Re: Announcement:Manhattan Day
Manhattan day? What a hassle. I'll have to inhale smoke from a tailpipe, buy a $12 pack of cigarettes, fail to understond a food cart vendor, and get called a "motherfucker" or "asshole" in a NY accent from some local yokel for doing something considered friendly elsewhere in the country. A flask would sure smooth things out tho...

Re: Okay, let's talk about Manhattans
This old thread inspired. Old Overholt BIB rye and Tribuno sweet vermouth with Peychauds bitters. Next will be with the regular Angostra and the following with the orange.

Re: Okay, let's talk about Manhattans
Indeed.
If only the OP was still around, from years ago. A wealth of hidden knowledge.
Oh well...
Time marches onward and we begin to remember the things that we've lost due to drin-
Hey! That's a tasty looking Overholt Manhatten you got there Hirsute One. (Snapping a pic with the background image through a drinking glass has become your trademark over the years)
Yup.

Re: Okay, let's talk about Manhattans
Ok of the three bitters I tried the orang bitters from Angostura truly made that Manhattan sing like Frankie back in the day. New York, New York! Damn. Now to upgrade the vermouth when I get through this dreck.

Re: Okay, let's talk about Manhattans
Do all of you guys have those bartending implements and glasses like Patchez has in that pic?
All I have is a couple of squat drinking glasses and a wine glass engraved with a "B" (B is for Betty, my mom's name). She gave them to me many years ago.
But I don't mix drinks because it seems like too much work. A box of wine, a can of beer, or a bottle of whiskey is all I ever get.
The liquor store has different size and shape glasses for sale and I think about buying them, but since I don't mix drinks, I never do.

Re: Okay, let's talk about Manhattans
Hugh don't mistake my set up as fancy. I do have a lot of stuff but it's mostly yard sale and auction buys with some low end Wally World stuff I picked up. If I was more serious about mixing cocktails I'd upgrade. For the most part I'm a beer and neat or on the rocks guy. I just get a wild hair up my ass once in a while and go on a cocktail run for about a week or two. Then the fervor dies and I revert to my go tos.Hugh wrote: ↑Wed Jul 25, 2018 9:39 pmDo all of you guys have those bartending implements and glasses like Patchez has in that pic?

Re: Okay, let's talk about Manhattans
Old Overholt bonded rye in a Manhattan? That's about as perfect a base as you can get.
Much, much good on you Professor Patchez for your ongoing experiments toward the embigguning of the Drunkard Sciences. We could all use a little of what you have, and by that I mean your liquor.

Just remember Hugh: a good cocktail in a shitty glass is better that a shitty cocktail in a pretty glass.
