A Manhattan with Rye Whiskey instead of Bourbon is pretty damn tasty.
I prefer it with bourbon, but rye is my go to when I want to mix it up. Big fan of the Rittenhouse Rye in a Manhattan.
That's a good one. Have you tried this stuff:
It's pretty good, not great but I got it on sale and was pleasantly surprised.
Seen it a few times, but yet to give it a whirl. How would you describe the taste?
Not as heavy as other Rye Whiskeys...it's a bit lighter, and more easy drinking. It's actually probably best used for a mixer, and good in the summertime when you may want lighter, more refreshing drinks. I tried it in a Manhattan, and with just Club Soda, and both worked well.

will be having a cocktail or 2 this evening but yet to decide what they will be..
Big decision. Don't fuck it up. The night may well depend on it.
I agree. they will pre-dinner cocktails so I will need to figure out what I will be eating so's not to screw it up
Tricky. Do you know where you're eating yet?
no, thats the tricky part..it may be pub fare or Thai
Pub fare affords you lots of cocktail options. Thai is much more delicate in terms of pairings, to be sure.
Maybe it's best to pick the drink first, then decide what to eat... Is there a cocktail you're craving?
I've given it thought and since I am on beer #2 right now, I may just stick with having a whisky or scotch neat...
Pub fare.
Thai spices might fuck with the whiskey/scotch too much. You could strike a fun combo, but more than likely you'll just cramp your palette.
ya, my wife agrees on the pub fare tonight as well...the "cook" there is a good friend of ours and last night she said she would have a homemade white bean and ham soup on the menu tonight along with a butternut squash dish...

Jealous. Enjoy, my friend. Sounds to be a fantastic evening.
