Tequila - straight from Mexico
Recently available in the US, but phenomenally priced in duty-free at CUN, is Gran Centenario Anejo. I paid US$18 for a fifth (no liters available). Recommended before my trip to Playa del Carmen by a colleague who lives in Mexico City.
Angostura Bitters - Where are they?
For a great alternative, check out www.urbanmoonshine.com. I am a customer, not affiliated with the company, but I did meet the owner once in a bar.
cocktails you've invented that worked or didn't
I have to lay claim to what is now known as the 'Manmosa.' I called it the 'Bromosa' when I, as far as records can tell, invented it on Bull Street in Savannah during St. Patrick's Day 2001.
OJ, liberal Champagne, with a vodka floater.
good low end liquor
Since the thread's been bumped ...
Tequila: I have to ring in for Azul Reposado, a new, 100-percent blue agave offering from the House of Centenario. $19.99 for a fifth, $29.99 for a 175 here in the ATL. Gran Centenario Anejo is also a great buy here ranging from $24.99 - $29.99 for a fifth.
Vodka: Fris is a nice choice and can be had for $15.99 a fifth.
Scotch: Make fun of me, but I am kind of fond of Dewars White Label.
Gin: Hendricks. No other. $29.99/fifth.
First post. Great thread!
