreshing, i know it. im really hoping ill have a meeting or something and not be aware of it until it's over. although with the impending storm, its looking like might be home. have to come up with a plan.
