We've been getting into trying different cocktails and variations. So far its been Moscow Mules, Classic Martini (gin, vermouth, orange bitters, 3 olives), Mohitos, Margaritas, Long Island Ice tea (5 types booze, triple sec, sour mix, simple syrup, splash of coke), Cosmopolitans, frozen mango daiquiris, most recently whiskey sours.

Would love to hear your suggestions and recipes

Get some Campari and try boulevardiers and Negronis. Really great drinks.

Manhattans, Sidecars, Old Fashions, very spirit forward.

I've been into liqueurs lately, and elderflower liqueur is really interesting. Just made a cocktail with elderflower called a Skeleton Key - was really great.

Great cold weather cocktail. Served at a holiday post party.

2oz. Good Bourbon or rye.
1oz. Fresh squeezed Orange juice
1/2oz. Pure maple syrup
2-3 drops agnostura bitters
orange peel and mariachino cherry

Add ingredients in an ice filled cocktail shaker and shake until chilled. Strain into ice filled glass, garnish with orange peel and cherry.

Sounds good. Does it have a name, John? What were you guys calling it?

Wife found it somewhere . “Maple Bourbon Cocktail” is what was written on the recipe but I don’t know where it came from.

Campari sucks.
For a someone with a relatively bland palate, probably. If you like tastes that are really aggressive, I think you'd like it.

I hated it when I was 25 but as I got older my tastes changed a bunch.
