Last night was a weird combination, I'll admit... Kind of a "Smoke on the Water" meets "Machine Head" combination. 1oz. Korbel Brandy 1oz. el Jimador Rum 1oz.

Hello and welcome, Todd!

I love Difford's!

Sorry I don't have any physical, coffee-table magazines to recommend. Just online resources

Brian, thank you for the feedback, too (thank you all, actually!). I suppose I might have 'stumbled' a bit in the Yarai with regard to your very good point about fitting two cocktails'-worth in it. I'll have to scrub around that. My wife and I prefer 3-4 oz cocktails (when complete) so my measurements tend to come to about 3oz with melted

That Large Stemmed Glass is definitely on my radar. However, you've all reinforced my first instinct and I've ordered a Yarai today. I really need that "something" extra and it fills out a foundation of essentials. So, Yarai down - paddle glasses next. Thanks, boys! I can't wait to carousel ice silently through a 3:1 martini for
