OK…  I think I might be phoning it in on these cocktail names.

I’m also starting to think this blog has served it’s purpose.  Namely as a place to keep notes related to my education in spirits.  I feel like I’ve come to a place where I can walk up to a liquor cabinet and concoct a decent cocktail to suit my flavor desire of the moment.

I suppose I will continue to record experiments that I find compelling but the fun now seems to be in the ad hoc improvisation.

And thus, Smokey Pete was born (yum):

1.5oz                 Johnny Walker Black
.75oz                Campari
.5oz                   Ramazotti
.25                     Green Chartreuse
1 barspoon     Lemon Juice

Shaken, up
