No. 11-Alaska Cocktail

It's been a while but hey if I had more readers (or more people using my amazon links) I'd post more often. Now on to to the cocktail....
North of the Great White North, the last wilderness......
This cocktail probably has nothing to with our 49th state but the Chartreuse may evoke the gold rush, I don't know.

Alaska Cocktail

2 dashes of Orange Bitters
1 1/2 oz of Gin (Bombay Sapphire)
3/4 oz of Yellow Chartreuse

Stir well with cracked ice and strain into a 3oz glass.

No photo today due to technical issues, but the taste is kind of medicinal.   Maybe I put in too much bitters or I'm not use to the taste of Chartreuse  but no Sir I don't like it.

World War Z

Looks like some production troubles plauge the filming of this movie.

Let this be a lesson to everyone,  hire people that are familiar with the laws when you deal with prop guns.  It was a stupid and probibly an expensive mistake.  Now for the woman almost crushed,  that is a serious issuse.

My first layerd drink.  I was sort of reluctant to try to make one but it turned out well.   It like to thank my mother-in-law for finding the correct sized glass.   Now if my friend Bob D would come through with the silver straw he promised.

Angel's Tip

3/4oz Creme de Cacao

1/2oz Sweet Cream

Float cream and instert toothpick in cherry and put on top.  Use Pousse Cafe glass.

A very nice presiontion drink thats really easy to make and very tasty too.   I wonder through if I used a better quality Creme de Cacao how it would improve the drink.

#14 Alexander Cocktail No. 2

or better known as a Brandy Alexander.

I read some where that they named this one after Czar Alexander II of Russia and first made at a famious wedding in 1922.

Alexander Cocktail No. 2

1oz Creme de Cacao

1oz Brandy

1oz Sweet Cream.

Shake well with ice and serve in a 4oz cocktail glass.

Very tasty.   Perfect for after dinner relaxation.

As funds are low I have to start jumping around a bit, or put up a wish list.  Right now I know I don't have the readership for the latter.

The Raven 2012

Ohhh...this looks interesting.

A serial killer whose murders mirror based on Poe's work.

Persued by Poe himself, the man who invented detective fiction.

And Poe is being played by John Cusack.
This goes on my must see list.
