B-52. Feh. Frosh Sorority drink. One step before cotton candy vodka.

Or is that just an excuse to get more creative with ongoing mixology?

When you get it, go and make a Manhattan. Use good whiskey, preferably rye or a rye-heavy bourbon, and the Punt e Mes. You're welcome.

And add a dollop of Maraschino to get a Red Hook - another excellent variant on the theme!
And I'm with you on the Creme Yvette, Walt. I have a bottle of Creme de Violette that will doubtless still be nearly full on the day I die. I just can't drink that many Aviations.

The ginger beer used is really what makes or breaks it. Reed's is good, though I think my personal favorite for this application is Cock and Bull. Haven't ever gotten it together to make my own.

Hey, glad someone had heard of it and even likes it!
I was at Safeway to get the ginger beer, so I pretty much had my choice of any ginger beer that was either Reed's or Reed's Extra. I haven't tried Cock and Bull, but I'd be curious to try a very dry version like Maine Root.
So, Mike, do your Gin-Gin Mules tend to come in more rocks glass size, or something big like a Collins?

One word: Aquavit!
Like you, I enjoy rye despite the lack of caraway and especially love a good Sazerac.
