My negroni explorations seem to involve substituting out the Campari, oddly enough. Gran Classico offers lots of interest, but as much as I wanted Cynar to work, it hasn't grabbed me. But the right amaro? (most recently Fernet Angelico) Oh my my, oh hell yes, got to put on that party dress . . .David M. Bueker wrote:Campari is coming soon. Last night was Old Fashioned-fest.

I made Old Fashioneds, my first ever to make or drink. (At the end of this month I'm hosting Supper Club, and the theme is 'pie'. I need to serve a cocktail, and in reading your post it struck me that an Old Fashioned is probably the perfect drink for the theme. Any thoughts?) I read a few recipes and saw that rye is used fairly often, though bourbon is the classic base. I have both and am turning into an absolute rye fanatic, so I decided to use the less-exciting-to-my-palate Bourbon in hopes of making something that would be more separate from my beloved Sazerac, and I could really picture the orange flavor with the bourbon. My drink wasn't entirely correct in that I didn't have a maraschino cherry to add (bought some today, though, so won't say that again!), and I overmuddled the orange slices and made a cloudy drink, but we enjoyed the flavors quite a bit.

Just picked up a couple of books as well. The Joy of Mixology is...well...a joy so far.
This could get ugly.
Not a fan of fruit in my Old Fashioned though.
