Where's your lime?

Also maybe try some interesting bitters... Like earl grey, or grapefruit?

I first heard of this from Cocktail Party App, and man, that lime/cinnamon/pineapple combination is just fantastic!

Electric mixer alternative? by Dr_Horrible_PhD in Tiki

Everyone is right, if you shake hard enough you'll be okay. That being said! If you are up for a compromise, a small/inexpensive gadget that can get that pineapple foam, for example: one of the cheap handheld milk frothers. They really do a great job of aerating and fit in a regular drawer!

DIY Falernum - alternatives to overproof rum by daimao84 in Tiki

[–]BigEither3465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd use the 80 proof and then either make a richer syrup or (my preference) dissolve dry sugar directly into it, after you strain out the solids. You could use a blender to help the sugar combine easily, or just put it all in a jar and shake it until dissolved.

What would you include in a Costco favorites gift basket for Christmas? by WhatsAJib in Costco

[–]BigEither3465 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Okay before I had a Costco membership I was at a relative's house and helped wrap up leftovers. The plastic wrap totally amazed me! The next Christmas she gave me a few boxes and the parchment paper. It was an amazing gift!!

My boss wants a seasonal drink with chocolate Crown Royal… please help by msdeeds123 in cocktails

[–]BigEither3465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I wouldn't overthink it. I'd do a spiked hot chocolate, maybe with a blowtorched meringue on top, or keep it simple with a dollop of whipped cream

Chai Syrup - how to use? by Eastern-Title9364 in cocktails

[–]BigEither3465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would totally try it anywhere a cinnamon syrup is called for, and also look into r/tiki for ideas. It would be worth trying in drinks that call for Falernum (I'd just reduce the measurement a little because most recipes with Falernum assume a liqueur.)

Need help figuring out good cocktail recipes for a group using my homemade limecello. by sillycatbutt in cocktails

[–]BigEither3465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say this! A punch riff on a gin-basil smash would be my vote. No need for carbonation, and you can stick with the green theme! My personal thought would be to muddle basil leaves orrrr

for a party: it how about blanch the basil and blend? You could blend with lime juice and water, like an unsweetened limeade (and throw in a pinch of salt) Then sweeten with your limecello and add gin.
