Snagged a few essentials on the way back from Don's today.

That rye is great stuff, PalmTreePat. Do you ever combine it with rum in a variation on an Old Fashioned? I think it goes great with various runs, but Demerara and golden agricoles particularly.

It is really great with Demerara. My favorite combo for an OF when I'm feeling fancy is a 3:1 blend of the rye to Hamilton/Lemon Hart 151, which also happens to be the basis of the Poipu Beach Boogie Board, a drink you should definitely try ASAP if you haven't already.

1 1/2 oz rye whiskey
1/2 oz Demerara 151
1/4 oz maraschino
1 oz pineapple juice
1 oz lemon
1/2 oz guava juice
3/4 oz grenadine
1 dash Angostura bitters

Blend 3 seconds w/ crushed ice.

Hey thanks man! Malaho. I'll definitely give that a try. I always have to sub OFTD for the LH 151 (we can't get it in the UK) but I reckon it would sit great with the Rittenhouse.

I have a variation on an OF which is : 2 oz rye, 1.25 JM Gold rhum, 1/2 oz Bonal (skip this if you want but I think it adds a little class) or other fairly dry aparetif like cynar etc; Scant dash each of chocolate and lemon bitters; Barspoon of simple syrup; Small lime peel slice for garnish, squeeze the juice in to taste. I find that sits almost exactly at the crossroads between an OF and a restrained 'ti punch.

Is that boogie board recipe from a book, or a bar?
