tonight, returning after long hiatus due to injuries and illness, is an Irish Old Fashioned with Dead Rabbit Irish Whiskey, a low amount of demerara (about a third of what you'd typically use), and a heavy hand of bittercube orange bitter.

Tonight's is a vodka tonic.

This is made with Rye vodka, fever tree tonic, and Scrappy's black lemon bitters. Even ratio of vodka and tonic.

I love this rye vodka for a variety of reasons and always keep a bottle in stock, and voka tonic has a lovely way of highlighting the citrus bitters, letting you really take them in.

tonight (no picture) was a lillet, beefeater, seville orange bitters, and fever tree tonic.

Having opened a bottle of lillet, I will now be using a lot of it.

Beefeater is not my favorite gin by a longshot, but sometimes you just want something basic and traditional.

tonight, after dealing with the taking down 45' of electric fence, is a Lillet, Gin, and Tonic. Fever tree tonic, woody creek summer gin, lillet blanc, seville orange bitters, and just a splash of lemon juice to help bring out the color of the Woody Creek.

tonight, at the end of a long week, is a mezcal negroni.

Campari, Noilly prat sweet vermouth, and Del Maguey Chichicapa mezcal, scrappy's lime bitters. Shaken and poured over fresh ice.

The first time I had mezcal substituting for gin in a negroni it was a revelation: just a stunning combination of elements. I generally prefer the Del Maguey's vida mezcal for this purpose, but the lighter, almost building smoke taste of the Chichicapa felt appropriate today.

Tonight on a variation on a perfect martini!

This one is made with Woody Creek Summer Gin. Noilly Prat sweet vermouth and dry vermouth, Bittercube orange bitters, and I rinsed the glass with Leopold's Maraschino Liqueur.

The balance isn't quite where I want it, but I don't think it will be hard to get it there. Maybe with a touch of citrus or using Leopold's Summer Gin instead of Woody Creek.

feature tonight: Captain's Daiquiri, made with Santa Teresa Rum, lime, demarrara, orgeat, and blackstrap bitters.

I've been playing with variations on the theme using different ratios of orgeat versus other sugars to get the balance where I want it.

tonight features an experiment. An aviation made with Bols genever, Rothman & Winter's creme de violette, lemon juice, Leopold Brothers Maraschino Liqueur, and Bolivar bitters. I included about a half bar spoon of maraschino cherry syrup to balance it.

tonight is another daiquiri, made with Rhum Barbancourt, lime juice, demerara, and blackstrap bitters.

I'm not sure what it says that I took a rum famous for using pure cane sugar juice and not molasses and basically added back in molasses elements, but here we are.
