]]> Comment on Classic Cocktails You’re Not Drinking, But Probably Should by Nick Rolfe http://drinkingmadeeasy.com/the-daily-drink/spirits/classic-cocktails-youre-not-drinking-but-probably-should-2/#comment-4437 Nick Rolfe Sat, 12 May 2012 21:26:20 +0000 http://drinkingmadeeasy.com/?p=484#comment-4437 Apologies, but that Old Fashioned recipe is the reason people stopped liking the cocktail in the 1st place! John Clay, formerly of Plymouth Gin & now at Bols, taught me this version, MUCH closer to a version that celebrates instead of destroying the bourbon; 3 shots good bourbon (I prefer Makers: 90 proof gives a perfect balance of sweetness & burn) Angostura, peychaud OR orange bitters (test each & LEARN your preference the fun way :)) 1 large bar spoon of cane sugar OR a sugar lump An orange Pour the sugar into an old fashioned glass. Soak with 5 shakes of your favoured bitters. Drench with 1 shot of bourbon & add a small ice cube. Stir with the end of a bar spoon until the ice cube is virtually melted away, then add another small cube & another shot. Repeat, then do it again one last time. Add a few ice cubes to the finished glass then zest the orange over the drink & cut off a piece of peel to add to the drink. Maybe wipe the peel on the rim for added flavour. DO NOT ADD A CHERRY. Oh, and a sazerac is even better when tried with 50% sazerac rye, 50% cognac & zest a lemon over that bad boy. Beeyootiful!

The Agent. 1/3 oz Grenadine 1/3 oz Sambuca 1/2 oz Chartreuse *Place a 1 oz shot glass onto a small plate *Add the Grenadine and Samuba into the shot glass *Take a secocnd shot glass and add the Chartreuse then light *pour the Chartreuse into the first glass (making a fire water fall that over flows onto the plate) Grab a cinnamon shaker and dump a bunch onto the flame (from about 1-1.5 feet above this give a wicked mushroom cloud of fire) put the flames out with a pint glass And drink every drop of booze through a straw.
