What are you drinking RIGHT NOW?

Today's the 90th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition:

I'm commemorating the occasion with a Sazerac.

 

Looking forward to the new year.

 

Tonight I’m drinking Corralejo Añejo Tequila

 

Where you drink is as important as what you drink.

 

Please tell me that's your den

 

Reposado Tequila, Mommenpop Vermouth, Bitter Bianco, Salt.

Delicious, but I didn't expect it to look like this and I didn't expect it to taste like this.

 

Mezcal, Suze, Cocchi Americano

 

Longshoreman: Rye, sweet vermouth, Averna

 

A beer that has not been avail in a long while, grabbed a 6'er today, now that it is in stock.

Great Divide- Orabelle

 

This, but with mezcal instead of gin. Delicious.

 

SO GOOD

 

Sazerac. A rye cocktail named after a cognac. I'm drinking it in a restaurant named after a child, in a town named for an animal. It's really good.

 

French 75

Made with Icelandic Gin:

 

Isn't Anejo normally a gold or amber color? That looks more like a Blanco.

 

A couple of nights ago, I celebrated my having scored several Mercury Living Presence CDs at a local library sale ($1 each!). The Respeghi Pines/Fountains sounded so excellent, I decided to break out this:

I picked it up at Dublin duty free coming back from Germany last November

 

Añejo can be crystal clear. Even an extra añejo can be as well. This one actually has a tad bit of color that isn’t really discernible in the pic. It is quite a good quality añejo (runs about $70 per 750ml and that is a great price for the quality) that is certified no additive so that may have something to do with the clearer color.

 

@futuresound Why’d you rate this miss information?

 

Learn something new every day, thanks. I'd always assumed the color was directly associated with aging, but a quick Google clues me in to the concept of cristalino, which is what I assume that is. I prefer Anejos but have never tried a clear one, I've probably passed them by at the store for that very reason assuming they were blancos. I'm still unclear on the purpose of adding flavor and then filtering it out, but I will look for this next trip to the liquor mart so I can taste for myself.

 

A Blood and Sand variant: Mezcal, Cherry Heering, vermouth, some other stuff, and absinthe.

It was good, but not as good as a real Blood and Sand.
