Moscow Mules tonight

A well stocked bar, and the request tonight is Moscow Mules. Why have I put off buying this copper mugs?!

Satan's Whiskers

Haven't had this one in a while. So good. Perfect blend of liquids with a touch of tart, just a touch. Reminded lately why I like gin so much, it adds so much character to a drink. 

Today was a day I just couldn't get the chill out of my bones and this is just what the doctor ordered. For some reason the recipes call for 1/2 ounces which would make a tiny tipple. I added a quarter ounce of each ingredient. Still not enough to fill my coupe. Next time I'll do full ounces. 

Also I used Grand Marnier not orange curaçao although I have a delicious orange liqueur by New Holland Artisan Spirits called Clockwerk Orange. Mmmmm. 

Below is pic of two recipes I have. One is from The Bartender's Deck and the other from a book Tom gave me for Xmas-The Essential Bar Book. The other is my drink, you can see the size - after only one sip. See why I need to increase ounceage!? And behind is Tom's emptied drink. Still love our Christofle barware all these years later.
