Tried this drink tonight and I must say it was GREAT! A bit sweet for more than one, but a single glass has a lot of class.

PS I used my dear old dad’s ’40’s cocktail shaker. It’s been sitting on my shelf for about 20 years and I doubt it’s been used since the 60’s. Hope my dad was watching from where ever he is while I was “shaking”.

I made this drink last night after seeing your blog post. Its a delcious, well-balanced drink and should really be made the official drink of Canada. We’ll be posting our version to the Madtini.com blog soon. Cheers!

Anthony – To be honest, I’ve been somewhat irresponsible in my making of this cocktail. I don’t actually remember the origins of where I discovered it. I tried relocating it myself with no luck. Maybe someone else out there knows; maybe I’ve overlooked it in an obvious book. I’m really not sure.

Courtney – Thanks for your support. I am glad that there are people here who appreciate a good cocktail, though they are in no way as numerous as those who do in NYC. Please make sure to say hello the next time that you are in, and I too am looking forward to showing Houston an alternative sophisticated bar scene. Thanks again.

I’m so thrilled to have found your blog! I moved to Houston from NYC and I incessantly miss my options for proper cocktail bars in this city. Little Branch was my second home! We visit Beaver’s often and it’s certainly our go-to bar of choice…even when we aren’t hungry for BBQ.

Just wanted to say thank you for introducing people to cocktails that go beyond bottled flavors and sticky sweet syrups. Last night we ate at a steak restaurant where I asked the waiter what their best cocktail was…he looked at me and said, “well, I wouldn’t know what to recommend because we probably have different tastes. I do Gin and I’m sure you’re looking for sweet and fruity.”

I can’t wait for you all to open your bar and show Houstonians nightlife past wine bars. Cheers!!
