Liquor
Road Hog:
I remain a beer guy. Liquor gets me into too much trouble.

It also provides good balance in my more-gin-forward Negroni variations. But there were a couple of cocktails in which I thought the juniper got lost in the mix. I think what this means is that, when it comes to gin, I'm not quite the citrus lover I thought. What I really desire more than anything is strong juniper. And apparently other herbal botanicals as well, which kind of surprises me to learn about myself.
This time around, I went for Bombay Dry Gin—a very traditional London dry gin. It has a similar flavor profile to Beefeater 24, which I loved, and it's easy on the pocketbook.

I'm just not a London dry guy. I need more aromatic botanicals. All I get is juniper in that style. To each their own of course. I forget if we've talked about this. Have you tried an Old Tom gin?

I have gone through like phases over the years. For a while I drank gin martinis, then vodka cranberries, then it was scotch. For about the last eight years I’ve mostly just drank wine, or margaritas when I have a cocktail.
Now, however, I’m head bartender at work and so when creating new drink recipes, I have had to experiment and try different things.
I definitely like gin and tequila most. And also mezcal. But I like making cocktails with more than one ingredient, like gin and elderflower liqueur and hibiscus tea or tequila, elderflower, lemon and honey.
I never used to really like cognac but I’ve put together a few specials that are actually quite good.
Like my Remy Martin 1738 Old fashioned with honey syrup, grand marnier and a splash of luxardo cherry juice.
Or the seasonal cide car with apple cider and Cointreau
