And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A New Orleans Classic - The Vieux Carre
3/4 oz of rye, sweet vermouth, and cognac, 1/2 oz Benedictine, with dashes of Peychaud’s and Angostura bitters stirred over ice and garnished with a lemon zest.
Breakfast toddy.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast of Champions! Nemo
ReplyDeleteA breakfast tipple. I don't drink this stuff straight. However, I do smother my corn flakes with it.
ReplyDeleteYou can't drink all day unless you start first thing in the morning.
DeleteI take my bourbon, rye, or other whiskeys neat, though I will throw an ice cube in from time to time.
ReplyDeleteSame, I try to force myself into cocktails, but I can’t justify covering up good whiskey
DeleteYou're not covering up; you're enhancing. Rye can stand up to it.
