COCKTAILS Anybody?

[Modern_drunkard]

How much jalapeño?

I’ve been obsessed with both reposado and margaritas. I use Grand Marnier, though.

Reposado is the way to go. I cant remember the last time I bought silver. Too harsh. I have been drinking more Margs lately and less Palomas. Mostly because I am lazy and have been out of club soda. And I have been growing jalapenos in garden and used a whole one which was too much. I think I used Grand Mariner too but I just call all orange liquor triple sec.

 

[Modern_drunkard]

You think silver is harsher?
I am growing jalapeños, too. Maybe a slice to shake and a couple to garnish?

Yeah definitely. The aging in barrels make reposado smoother. I dont usually mess with anejo because I rarely drink tequila neat.

 

[Modern_drunkard]

I’ll do one later and send you a pic.

Rad...I am planning on not drinking this weekend but we’ll see.

 

[Deacon_Voss]

Then I’ll wait until Monday.
So I don’t temp you, and shit.

I'll bring the cock, you just wear the tail

Send that shit...probably wont make a difference one way or another. Also send one of your cleavage.

I've been making them with mezcal since a trip to Mexico last winter. Try that it adds a smokiness that's really interesting. Patronage for the orange in it too!

Good call. There is a cantina near me that makes ‘em with mezcal and been too long since I’ve been.

Pretty. Is it unorthodox because it's served up, the ingredients are varied, or both?

Because served up. Traditional ingredients.

You can see the oil from the orange peel floating on top.

Yes, the orange peel *squirted* quite a bit - must have hit the G spot.

 

[madinga]

It hit mine. Those pics are bettern porn.

 

[madinga]

I’m drinking a marg. I sent a vid with it to the Unabomber.

I found out I’m doing it wrong. I add way too much citrus. Not enough booze.

But. I like it kinda weak.

balance is important in cocktails.

C'mon - everyone has a phone - let's see some cocktail photos!

what's your Bourbon preference? Ever use Luxardo cherries?

Those are good cherries, I often use these because they're easy to find at my local Italian Deli.

I used to use Bulleit Rye in my OF's, but I got a great deal on Larceny recently and it's been my go-to for OF's and Manhattans.

 

[AbsintheFather]

One of my friends prefers rye to bourbon for an OF. I’m not really a rye fan.

Rye is a little spicier. I use my homemade maple syrup instead of simple syrup too. It makes a tasty cocktail

 

[Mr_bogey]

I use rye for Sazeracs but Buffalo Trace bourbon in my Old Fashions. Trader Joe's has great Luxardo cherries. I make my own simple syrup. I'll usually throw a lemon slice in to be muddled with the orange. I use juice from the cherries so I can leave the cherry intact.

This has been a great addition to my old fashions:

I started missing the days
Where as soon as I'd wake
I'd make a cocktail
I'd spend the time that you took
Giving me dirty looks
With my cocktail

 

[TheOriginalSA]

I use Maker's Mark

I haven't tried Luxardo Cherries, maybe next time

This look delicious. Cheers


I like rye in mine, too. I haven’t tried the fancy cherries though.

I was down, until I saw the uniform of the enemy. Mets4Life

 

[madinga]

I use ONLY Luxardo because they are heaven. I’ve even gifted a few listers with them.

You asked SA, but mine is Maker’s. Some friends urged me to Four Roses, but I’m not a super fan.

That being said, OFs FUCK ME UP.
It takes me about an hour to drink it, and I’m still woozy after. I don’t do well with brown booze.

Thatta girl... Luxardo is all I use, too.

I'm more Rye than Bourbon, but I like Makers, Woodford Reserve, Bulleit and Basil Hayden. Four Roses is very popular. Makers and Bulleit in my cabinets right now.

Nice - Manhattans are my "winter" martini (up of course) and I make them with Rye - mostly High West Double Rye

 

[madinga]

High West is my favorite too.

 

[Modern_drunkard]

Made a pretty dope Rum punch which is starting to be a go-to. Fresh nutmeg is a nice touch.

 

[Modern_drunkard]

Ingredients?

Depends on ingredients but sorta followed the

1 part sour: fresh lime juice
2 parts sweet: pineapple juice
2 parts weak: oj
3 parts strong: rum(1 shot light and 1 shot dark)
plus nutmeg and ice shaken to hell

 

[TheOriginalSA]

Awww ok a regular group hug

My pleasure

It’s so hard to be a Mets fan.

Yes it is, but this is our year

 

[Modern_drunkard]

Yes. It looked so frothy.

Don’t I remember you telling me you shook your OFs?

OFs??
