Starting off today with a Pink Gin. Don't be fooled by the title--it's not as girly as it sounds, is an old British standard from the 20s, and apparently was started by sailors. Simply line a chilled martini glass with bitters and add chilled gin (shaken or stirred is find). Garnish with a lemon peel. The color actually ends up more orange than pink, and it is a great before dinner cocktail--not too sweet and livens up the palate.
Two experiments with drinks that I'm working on:
1) The Motorcycle--a take off from the Sidecar which will probably be made with scotch, lemon juice and bitters and served over ice.
2) The Railroad--will probably include bourbon and apple brandy. Named after an inspirational dream I had where Barack Obama travels through time with my friends and gives me hope.

It wasn't a dream-- that was REAL.
