I loved the beautiful French lift and would have preferred to have it kept as an elevator, even if not a working one, than to turn it into a table. I'm sure others will think it's fine but it makes me want to cry.

Just to clarify, the French Lift was repurposed to a booth for 2. You sit in the lift on a bench seat, and they move a table to you. Alice Davis was there to be the first for dinner. She loved the lounge and salon.

It is a busy weekend for me. I'm enjoying an hour down time, before heading back.

Here are a few pics...

Blue Crab Cocktail

Angus Sliders

Hurricane, Bloody Mary, and French Martini

That's high on my list as well. I do need a shot glass as well to compliment my other one.

How was the Hurricane?

I'm a big Hurricane fan, so I also want to know!!! And the Bloody... And the martini....

Oh, WOW!!! Thanks so much, Malcon10t!! Those sliders and fries look amazing, and a French martini...!! That's my very favorite drink! I didn't know they had those I'm afraid they'll have to carry me out if I get in there to sample

I'm SO glad to hear about the lift. I still don't know if I'll like it as such but it's certainly better than what I thought it was from the picture.

ETA: In thinking about it some more, no, I'm not at all happy about the lift. However, there's not much I can do and it isn't my club so I'll just miss it with all its lift accoutrements. I suppose it would be hard to please everyone 100%

Very true!

I agree -- I love that the lift was kept in some capacity, but I don't like the way it was utilized. It looks kind of awkward the way it is set up now. I think I would have preferred that it was just left as an empty lift, randomly placed on display somewhere in the Club. But, oh well... It's not like I can do anything about it other than accept it!

Hurricane, Bloody Mary, and French Martini

Those drinks look great

I'm far from the parks, so a homemade version of a Carthay Manhattan is the best I can do right now

 

[DizMe]

Hey, that's very clever, nonsuch! You want to come make some of those at my house? Now all you need is the ice thingie that whoever plans to get and a way to make ice with no air in it. I can't remember how they said they do that. Sheesh...this thread is making me feel like a bar hound and I rarely even drink! I do make a mean French martini, but that's like saying you make a good screwdriver.

I just noticed how pretty that granite is in the drink picture from Malcon10t. It looks like it has turquoise in it.

Slow freezing, top-down insulated freezing, twice boiling and slow freezing... they all work. I haven't tried this thing out, but it uses top-down insulated freezing from what i can tell.

Is Carpano Antica the vermouth they use in a Carthay Manhattan?

Here is the machine they use in 1901. Pardon the fuzzy picture; as I've said, I'm a terrible photographer.

This has much better pictures, they just aren't mine

Be sure to look at this! It includes a video and explains how this uses only ambient heat and gravity. http://laughingsquid.com/the-ice-ba...-ice-spheres-that-melt-more-slowly-in-drinks/

Yes, that forms the clear ice, but it doesn't make the clear ice. You need to start wtih clear ice and then use whatever mold you want (they use the sphere... I want the water molecule one aka the 3D mickey). Getting the clear ice is critical though otherwise you'll have a cloudy sphere/mickey/diamond/soccerball/snowflake/etc..

I wasn't sure if the thing you had linked to made the clear ice or was another method for molding the ice. Thanks for the clarification!

The detailed recipe was in a food blog (that I cannot find ).

a martini, only make it rye and put a cherry in it instead of an olive

Recipe from MousePlanet:

Carthay Manhattan - Bulleit Rye Small Batch American Whiskey, Carpano Antica Sweet Vermouth, Angostura Bitters, and Luxardo Gourmet maraschino cherries served with an ice sphere made from locally sourced purified water.

The Luxardo cherries are $20/jar

 

[DizMe]

The Luxardo cherries are $20/jar

Whoa! That's why I stopped making my signature drink, the French martini. The Chambord costs me about $5 per drink! Good thing it doesn't call for Luxardo cherries

ETA: I stopped making it for everyone. I only make it when there are a few of us now.

ok...quick question please..... What exactly is a French martini....? My bar/drink IQ is low, low, low.. It looks interesting....is it a strong, alcohol/mediciney taste? or more of a fruity type?? (HaHa... quite uninformed/clueless descriptions!!)
TIA

Very easy and yummy. Packs quite a punch but doesn't taste like it so you have to watch it, LOL.

1 part pineapple juice (I like to use Pineapple-Orange)
1 part vodka
1/2 part Chambord

put in a shaker filled with ice, shake, and pour!

I use those small cans that come in a 6-pack, which is 2/3 cup. So...2/3 cup juice, 2/3 cup vodka, 1/3 cup Chambord. That makes about 2 1/2 martinis.

I often cut back on the vodka. That's a strong drink!

ETA: Chambord is a French liqueur made from raspberries

Just buy the chambord in the 1.75L... that's what we do..
