Our Innagural Meeting

We started our first meeting off with some "Original" drinks. Ratings follow recipes.

Martini: 2 oz. gin, 1 oz dry vermouth, bruise room temperature alcohol in a shaker with ice. Serve in a martini glass. Garnish with an olive.



Overall rating 3.5
Smiling Tiger:
Surprised how much she liked this. Would drink it again. 3
Agent Orange: Would actually pay for another one. 4
Terminator: Much better than she remembers. 3
Grasshopper: She admits that she’s already a big gin fan. 4
White Lady: Not as much like sucking on a juniper bush as I thought it would be. 3.5

Old Fashioned: 1 tsp simple syrup, 3 dashes bitters, 1 jigger Blended scotch whiskey, ice. Stir in old fashioned/rocks glass and garnish with maraschino cherry and orange wedge.

Traditionally, you’re supposed to muddle sugar and bitters together with a splash of water. We skipped that and added simple syrup and bitters. It integrated better.



Overall rating 4.2
Smiling Tiger:
A little strong. 4
Agent Orange: Would give it a 10 if possible. 5
Terminator: Really good. 4
Grasshopper: Good 4
White Lady: Very smooth. 4

Whisky Highball: 1 jigger bourbon, ginger ale and ice. Stir in Highball/Collins glass. Garnish with lemon.

A highball is really any liquor with soda added. A Rum and Coke, 7 & 7, Jack and Coke are all highballs.



Overall rating 3.1
Smiling Tiger:
Needs something. 2.5
Agent Orange: Doesn’t taste much of anything besides Vernors. 2
Terminator: Could easily have a few of these. 4
Grasshopper: Could use more flavor. 3
White Lady: Could have a ton of these. 4
