Looks refreshing! Fresh grapefruit or grapefruit soda?
I known it is not by the book, but I like to drop a bit of grenadine in the bottom of the glass for a bit of color.

I keep hearing good things about Mr. Black. I have not tried it. Are you a fan?

I only jumped on the Mr Black bandwagon a year ago, and its now my go to coffee liquer.
Prior to that I was having difficulties with my recipe trying to counterbalance the weird flavours i was getting from Tia Maria and Kahlua.
Mr Black is
a) stronger alc%
b) doesn't taste chemical
In the 70s and 80s here in Australia at least , Tia Maria and Kahlua were huge and now sadly they're both not the same as I remember them.

Stay CONUS, brother.
Fresh grapefruit, very easy to get in phoenix during this time of the year. Grenadine is a good idea, I used simple syrup.
Mr. Black is an Australian brand, no? I will have to look for it around here. I know they sell it in the U.S.
For a few more months. I'm counting on shipping costs to Europe to curb my chip buying!

Tonight I'm enjoying this wonderful creation. Similar to a Boulevardier but with Dry Vermouth in place of the Sweet and more Rye forward. I give you:
I prebatch these so I don't have bottle pics (out of dry vermouth
) but here's the drink:
My Old Pal
2oz Rye
0.75oz Campari
0.75oz Dry Vermouth (I prefer Noilly Prat here)

Is Old Tom the historically correct gin here!? I don't think I've ever resurrected any dead with that before.....
You are right on both accounts. This is a Corpse Reviver #2 and it should probably be made with London Dry. But this is the gin I had on hand.

Great cocktail! I'm curious if I should try it with Old Tom next. What'd you think?
I did not like this version as much as I have in the past and I think it was the gin. I know I personally like it with Cocchi Americano over other vermouths. I might have used Fernand Dry Curacao in the past, but I don't think Cointreau was the issue. It was probably the gin.
Ransom gin is not bad (makes a fantastic Martinez). I just think it did not work well in this cocktail.
Give it a try with whatever Old Tom you have (Hayward's?) and tell me what you think! Maybe this weekend I'll pick up Plymouth and try the two gins side by side in this cocktail.

Try the cask strength Alberta Premium. Excellent in cocktails.
Good lord it is 64%!! Bulleit is 45%, and this is only 40 so definitely needs something stronger...
Ron old fashioned with Ron Santiago de Cuba 8 year.
