Re: Booze and Beer expedition has begun...
Well, yes. This is interesting, indeed. Several years ago I explored the "classic" ****tails. I drank Sidecars, Americainos, Sazeracs, Gin Rickeys, Tom and John Collinses and Gimlets. I'd like to do this also and try the Rusty Nail and the Manhattan. I'm in.

Re: Booze and Beer expedition has begun...
Alright, we'll have to do it at the Cru because they're more likely to use decent booze and have a reliable recipe. And we can do it at home too. I'm going to the Rusty Nail tonight.

Re: Booze and Beer expedition has begun...
I have a whole book of classic ****tails - with pictures and recipes.
And Whala - a new club is born.

Re: Booze and Beer expedition has begun...
I like this ****ing idea fellas. I've been in a ****tail rut lately too. I may start on this little trip. Hopefully this ****ing hotel I'm at has a decent bar.
Sazerac is the quintessential New Orleans ****tail, and it's ****ing phenomenal, if made right.

Re: Booze and Beer expedition has begun...
Leads, I first drank Sazeracs at Redfish Grill (is that right?) just off Bourbon Street. I don't know if it was made right but it was a good drink all right. A bit complicated to make, though.
I don't think a Hurricane would qualify as a ****tail, though, but then again . . .
This whole new club makes me very happy. Just think. I finally get to go, on a more or less regular basis, to a nice place with good booze, good food and somewhat knowledgable mixologists. A bit pricey but worth every penny.

Re: Booze and Beer expedition has begun...
Redfish Grill is a great place, right on Bourbon. It's a Brennan's Property (the most prolific restaurant family in the city) and they know how to make ****tails. Hurricane's will pot me on my ass and make me puke, probably from the load of ****ing sugar in them.
I'm going to start tonight and drink my way through the classic ****tail repertoire. A worthy ****ing club indeed.
Good karma for you sir!

Re: Booze and Beer expedition has begun...
That gin and tonic with bitters sounded so good I whent out and bought the **** to make it. I dont know why I ever stoped drinking that drink it is so good. I was a bit shocked at the price of bitters though.

, drink and either revisit or explore some classic drinks that are new to me. I think next on the list is the Rusty Nail. Then maybe the Tom Collins. Who knows from there but I feel like these "old timey" drinks need to be explored.
