Was able to introduce some friends to The Last Word as I had packed a bottle of green chartreuse for our two month stay in Las Vegas. With the lemon juice from lemons we had picked fresh off of our AirBnB property in Phoenix, it made for a very tasty cocktail that we all enjoyed. Nice to turn on friends to a new cocktail !!

Rittenhouse old fashioned garnished with a couple of luxardo cherries.
No photo because I made it with regular ice cubes. |

A Spicy Prickly Pear to kick off a leisurely dinner at Cattlemen’s Steakhouse yesterday- delicious way to spend the time between the FEI World Cup Grand Prix Jumping and Dressage Freestyle sessions. Also last evening I had Texas T Whiskey, both by itself with just a little ice and as part of a Texas T Iced Tea, enjoying both having never tasted (or even aware) of that Whiskey

Tangerine Lemon Drop. I have found a regular lemon drop too sweet. But this was slightly sour and very refreshing. |

That has to be one of the most unique both sounding and looking cocktails that I have seen. Also, never heard of butterfly pea flower, let alone what it tasted like. It does look quite exotic

Pineapple Upside Down drink. Pineapple infused light rum, pineapple juice, coconut water and a dark rum floater. |
For those who like cucumbers a very easy & tasty cocktail.
Mrs Willie & I enjoyed the Archangel last night during our home cocktail evening.
Instructions call for bruising cucumber, I mashed/muddled the cucumber as we both really enjoy cucumber. A very easy drink to make https://punchdrink.com/recipes/archangel/ |

Separately, I have recently discovered that there's a global shortage of Chartreuse! The monks have apparently decided to limit production. Has anyone been able to find it in stores?

Can our European friends start shipping more Green Chartreuse to the US. Asking for a friend that can’t get it in our state and misses our Last Word cocktails.
Of course I meant “their” state and “their” last word since I was asking for a friend 😂 |
I had to go to 6 different places to find crushed/ shaved ice but glad I did. Mint Julep might be my new favorite drink.
https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...8a94c711ba.jpg the one on the right was my friend who was driving...bit watered down. |
One of my Juleps from Oaks Friday and Derby Saturday- made with Willet and homemade simple syrup made specifically for juleps slow simmered with mint leaves then strained)https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d5642b839.jpeg

No mint julep but Woodford and chips at the back of the plane returning on 1st leg from KC BBQ DO:

Last night I made a Boulevardier with cask strength bourbon, Cocchi vermouth, Campari, and a dash of orange bitters in lieu of the orange slice.
This was great - maybe the best cocktail I've had in a long time. |
Cherry Old Fashioned at JW Marriott Houston Downtown Griffin Lounge. Very nice! (forgot to take pic)

I had to look it up too. It didn’t make a big impression. Possibly just a splash used. . . .
Woodford Reserve, Metaxa 7 Stars, Vanilla Sugar, Orange Bitters, Amarena Cherry To save all the rest of us the trouble: :D Quote: Metaxa (Greek: Μεταξά) is a line of branded Greek alcoholic drinks, each a flavored amber blend of spirits and Muscat wine, aged in oak barrels. Several Metaxa products have numbered "star" designations indicating, according to different sources, either the product's age, the number of base spirits and wines used in making it, or simply the quality level (itself a reflection of the age). Metaxa's main exported products are 5 Star, 7 Star, 12 Star, and Private Reserve. (Metaxa 3 Star is not exported.) . . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaxa |
