Smooth gin drink with Aperol, Lilet Blanc and Angostura bitters.

This is not from any recipe. I had been thinking of how to make a layered cocktail to mimic the fall colors. I had to go thru quite some alcohol and failed experiments before I could get to a set of alcohol and liqueurs that had the right viscosity and color and also were compatible with each other to make a good cocktail.

Finally settled with some vodka, a little chartreuse and orange juice and a few drops of grenadine to give the red color, a few drops of Aperol to get the orange and just one drop of Jagermeister for some brown color to float in the drink as it started dispersing.

Gin, Limoncello, Yellow Chartreuse and Lemon Juice.

Finally found some use for the Limoncello that we bought in Italy in summer. Also, trying different background colors for the pictures.

Bourbon, Aperol, Sweet Vermouth and Maraschino liqueur.

The name is of course a reference to Kentucky (Bourbon connection) which was the 15th state to join the union.

Bourbon, Campari and Sweet Vermouth. It looks very much like Negroni. That is of course because it is just like Negroni except tge gin is replaced with Bourbon Whiskey. Like Negroni, a Boulevardier is also garnished with an orange slice but i could not find any orange in our kitchen!!
