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. |

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 ...
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. |

H10, hope you two could make it to work the next day.... My first Painkiller. It was worth going to three different places to find Coco Lopez. I can’t stand shredded coconut, but this I really like. |

Made a couple of Last Word Cocktails and inadvertently used lemons instead of limes. Very tangy but still very tasty. Is there a name for this drink? |

I searched around to see if I could find a name for it when just the lemon is substituted. 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. |

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 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! |

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 don't know. Sweet vermouth is sweet, Dry vermouth is dry. I'd say try making a Perfect Manhattan (1/2 sweet and 1/2 dry). |
