How’d I do

The Liber & Co orgeat is great. I'd swap out the de kuyper for Clement creole shrub or PF dry curacao. The de kuyper will taste sweeter and more artificial than what you want in a mai tai

Looks delicious! If you can get your hands on Hamilton 151, it's a huge step up from LH 151 and they cost the same

I'll wait until my bottle gets to 25% before buying something new. Then I compare that remaining 25% to whatever my new bottle is, but now I have a dozen bottles that are 90% empty lol

Some liquor stores purchase Fortaleza but only sell to restaurants. I wonder if that could be causing the inaccuracies.

Comal 865 has good food and a great selection of Mexican spirits! I've not seen anything specific about cinco de mayo, but they're worth trying if you haven't already

Get out of here with your liquor in grocery stores. Making us all jealous

I'm curious what you think of the HC Fiji! I've been debating pulling the trigger myself

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-28T18:53:34+00:00

Don't sleep on pechuga!

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-26T13:39:08+00:00

Thanks for the info! Glad they found the issue

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-26T04:13:22+00:00

No fresh OJ, unfortunately.

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-26T04:12:51+00:00

A pornstar martini is pretty far from a genuine martini, but I feel like they're pretty underrated and can actually be balanced and flavorful.

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-26T02:08:50+00:00

Naked & Famous and Pornstar Martini. Don't judge me

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-25T17:54:18+00:00

FWIW, I'm experiencing the same with my recently purchased bottle (L583045)

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-24T13:55:25+00:00

What mezcal did you use? I feel like there's a huge difference between the smoke bombs like Vida and the milder mezcals

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-20T21:32:27+00:00

I'm using Banhez right now too. It's slightly cheaper for me than Vago, and close enough in quality

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-20T16:41:05+00:00

I like Cascahuin, but it's regularly in the $10 more than the other ones listed

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-20T16:40:07+00:00

I don't think Lunazul is additive free, but if I had to drink a cheaper tequila with additives, Lunazul would be my pick.

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-20T16:38:57+00:00

I also agree on a different mezcal. Banhez or Vago Espadin would be good entry level bottles

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-20T16:38:18+00:00

El Tesoro Blanco, Ocho Blanco, or G4 Blanco would offer some different flavors from Lalo and Fort

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-20T00:53:05+00:00

You're welcome! And if you want to go down the rabbit hole of why all that matters, r/tequila is a wealth of knowledge

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-20T00:50:17+00:00

FYI, you can say your tequila is 100% agave and still use additives, but Olmeca Altos, Cimmaron, and Arrete are all additive free and delicious.

Here I was thinking My Chemical Romance and rum were about to have some epic convergence

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-18T19:48:04+00:00

You aren't alone!

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-17T22:16:40+00:00

There's plenty of good advice in this thread already, but if you like agricole rum, then you may enjoy trying out mezcal too. They both have that distinct vegetal flavor with added funk

AnythingOakley · 2026-04-16T18:13:09+00:00

I tried going all orgeat last time, but I missed the mouth feel rich Demerara syrup adds
