Should I stay or should I go? Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying And Love HSC.

Tranquilo, hermanos. Just because I put a cherry in the old fashion doesn’t mean you have to eat it. I could say the same about your need to add sugar/ simple syrup to your cocktail (which I don’t).

And yes, I doubt they have the ingredients for a mint julep at bars in Moscow. I don’t think they keep fresh mint sprigs around. But I’ll stand corrected if someone goes to Russia, finds a mint julep, and posts the photo on AW.
 
This thread is headed in a great direction. Pags, McKenna 10yr is starting to become hard to find in my neck of the woods, as folks can’t find the Weller they tracked down to replace the Pappy they stopped being able to find. Great bourbon.

I had to hunt around a bit in SoMD to find it as well. Worth the effort.

The only thing I really have to add is that the bartender technically screwed up my Manhattan during RIMPAC last year, and it tasted so glorious I now have them double up the bitters on purpose every time.

Oh, and there is no need for excessive vermouth in a martini. Just face Rome when you pour the gin. Vodka is blasphemy and heresy; even Bond himself actually drank a Vesper instead.

Funny you should mention that, I was watching Octopussy tonight.....I didn't fully understand how cheesy 80s Bond films were until tonight. Swinging from trees like Tarzan? ?‍♂️
