Taste is a driving factor in our choices as consumers, in deciding what we like or how we will dress, what to eat and what to of course drink. Taste is something which we all consider highly subjective, and there is a point to this claim which is substantiated, yet taste is also something which has an objective component related directly to flavor and is a quite a bit more complex than we assume since it is a component of identity.
Opal
Sometimes you look at a recipe and think, this can't possibly be good. Then you taste it and realize in some sort of epiphany from a supernatural power that you were dead wrong. In this case, it just so happens to be monks and green faeries. The Opal, a horrifically pungent and strong cocktail, is just that, a fantastic libation that whets the tongue and inebriates the mind.
White Velvet
Another older drink, this is quite easily a White Lady with pineapple juice in place of the lemon. It works as a wonderful replacement to a gin sour.
East India
A fantastic and true cocktail, the East India cocktail is a rather old concoction with several variations.
Chartreuse Swizzle
Swizzle featuring the vegetal elixir Chartreuse, the Chartreuse Swizzle makes a fantastic long drink.
Greyhound and Salty Dog
The Greyhound and Salty Dog are two interesting highballs, featuring a spirit and grapefruit juice.
