Drinking Bronxes right now, thanks to, well, what I have in my liquor cabinet. The claim to fame for a Bronx is that that was the drink Nick Charles was referencing in The Thin Man.
The proportions on this drink are very strange, but I think I have lucked onto a decent combination. My usual was a 2:1:1:1. I actually found one that called for four different proportions (roughly 1 : 3/4 : 1/2 : 1/4, with the addition of orange bitters) which seems to work pretty well.
First time having a Negroni tonight, and it isn't bad. Quite bitter. Unfortunately I have no oranges, so I can't garnish it.
This was the trendy cocktail of about, oh, 2017 or so. There's still a trend towards the simpler classics going on, though again, millenials seem to go for vodka over anything else; I was definitely the only person at the Second Chance to drink gin.

Ryan Reynolds posted this for Saint Patrick's Day/A Livetweet of Green Lantern. Looks like he emptied a whole bottle by the end.
Incidentally, has anyone had Aviation? Greg from How to Drink was using some on his show and made reference to it being "not really a London Dry", so I'm wondering about its pedigree - I would gather just a distilled gin, as many U.S. brands are.
In the new computer game Overboard, Lady H orders a Filthy Martini. When pressed what that means, she reveals that is prepared with brine fresh from the sea.
