Wouldn't have put grapefruit juice and gin together (seems like a lot of competing bitterness), but now I'm intrigued.

Can't for the life of me remember where that idea came from, though. Google search brings up nothing.A straight sub might be brutally sweet, but I can see something like that working with different proportions. And I'm sure it would be simple with a whiskey.Another good thing to do with Benedictine is put it in coffee. Benedictine, strong dark coffee, and a lemon twist. Or a little soft-whipped cream.Seriously though, trust me on the Antibes. That's a goddamn good drink. Liven up your motherfucking brunch. Look like a fancy chap.

I made this tonight:1-1/4 oz Rye (Templeton)3/4 oz St Germain1/4 tsp. Green ChartreuseStir with ice and strain into old fashioned glass with a couple of cubes. Top with sparkling apple cider. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.Thinking of calling it a 'Haute Alps Sidecar'.You can also use Pear Brandy in place of the rye.

White Russian. Watch Big Lebowski, drink three of them, or more.

Been really enjoying various "sours" lately: Whiskey, Angostura (using Amargo Vallet), Pisco, and Daiquiris.

Kurious Oranj:2 dashes Regan's orange bitters2 dashes yuzu juice1 oz Manzanilla Sherry1 oz Tempus Fugit Gran Classico Bitter1 1/4 oz Brandy de Jerez (decent mixing stuff like Soberano or Felipe II) Stir, strain, serve with a big rock and orange peel garnish.
