Be careful using ChatGPT for historic cocktail recipes. It often gets them wrong. My most recent interchange researching Chicago Fizz is a good example. I drilled down, teaching it by providing documentation of its errors. Eventually it learned, & I found source of its bias.
Poured Chateau de Ribebon 2019 for steak dinner tonite. Bargain #Bordeaux Supérieur wine (<$7 @CostcoWine), balanced #merlot w/cab sauv & franc, rustic, medium body, drink now, let breath. #bargainwine #bordeauxwine #bargainbordeaux
What makes red vermouth red? Not its color, which is more auburn brown. Likely so-called because its Italian moniker rosso means red, but generally not made from red wine grape. Rather, white wine flavored w/botanicals & sweetened w/caramelized sugar, giving it its darker color.
Recipe translation: in a mixing glass, with 2-3 lumps of ice the size of a nut, measure: 55% gin, 10% lemon juice, 15% orgeat (almond) syrup, 20% triple sec. Frost rim. Strange, specifies amount of ice, but percentages of other ingredients. My interpretation: convert to ml.
Okay, so I made it! Very easy to drink, actually, reasonably balanced!
So, I decided to make it…
To truly appreciate what vermouth can bring to a #martini, you should really try drinking #vermouth. Definitely best w/ ice. Compare different brands & styles. Understand flavor & aroma. Imagine hints of that with your favorite gin, or even vodka. Then try in a dry martini.
It's been more than a year since the bartenders at @QSDistillery in Riverside shook up cocktails for a thirsty public. But the craft distillery's cocktail bar will be back in business on weekends beginning July 24. rblandmark.com/2021/07/13/riv…

For craft spirit enthusiasts who have gone more than a year without ordering up a specialty cocktail from J.T., the bartender at Quincy Street Distillery, 39 E. Quincy St. in Riverside, your wait is...
Met an older gentleman at the bar tonight. He gave me his card. After he gave me his card, he said, “it’s easier to hand this to the bartender than explain what I want.” I’m a little in love right now.
Millionaire Cocktail #1 prepared w/ @PlantationRums Xaymaca special dry, @PlymouthGinUS sloe gin, apricot brandy, lime juice, & grenadine. Easy to down sour that hides a lot of alcohol. Rarely made today in part because all its ingredients seldom found in bars.
This bourbon, while very young, makes a killer Manhattan, and the best Brown Derby!
#Whiskeylovers, have you tried 'Bourbon Spring'?⠀🥃⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ 'Bourbon Spring' by @QSDistillery won a gold medal at the 2020 @BartenderAwards and was placed at 78 in the Top 100 on-premise spirits list!⠀
Gibson made w/ @GlendaloughDist Gin & @NoillyPrat X Dry Vermouth, garnished w/ cocktail onions soaked overnight in @QSDistillery Prairie Fairie Absinthe Blanche. Hint of anise takes this #Martini to another level... #gibsoncocktail #drymartini #cocktailonion #mixology #absinthe
Inspired by @NASAPersevere Perseverance Rover's success today, created namesake cocktail, hybrid of Red Rover & Perseverance cocktails: 1oz ea of rye whiskey, 15yo aged rum, @campari, @cinzanoofficial vermouth, w/ 2 dashes @gazregan Regan's orange bitters, shaken w/ice, strained.
Drinking a Martinez: 1.5oz Rutte Genever, 1.5oz @cinzanoofficial vermouth, 2 dashes @AngosturaHouse bitters, 2 dashes Regan's orange bitters, tsp gomme syrup, shaken w/ice, strained into cocktail glass, garnished with @LUXARDOUSA cherry.
Honor of @presidentsday made McKinley's Delight: 2oz Templeton Rye, 1oz #Carpano Antica Formula #vermouth, 1/4oz Maraska maraschino liqueur, stirred w/ice, into chilled cocktail glass rinsed w/ DelawarePhoenix #absinthe. This take on a Manhattan is less balanced: herb & fruit.

How Old Is Old Whiskey?
There is a lot of interest in “Extra-Aged” whiskey today. The market is mourning the loss of age statements and consumers are paying high prices for whiskey that still have age statements with doub…
