Topic: What cocktail are you drinking?
I've only just recently got into cocktails after listening to the Being James Bond podcasts. Not being a big drinker, especially of spirits, it took me some time and getting used to, especially trying to neck the Vesper, but 18 months on I'm up for trying anything and doing it without convulsing or gagging after taking a sip. I like nothing beter than going into a hotel or bar and checking out their cocktail list and watching the barrister concoct my chosen poison. Last night, I discovered the Baron Samedi.
59 ml White Rum
44 ml Southern Comfort
2 dash(es) Peychaud Bitters
59 ml Sugar Syrup
Soda Water
½ Lemon
Shake all ingredients except soda water with ice. Strain and pour into a large old-fashioned glass half filled with crushed ice Fill with soda water. Garnish with a lemon slice.
Try it, you'll love it.
