Artemis Report post Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) That LA 31 sounds like it would hit the spot on a typically hot, muggy summer day in the Big Easy. As did the St. Germaine elderflower drink I got from a cart on Royal Street. I don't know what they mixed it with, but it had ice and a slice of lemon it it. Full sized drink. No charge. Hard to pass up. Edited July 30, 2012 by Artemis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absomphe Report post Posted July 31, 2012 I'm not generally a liqueur fan, but I'm quite fond of St. Germaine, in restrained doses. I wouldn't have passed it up either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cajun Magic Report post Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) Tonic eh Joe? What about Gin? Plymouth, Bombay , Hendricks? I recently got my taste for gin after finding the right brands,and a dry martini shaken not stirred is how I roll where's the tuxedo smiley when you need it since I am a nostalgic and sentimental man I will try the Gin Rickey and Gin Gimlet. Although my favorite gin drink is a tie between the Ramos Gin Fizz and Martini! Tonic just makes me think of an awesome 90's rock band and a Gin and Tonic. Oh and congrats!

Artemis Report post Posted July 31, 2012 Ramos Gin Fizz is the one drink that keeps me from saying in complete honesty that I don't care if I ever have another mixed drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Père Ubu Report post Posted July 31, 2012 And a good gin it is! Nouvelle Orleans. God, I'm gaga over the base. Joe, maybe once in a blue moon you can make a special alcool de vin Ridge Verte.

Joe Legate Report post Posted July 31, 2012 Joe, maybe once in a blue moon you can make a special alcool de vin Ridge Verte. As Ron knows, it is on the wish list with a dozen or so other projects. If it wasn't for that j-o-b (that I love) or my too-many-hobbies or if it wasn't just Jules and I running the distillery, etc... We're getting closer though!

Cajun Magic Report post Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) You're making me get some serious jonesing,fiending,craving,et cetera for your gin... I haven't had the pleasure of even trying it! Just reading up on it and seeing pics makes me want a bottle or two lying around my bar. I noticed your absinthe first on the website! Oh and btw Sexy bottles .

Joe Legate Report post Posted August 1, 2012 Thanks! We have a few fans out there. Catskill Cellars and DrinkUpNY take good care of us. By the way, Pacific Distillery and Leopold make some kickass gin, too. Voyager & Leopold are also in my top 5 gins. What? Tie your hair in a pony tail? I don't get it. Am I missing something? In the summer when it's hot and the winter when I don't want to wear a hat since around 1969: Freshman year of high school. I have developed a fear that I might have Samson-like qualities so I'm not about to cut it. So far, so good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cajun Magic Report post Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Well I have bookmarked catskill cellars and will be making some future purchases there as soon as I get several bottles to hit the boneyard! I'm not purchasing hard liquor until I eliminate a few bottles from my bar. OCD thing I think I will be purchasing your absinthe and gin in the not too distant future!
