Kremlin, do you masturbate to the alcohol ads in men's magazines?

Mr. Blonde · 09-27-2010, 10:48 AM

In related news, next fall, if all goes to plan, I very much want to spend as much time as I can afford in Amsterdam getting fucked out of my mind. Would anybody be interested in rendezvousing?

Where to get Cel-Ray

This is the only site I found that sells it and ships internationally. I don't see how to enter a non-US address into their checkout, but they have a phone number in their "help".

Uhhhhhh

YES

thekremlin · 09-30-2010, 06:27 AM

We have recieved another shipment!!!!!!
2 bottles of the Zubrowka bottle, which was polished off very quickly last time.
A bottle of japanese whiskey. Didn't taste it, since I am, you know, at work, but it has a very complex smell and I suspect it will be harsh like something southern kentucky. A bottle of Pyrat rum, since one of my roommates keeps drinking rum bottles faster than we can buy them (its a problem, admittedly.) And two bottles of bitters: Peychauds, which is somewhat similar to Angostura but with a little more spice, it is a new orleans brand and not generally available in the UK. Purchased for exactly one drink, the Sazerac. Also a bottle of Mole bitters. I had a drink with this bitters at a bar in Chicago whose name I can't recall and it blew my mind. So I am respectful of the potential here. The Japanese Whiskey will be very challenging to mix in a cocktail, and I think I am going to pair it with the Mole bitters. 'Cause I'm crazy like that. Having people over tomorrow night for drinks + flipcup, will post a few results monday.

You have bitters, but do you have the rest of the ingredients for a Manhattan? I will also require Manhattans, in addition to cider, if I am to return to London.

Probably.

But regardless, an Old Fashioned (or especially the house cocktail - the Sazerac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) is better than the Manhattan.

You shut your whore mouth.

thekremlin · 10-04-2010, 08:58 AM

Had people over the other night, mostly to play flipcup, a game which a) is superior in many ways to beer pong and b) english people have never played. But also took the opportunity to make some cocktails.

The Gin Bush
In a shaker filled with ice, mix 1 shot gin (I used Sipsmith, a self-proclaimed London gin), 1/2 shot of Green Chartreuse, 1/2 shot of ginger liquoer, juice of 1 lime. Shake vigorously 50 times. Pour without straining, to let some broken ice cubes join the party. Garnish with slice of lime.

(This drink came out pretty well, I usually use gin for martinis and martinis only so I was glad to make a more refreshing, lighter drink with it. Good to serve to female company.)

The Multicontinental Sazerac
Fill one highball glass with ice water. In another glass, place a cube of unrefined sugar. Soak the sugar with 4-5 drops of Mole Bitters (Bitters | The Bitter Truth). Muddle the sugar and bitters. Pour 1 1/2 ounces of Japanese Whiskey (see picture a few posts back.) In the other glass, pour the iced water out and pour in a dash of absinthe. Toss the glass in the air with a twisting motion, try to catch it. Should coat the glass. Strain the whiskey mix into the absinthe-coated glass. Finally, cut a peel of orange, hold it over the drink, light it and squeeze (should flame up a little, this is the oil in the orange skin you're squeezing out.)

This drink had a component from europe (the absinthe was from Prague), from asia (Japanese Whiskey), from South America (Mole bitters), and from North America (not really, but if they had been florida oranges.) Hence the mulitcontinental name.

It had a great flavor but very very different from a straight sazerac, which uses rye and peychauds bitters. The alcohol was much more evident, you could taste it before you even sipped it, had some of the qualities of a brandy. I'm pretty sure 3 of these would end your night.

thekremlin · 06-24-2011, 04:35 AM

Another shipment has arrived, just in time to get drunk in the new pad.
The crown jewel of this set is "Pappy Van Winkle 20 yr old Bourbon". Very excited to try this one.

Next is a mezcal from Oaxaca

A bottle of cognac (for cocktails)

And dark rum (for summer cocktails)

f3lix · 06-24-2011, 09:26 AM

Pappy 20! I bought my first Pappy 15 about a month ago and love it. Have you dabbled in the 23? It was named best spirit of 2010.

thekremlin · 06-24-2011, 09:39 AM

This will be the popping of my pappy cherry. I plan on enjoying a glass of this on the deck outside the office at 4:30 sharp.

Beebs · 06-24-2011, 11:01 AM

Cognac for cocktails? I would think the cognac should stand on it's own.

f3lix · 06-24-2011, 11:06 AM

Pappy is bourbon. The best bourbon. I actually have been to their distillery (Buffalo Trace) twice in the last month. They also produce Rain vodka, which is my favorite vodka to drink straight (and at a hellova good price.)

Yes cognac for cocktails. Doesn't take much. Some cognac, a little bit of decent fruit juice, some fruit. See earlier posts.

thekremlin · 08-16-2011, 05:07 AM

Savory gin: basil, rosemary, coriander, all stemmed. Going to infuse it for probably 4-5 days, but I made a martini out of it last night and it was already pretty good.

thekremlin · 08-16-2011, 05:09 AM

Also, admins, could we retitle this thread "thekremlin's and yoshi's home bar thread"?

Orgazmo · 08-16-2011, 10:46 AM

Done.

I would save the renaming for a thread that people have read in the last 2 months from now on.

angry pancake · 08-16-2011, 02:07 PM

Fuck Yoshi. Whatever that is. I just wanted to get that out of the way.

Kremlin's Gin Fizz
2 shots gin
2 shots coconut water (I used vida coco)

Half lime
Shake like a mother.

Ugly Bastard · 01-07-2012, 07:34 PM

I would definitely try that drink. Sounds incredibly interesting.
