Oh, what dedication to the Brokie cause!

I'm very impressed - and in token I'm raising a virtual glass to you both:

SKÅL!

I would have to substitute vodka for whisky or whiskey as I can't stand the smell or taste of either. I know poor excuse for a Brokie I am. :)

and part Scot!

(But I'm the same hisley - bleugh.. Jenny (newyearsday) and I had a whiskey cocktail when she came over to visit to celebrate being a Brokie but we didn't want a second one!

But the cherry sounds nice - maybe that will cancel out the whiskey!  :D

Thanks for the toasts, all.   :)

In fact, Meryl and I had a Broketail last night whilst watching The Movie.  It certainly added to the experience. 

I used a bit higher proportion of cherry last night, and it was fine!

I know poor excuse, but Brokies would surely celebrate with whiskey, whereas any Scot would have a wee dram of whisky. Not that I like either, even the smell makes me feel poorly !

Yum! I like the dash of cherry -- it's like a single cherry in a cake. Did you try bean liqueur and elk liqueur and find they just weren't quite right?

I didn't use to like whiskey much, but Brokeback turned me into a whiskey-drinker.

We did think of that, but, since it seems to be better with ice and soda, broketail won out.

Me too!  I almost always have whiskey on hand in the house now as a result of BBM.  I also eat a lot more beans than I ever did before (truly).

I like the sound of this cocktail because it sounds vaguely related to a Manhattan, which is one of my standard drinks.  I love Manhattans... just a hint of sweetness, not too sweet.  I'm not a big fan of extremely sweet cocktails.  I tend to prefer dry tasting drinks and wine.  But, the little dash of cherry in a Manhattan is nice.  And, I can imagine it would be nice in this context too with a bit of lemon.

LOL, I'm about to go to a cocktail party for work in a couple hours... so I'm clearly gearing up!  :P
