There are only about a half-dozen bottles left on the shelves in the entire province of BC, so if you're up to your ears in it I may have to take a trip over the border and become a reverse-rumrunner.

Really? No wonder you go through so much bitters; you should be using J&B, of course. Neat means never touched ice or water. Straight up ("up" for short) means shaken or stirred over ice and strained into a glass. As co-admin of the Whiskey and Scotch meetup, I could not stand idly by and let this pass.

There aren't ANY vodka drinks in my year of cocktails since these are (almost) all Prohibition-era cocktails, so stay tuned. Cedar I’m so glad you approve!

Perhaps I got a bad bottle? I love Fee's for bitters, particularly their orange. I go through bitters like nobody's business. Violet, I don’t love Plymouth as much as I think I ought.
