    Wild Turkey 101
    bitters
    vermouth
    Ice

    Pour Wild Turkey into a nervous glass.
    Put the bitters and vermouth away.
    Dump the ice out of the shaker.
    Enjoy.

    It's been a while since I made a new cocktail... but here it goes:

    Cobble Hill

    [​IMG]

    2 oz. Rye
    ½ oz. Dry Vermouth
    ½ oz. Amaro Montenegro
    4 Cucumber Slices

    Gently bruise three cucumber slices in a chilled mixing glass, then add the remaining ingredients and ice. Stir, strain into a chilled coupe, and garnish with the last cucumber slice.

    Milk & Honey decent beer selection, but a bit overpriced even for NYC.

    I've actually never been.

    First heard about it years ago, but we're usually pretty busy when we're in New York.

    Tried to go to PDT on one of our last trips, but there was too long of a wait.

    One of my favorite memories of my grandfather is going out to restaurants and ordering Negronis, which apparently no bartender in the world knows how to make, because we would always get a quizzical look in response.

    It's hugely popular with bartenders right now.

    I've never actually had/made a classic Negroni. Gin, vermouth and Campari just don't sound great together to me.

    I've liked multiple variations though, so I should probably try the original.

    This article kind of fascinated me. Jefferson's ages some of its bourbon in barrels that are then placed on small boats for a period of time, then sent out, with a captain, to sea. The motion of the ocean and the temperature fluctuations age the bourbon and give it a distinct flavor. It inspired me to buy a bottle of the stuff ($80, but a tax write-off since I'm going to write about it in a food column). I haven't opened the bottle yet, but looking forward to trying it.
