An interesting cross between gin and juice and a particularly wet martini, recipe courtesy of Fred Powell's "The Bartender's Standard Manual" (1979 Bonanza Edition)

An equal-parts 3-ingredient cocktail featuring Forbidden Fruit, a pomelo and honey brandy-based liqueur that was discontinued in the 1970s. I attempted to recreate it with 3 parts Deep Eddy's Ruby Red Vodka, 2 parts Drambuie, and 1 part Cointreau. That approximation ended up being rather delicious, and it mixed well with brandy and Cointreau for a very smooth sipper for a Saturday evening

A large-format gin and brandy split-base sour that was sweetened with Cointreau. Another interesting product of the 1970s courtesy of Fred Powell and his 1979 edition of "The Bartender's Standard Manual".

Since yesterday's Lone Pine was a hit, today's Lord Suffolk will be even better!

Please excuse the Dead Guy Ale can that I used for this drink, this large-format behemoth needed fitting glassware, and I will surely feel like a Dead Guy after finishing this.

Another hard to categorize gin cocktail courtesy of Fred Powell and his 1979 edition of "The Bartender's Standard Manual".

I don't know how to categorize this one; but it is equal parts gin, and dry and sweet vermouth, with a few dashes of orange bitters; garnished with a brandied cherry. Not quite a Perfect Martini, nor is it quite a Gin Manhattan, this was smooth and sweet, and it went down rather easily. It was a great Tuesday night sipper! Another recipe courtesy of Fred Powell and his 1979 edition of "The Bartender's Standard Manual", I give you the Lone Tree!

I am finally celebrating my honeymoon after being married for nearly 5 years, and we are spending the week on Oahu! We went to an ABC Store and I bought some Ube Cream Liqueur and Kōloa Kaua'i Gold Rum to bring back with me. Does anyone have any good ideas how I can use these ingredients when I get back to the mainland?

A double Old Fashioned made with blended Scotch and Scottish bitters

A unique 3-ingredient cocktail featuring equal parts creme de cacao, heavy cream, and lime juice; another forgotten classic. Recipe taken from Fred Powell's 1979 edition of "The Bartender's Standard Manual"
