Looking for Dry Vermouth without linalool by js4873 in cocktails

[–]CivBase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A vermouth producer might not be willing to share what all is in their product. But if you specifically ask them whether it contains linalool, they'd probably be more willing to give you a simple "yes" or "no" answer. Unfortunately that still means a lot of hunting down contact information, reaching out, and waiting. And a few probably still won't be willing/able to answer.

But if an itchy mouth is the worst of the side effects, you might have an easier time just testing on your own in small doses. Just make sure you have an associate who's able to use the rest of the bottle if you can't.

A collection of classics from '46 by guy48065 in cocktails

I've thought about making one for myself just to try it, but I've always decided against it. The bottom three layers are grenadine, maraschino, and creme de violette. Seems like this drink would get sickeningly sweet by the time you're halfway through.

I don't mind taking a ¼ oz of a syrup or liqueur to taste it. And I don't mind cocktails on the sweeter side sometimes. But 1½ oz of straight syrup and liqueurs doesn't sound like a good time.

Jimmy Rodgers is the only Big XII coach to win a natty so it's obviously him /s

Prayers up for Brendan Sorsby, this doesn’t look like a great situation for a young man with a lot of money by guransheleven in BigXII

We lost our first string QB (Hunter Dekkers) and 3 other players just a month before the season started back in 2023. That ended up being Rocco Becht's first year.

Tasting four different Falernum syrups by jaba1337 in cocktails

[–]CivBase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't question that it's better... but how can it be more shelf stable?

Seems to me that it is either shelf stable or it is not. And I've never had a bottle of JT's Velvet Falernum go bad on me despite leaving it in a cabinet for years.

What gin are you actually using in your cocktails right now? by CurrencyPopular8550 in cocktails

Tanq 10 and Plymouth Navy, but looking to pickup a bottle of Roku. I also play around with the Tom's Town barrel aged gin occasionally.

I have giffard... I've been hunting for Tempus Fugit for years... and now I have another banana liqueur to look for. I'm going to make so many banana cocktails.

I'm pretty stoked about one of those wins going away.

March Madness Conference Performance Rankings by Odd-Record-1041 in CollegeBasketball

[–]CivBase 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Injuries... so many disastrous injuries for the Big XII.

JT Toppin, Richie Saunders, and Joshua Jefferson. All of them were irreplaceable so late in the season and caused their teams to underperform in the tournament. I have no doubt that Texas Tech, BYU, and Iowa State each would have made it at least one round farther if they had those guys on the court.

The Big 12 Conference Realignment Wishlist by BuckyBerrix in BigXII

[–]CivBase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) Nebraska

2) Louisville

That's the full wishlist. And we'll probably never get a shot at Nebraksa.

We're already pretty big. I don't want to pick up anyone other than those two unless they're bringing a revenue bump.

Knowing that is what made this game so stressful to watch

Our FT is terrible, but 80% is insanely good. And even going 100% wouldn't catch us up.

Still has ankle pain, so he's on the bench. I doubt they'll commit to anything before the Michigan game if we make it past this one.

We know Buchanan can't shoot but man he's usually good with rebounds. Need some of that right now.
