Just now getting to this, but that's not a bad idea.Savage wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 2:59 amI just had a thought: perhaps a tiny splash of Grand Marnier(1/4 teaspoon, perhaps?) might help. When we do Manhattans, I always toss a bit of maraschino syrup in the bourbon. Yes, bourbon. Fekk rye. Just a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down! *Rye and Coke wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 10:04 pmI hope I don't irritate anyone by continuously upping this thread, but Wednesday nights are just my nights.

I wonder if the Grand Marnier would go better with an Orange bitters (which I have); and Bourbon or Rye, do your thing, I just can't deal with the corn taste. But fuck it, maybe I'm the weirdo. I do add a splash of maraschino syrup in my Manhattans too, I thought it was just me.
But I hate Jim Beam and been held by my ankles over the edge of a hotel balcony because of it, so maybe I'm biased.
