He's into the details -- like the best bitters, vermouths, and everything else most people take for granted.

How was the JW Green? Dave's a fan of the black but hasn't tried green yet.
- FFing Enigma
Oh green is great. In order it's Red, Black, Gold, Green, Blue. I love Gold & Green. Blue is the best, but over-priced. I just don't want to spend $200 - $250 for a bottle of Scotch

My dad used to love Glenmorangie. Also the liquer Glayva.
- Ordinarybug Heather
Glenmorangie is extremely difficult to find in the U.S. these days

When I first learned to bartend, I was told that sugar is the same thing as simple syrup, which it obviously is not. Do you find you get the sweetness you want in your drinks? I always use sugar when anything needs to be muddled... but I'm starting to wonder if simple syrup is the key to taking a drink to another level.

<whispers> doesn't like bloody mary's </whispers> ----->

Derrick, I've always stated that Bloody Marry's are just steak marinade on ice.

I love bourbon, and I think the Intoxicologist makes a strong case that the flavors should work well together.
- Ben Hanten
theoretically it does seem like that *could* work ... but I really like the flavors in a bloody mary, so I'll stick with vodka because it doesn't have much of it's own flavor.

me too, Eric. Worcesteshire, horseradish, tabasco, black pepper ... sometimes I throw in a little juice from the jar of something vinegary, like pepperoncinis.

If you want to step up the spice in your bloody, try using Absolut Peppar.

You say Bloody Mary and I think Igor's in Nawlins for the WIN! :-)
