    Cocktail help

    I had a previous thread asking about rye like Whistle Pig 10 year old. I have tried a few and decided to stay with it. Now, I am trying to formulate a cocktail with it. I tried 1.5 oz Whistle Pig, 0.75 oz Cointreau, and 3 dashes of Regan's Orange Bitters. I like the addition of orange flavor...

    New "Forward" political party

    Mix of reject Republicans and Democrats claiming central ground for all Americans. Not surprising that a bunch of people using an old Marxist slogan as a party name are vehemently pro gun control.
