This is my first post in this sub-forum. As I write, I am enjoying a mellow refreshing cocktail handed down from my deceased stepfather. He never stated the name of the drink. However, the "Google Gods" call it a "Hanky Panky." It consists of Fernet - a minty, bitter, herbaceous, Italian 30% liqueur (Branca Menta) - mixed with a 16% sweet Vermouth (Punt E Mes). The old guy taught us to add a splash of Club Soda and ice.
I don't know much about mixed drinks. But this is one of the most refreshing cocktails I've enjoyed.
Bought a bottle of Balcones 100 Proof Rye today. It's not the worst thing I've ever drank (that would be Malört), but it's not good, either. It's not spiced like a typical rye. It's really heavy on the chocolate notes. Mixed it with another Waco product, Dr. Pepper, to try to take some of the awful edge off. Should've just bought another bottle of Wheel Horse. It's a decent, inexpensive rye.
Was finally able to finish off this hot mess. Went out and got a fifth of Tincup Rye. I hate that they brand it as "Mountain Whiskey" when it's distilled in flattastic Indiana, but it's a good rye. Sips a lot better than the Balcones crap.
This wine has always been one of my favorites since I started drinking Pinot over twenty years ago. This is a solid Pinot, love the hints of cherry along with the earthy flavors. 2009 is a good year for this wine.
