Never had Scotch in a Polynesian themed drink though-anxious to try one Laphroaig is very smoky, so next time I'll reduce it to 1/8 oz to see if that's a little more balanced. By the way, this calls for ginger syrup, not ginger beer, and I don't think subbing one for the other would work out.

HH Hurricane Hayward Grand Member (1 year) 16 miles from The Mai-Kai Joined: Jun 07, 2008 Posts: 1933	HH Hurricane Hayward Posted posted on 03/18/2018 I've been posting drinks to this thread since 2010, and have never included a (gasp!) beer .... until now. My dark secret is out. I enjoy a flavor-packed IPA, stout or porter. Especially if it's from Fort Lauderdale's own Funky Buddha Brewery and I can pair it with leftover prime rib from The Mai-Kai ... https://funkybuddhabrewery.com/our-beers/special-release/im-so-excited-im-so-scared I'll soon be seeking out Huki Idol, the new double IPA with passion fruit, lime juice, and mint. I've heard it's hitting stores in South Florida over the next week or so. https://funkybuddhabrewery.com/our-beers/goodness-series/huki-idol

No luck; however, I did come across a few other Last Word variations you might be interested in trying (if you don’t already know about them). https://cold-glass.com/2011/04/01/the-last-word-with-an-asterisk-variations-on-a-classic-cocktail/ The Final Ward swaps rye and lemon; the Asterisk swaps brandy and lemon; and the Dernier Mot swaps just rum (agricole or Demerara). I’m gonna test these soon. Thanks for helping me discover them.

Very tangy but still very tasty. Is there a name for this drink? Mahalo As to the specific question, I dunno. I have found, however, that I often (not always, but often) like a drink better with lime instead of lemon. I like lemon in iced tea, can barely stand lime instead. But when it comes to cocktails, I'm the opposite. I'll bet there's a word in German for habitually substituting lime for lemon...

I don't know, seems like it might not be cold enough. I think a "Dry" Manhattan would probably more properly be made with dry vermouth. And I'd think it would also probably be better made stirred with ice, allowing for chilling and only slight dilution, and maybe cutting back on the bitters. But of course, the best way to make it is always to make it so it tastes good to you!

But of course, the best way to make it is always to make it so it tastes good to you! I agree that Antica is sweeter than many red vermouths, however, I'm going for dry by upping the ratio of whiskey to vermouth to 6:1. Quite a few bars around here are going with 3:1 while using Antica. I continue to look for a drier formulation of a red vermouth.

I'd say try making a Perfect Manhattan (1/2 sweet and 1/2 dry).
