Perfect way to end the day...

That's a good way to ruin a good line of crank.

I'm sure you boys would find either one for a good time.

Been enjoying these this week.

Hard cider and rum were favorite drinks of the colonials.

Had a Moscow Mule tonight. Absolutes doing a promotion of the Mule along with several variants. It was served in a mason jar. Didn't understand this then noticed that is the way their advertising is pushing it. Noticed some copper mugs and asked to have it transferred to the mug from the jar. The copper mug was even labeled "Absolute Mule." Go figure. Since the mug was smaller I got to try a side by side comparison of a Mule served in glass and in copper. Copper is the winner hands down. Wouldn't even care for one out of glass.
So now that I'm back home...Maker's, on the rocks. Cheers!

Good info, I will have to give this a try as well.

So, this is unique, a gift from my brother at Christmas:

General Washington's Cherry Bounce Liquor

Rye whisky, brandy, neutral grain spirits with a cherry flavor.

Came in a nice custom made box with a pair of colonial type sipping mugs.

Made by Tamworth Distillery in NH right up the road from me.

Since it's not aged in sense that a bourbon or single malt is, it has a bite but a unique taste and a pretty fair replication of what would have been common in early America.

On the rocks? How is it best poured?

I'm trying a bunch of different ways, rocks, straight, soda water...

But so far, especially on a cold night, it seems to be best when served as a brandy or cognac: straight up in a snifter, warmed slightly, with a lemon or orange rind twist.

That's how I'm having it right now.

Well, that makes since. I'll see if my state masters allow through their store.
