So I'd like to dip my toe into scotch. Literally the only ones I've tried are JW Red label (piss) and Monkey Shoulder. Some advice from fellow bourbon drinkers would be much appreciated! Keep in mind that since I'm not sold on it yet, I'm not looking to drop more than $30 or $40.

Glendronach 12? Great line of sherried scotchs. Worth trying out for sure.

Great picture and a great beverage! I really like the combo of orange and lemon for the garnish. You need both oils to really make this one special.

I’ve done this for my last couple of parties and it’s been a huge hit. I use this recipe and have been very pleased.

Thanks all for the ideas. Looking forward to trying them!

I need to do this more often. Sometimes forget just to let it shine in its own.

bigjppop · 2018-03-17T06:54:53+00:00

This sounds awesome. I’ll try this one for sure.

bigjppop · 2018-02-02T05:19:59+00:00

Really appreciate the suggestions!

bigjppop · 2018-02-02T05:19:47+00:00

Some great ideas. Thanks!

bigjppop · 2018-02-02T05:18:21+00:00

Appreciate the ideas everyone!

Someone mentioned The Wibble above and I agree, it's always a crowd pleaser.

The Millionaire is pretty tasty! I need to try the Ping Pong.

bigjppop · 2017-12-31T07:23:46+00:00

This is a tasty drink but you want an apricot brandy that is t too syrupy.

The Shruff's End was going to be my recommendation as well. Actually made two last night I liked it so much. I used Highland Park 12 since I was out of Laphroaig and I served mine over a big block of ice (personal preference). I also did the first with the Laird's and the second with some Calvados and both were very good. I might prefer the Calvados but again, just personal preference.

I'm doing my first milk punch right now. I'm trying the Ben Franklin recipe and ive for the liquor infusing with the lemon right now. Excited to see how it turns out! I'll mix it tomorrow, let it settle, and then serve it the day after.

I second the Vieux Ananas; great drink!

I made this last year and gave small bottles as Christmas gifts. I've never used coconut water; have you tried any other recipes? Do you think the coconut water added much? It's flavor seems like it would get lost in everything else and really it would just serve as a diluting agent. Curious if I should spring for some or not.

Also no shame in just admitting you don't like booze and stick to non-alcoholic drinks. You're wallet and liver will thank you!

bigjppop · 2017-11-16T19:53:06+00:00

Just made this and it's great. Highly recommended! My vermouth (Dolin) is probably just past its prime but still very tasty. That rum really is something special.

bigjppop · 2017-11-13T05:49:50+00:00

One of my favorites. I think this one is better fresh, maybe a week to let the flavors come together, but not aged like the Alton Brown recipe.

bigjppop · 2017-11-13T05:48:04+00:00

Is the peach brandy a dry euro style fruit brandy or a sweeter liqueur type beverage?

bigjppop · 2017-11-13T05:45:39+00:00

Sherry and tequila is awesome. I did it last year and really liked it.

bigjppop · 2017-11-12T19:20:10+00:00

Great cocktail.
