The distillery is with the brewery in Rehoboth Beach, DE. I finally got to try it when I visited friends in Maryland. Everything I tried was good. I only got a real small taste of the whiskey though.

Good cocktails are a great way to go. I disagree with the Dolin though. Lustau Vermouth is where it’s at. Their sweet vermouth is great in its own. Learn to make some classic cocktails, and the history behind them. Most prohibition era cocktails come out really good because they were made to hide some of the harshness of the spirits from the day, and they work even better with high quality stuff from today. The history of most of that era of drinks is pretty interesting, and is a cool topic of conversation. Makes you look smart too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heimdallr Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 For me there are only two drinks that matter. A bitters-based cocktail (Old Fashioned) and a lemon/lime-based cocktail (Daiquiri). The majority of other popular cocktails are just variations on those two. Old Fashioned = alcohol, bitters, simple syrup --- Manhattan, replace syrup with vermouth --- Sazerac, replace syrup with absinthe --- Negroni, replace syrup with campari Daiquiri = alcohol, lemon/lime juice, simple syrup --- Margarita, replace simple syrup with triple sec (also known as Sidecar) --- Mojito, add mint --- Cosmopolitan, add cranberry juice --- Sour, add egg white --- Fizz, add soda water Personally my two favorite cocktails are a gin Old Fashioned and a rye Sidecar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
