Drinking Voyager Vodka Martini, based off of one of @diffordsguide . 2.5 units Citrus vodka, .5 units your preferred dry vermouth (we are loving Aixa), .5 units sake and 1/6 unit Pisco. It definitely benefits from a good, long stir and a good quality vermouth.

Dr. Zeus. Interesting use of ingredients. Not as good as a Sazerac, to which it is related, but worth a try. We give it a 3.9/5.@diffordsguide @mxeat #cognac #amaro #coffeeliquer

Today's experiment...horchata! We are trying Chef Aaron Sanchez's recipe. Now, us being us, I am sure we will want to use this delightful concoction in a cocktail.  @aaronsanchez, do you have an horchata cocktail recipe you would recommend?

You know what goes really well with @DelMagueyMezcal? Pepper Jack cheese and crackers. My husband is having seconds.

Tonight's Slivovitz Old Fashioned is inspired by a wonderful drink we had at @AmbarCapHill. We are currently working on a January Top Shelf Views column, exploring the world of brandies. Stay tuned.

@HarrisTeeter, shopped in your Asheville North Carolina store today, #348. Connor in your produce department provided outstanding customer service. He actually hunted us down in the store to hand us the limes we had been unable to find.

Tonight's cocktail is a Slivovitz Old Fashioned. Sublime. Combination of Slivovitz, Rye, simple syrup and Angostura Bitters. Lots of ice, lots of stirring. #BistraSlivovitz #DickelRye #cocktailoftheday @AngosturaHouse

This evenings cocktail is called a Cherry Martini. Created by @diffordsguide, it includes @Heering, @NoillyPrat, and @Svedka Citron Vodka. Pleasing and subtle commingling of flavors.

@DadsHatRye We are close to Greenville, SC. Will @TotalWine or @GreensGville be carrying your products?

[liquornerds @liquornerds]

@DadsHatRye , we live in North Carolina. We have not been able to find your rye on the shelves in our local ABC Store. Is it available in North Carolina? If not, could we find it somewhere else in the South?

[liquornerds @liquornerds]

You know who REALLY enjoys rye? Mr. Alton Brown​. Below is a link to an interview with him:

@DavidWondrich on rye: "...not a whiskey for gentlemen of elegant leisure to sip on the verandah. Sharp and stimulating, it’s a fuel for work and talk and invention." Here's his 2016 essay on rye: https://t.co/7ZwMEDocfh
