Hey
Prester John
, have you tried a negroni yet? If not, I'll enjoy this one on your behalf until you can rectify that.
Have a good weekend, folks!

Haven't tried one yet, Greg. I have to buy some Campari. And more gin. (There is some Tanqueray here, but my wife and I each have our own liquor bottles. If we share, she doesn't get much! Besides, I'm partial to Beefeater.) Maybe I'll have something with scotch tonight. I usually have scotch neat or on the rocks (most single malts always neat, blends sometimes with ice).Hey Prester John , have you tried a negroni yet?

The Opinel No. 8 and my amber bone Case trapper are my most carried and used knives, Greg. I've acquired, thorough purchase, gift, or GAW prize, close to 40 knives in the last couple of years. The Opinel will only set you back about $15. You should definitely give one a try.Prester John , it’s good to see you experimenting in the pursuit of advancing B&B science!
You’ve just about got me convinced that I should give a Martini another go. Last time I tried, years ago, it wasn’t my thing. But, I’m a fan of gin, so maybe a drop or two of dry vermouth wouldn’t be so bad. Or maybe I should start with a perfect Martini?
And, speaking of convincing, that Opinel No. 8 you keep showing has me about convinced that I should pick one up. You’re quite the influencer, you know that, Vince?
Sounds good, Taylor, but I ain't drinking cheap tequila. I suggest you try Herradura Silver. Wonderful stuff. You'll never drink José Cuervo again!Ranch water- cheap tequila, Topo Chico and lime

As for the martini, I've never had a "perfect" one (half dry, half sweet vermouth), but may try one some day. If you like gin (my faves are Beefeater, Tanqueray, and Bombay Sapphire, in that order), you could try coating the ice with dry vermouth (my preference is Noilly Prat, but Martini and Rossi will do), and tossing out the excess, add the gin, and shake or stir with the ice in the shaker or glass. The stirring probably diltutes the drink less. Pour into a chilled cocktail glass, and garnish with an olive or three, or a twist of lemon. Both are good. What do you have to lose?

They make great ciders. Their lemonade is my favorite and one that I have to be carful with in the summer.
