Upcoming TDN – Sandeman Port

Don’t miss the last TDN of 2008! We’ll be mixing up delightful new libations with Sandeman port, our sponsor this week. Pick yourself up a bottle each of Sandeman 10 Year-Old Tawny and Founders Reserve and join us this Thursday at 7pm EST in the chatroom.

TDN Pimm’s

Who knew there were so many tasty libations with Pimm’s that didn’t have the word “cup” in the name? The whole assault of cocktails is on twitter, but take a gander at some of the highlights:

The Cocktails

Winter Temptation

• 1 1/2oz bourbon
• 1/2oz Pimm’s
• 1 1/2oz lemon
• 1oz simple syrup
• 12 slices Apple
• 1 dash Fee’s whiskey barrel-aged bitters
• 4oz ginger beer, to top

Muddle the apple slices with the lemon and simple syrup. Filled with cracked ice, the spirits and bitters and shake like snow falling off a Christmas tree. Strain into a rocks glass and top with the ginger beer.
