Wow, I am narcing on you to St. George.1-1-1
Barr Hill, with its honey notes, works really well here as a complement to the bold bittersweet.
I did not like this grapefruit tonic with the gin I had in the house that is already fruity. It does, however, taste awesome with mezcal.
Added a bottle of St. Germaine to my burgeoning bar and broke it in with an Irish Maid.
Sorry for old post bump, but I’ve done some of this myself and found that the amount of gin I prefer very strongly correlates with the vermouth I’m using. Like if I’m using Martini & Rossi I need to be pretty heavy-handed and go towards 2 parts gin (maybe a few splashes more) to smooth out the sugar, but if I go with e.g. Lo-Fi I can back off the gin a bit (though I still prefer something closer to 1.5 than 1).This afternoon was for negroni ratio testing. Each glass had 1oz each of Campari and sweet vermouth and then 1, 1.5, and 2oz of gin respectively. 1.5 was probably my favorite, but I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed.
Thought about going to the cocktail spot down the street but decided to pick up a couple bottles and stay home.
Jungle Bird.
Used ginger simple and hey, what's this? St. George Bruto Americano!
Kingston Negroni but w the Hamilton instead of the usual called-for Smith & Cross (which has never been my fave). It's fine but whoooo does that pot still funk come through! It's kinda chocolatey. Not mad at it. Will experiment at a later date.
Probably going back to the Jungle Bird after this because I need to use this pineapple.
Don't be surprised if you see some pineapple margs in the future.

I find myself coming back to negronis with Lillet moreso than the classic. Just a little bit more easy drinking.

But I don't have allergies.

I love a Jungle Bird. It's the type of tiki that I have always wanted. I have never been into the super sweet things. Bitter is better!Thought about going to the cocktail spot down the street but decided to pick up a couple bottles and stay home.

holy smokes, it makes sense now. I have a list of recipes on our inside cabinet that we can make at any time. It's not specific as to the type of amaro.
Oh man, but you have Campari (or other more bitter thing), right?!
We have campari, Montenegro and Nonino.
