Given the echo rules I can not say negative things about any foreign
politicians, just my own.
Since you hate gin, I'll save my martini variations for Shawn.
But on a different riff, a little while ago I was out of whisky to
make Manhattans and out of daiquiri fixings for my rum and I was too
lazy to go out so I started experimenting with dark spiced rum and
sweet red vermouth. I buy The Kraken, a black spiced rum from
Trinidad and Tobago. It's premium priced but also premium quality.
I didn't have high hopes for the outcome but I discovered that 2
parts rum and 1 part vermouth with a teaspoon of cherry whisky and a
squeeze of lime juice is downright tasty. The addtion of ginger ale
converts this short, strong drink into a lovely highball. Now I make
it both ways on purpose as a regular thing. Now I just need to come
up with a snappy name for it. Something with more zing than rum
Manhatttan or Cuban martini.
