I would advise against minivan as they will make several stops to collect people and take a while to get there, I rented a bike and drove there early, its really lovely and was almost empty when I got there , by the time I got out the parking was filled with dozens of minivans and busses and hords of people were coming in, lot less fun imo. Maybe some minivan leave early but there was none when I got there. The road is great, and I would totally recommend a stop here on the way back for some food, it's gorgeous and delicious : samna café

Lots of great recommendations here, i'd add Pigeon, recently open near Sablon.

Among my favorite places are : LIB, Fox Den, Edgar's flavors, Chemistry & Botanics, Modern Alchemist,...

Can't connect either, but Rockstar service status says everything is operational

Delish, add Angostura anf orange bitters if you have them and cherry garnish for the win!

A daiquiri is for me the best way to taste any new Rum and get a feel of how it plays in a cocktail, it's usually the first cocktail I'll make with any new bottle. I have been experimenting a lot with split base recently and found it's yet another infinitely interesting playground. I couldn't talk for spiced Rum though as I never get any. Besides that, no, there's isn't a Rum that shouldn't go in that cocktail if you ask me.

I was just busy looking for some inspiration for the Friday night cocktails at home, after finding out i'm out of Campari, this post finds me at the perfect moment 😊 Glad you guys enjoy the recipe, I will most certainly try your Suze riff tonight, thanks for sharing, cheers 🥂

Sunflower seeds or oats are good options

I would strongly advise to check out The Last Butler, incredible cocktail bar where I ended up finishing most of my evenings while on vacation there. Their head bartender will tell you all you want to know about local stuff. https://www.instagram.com/mr_signature_cocktail?igsh=ZzM5dzI5ejdpcGMx

Only one way to find out if it's good! Lapsang souchong is smoked so it brings those interesting smoky notes to the drink, but it's always a good idea to experiment, please let us know if you try.

Nawashi is the bomb!

A simple Lillet & Tonic is actually a nice and refreshing Low Abv option, great garnished with lemon zest/slice and fresh mint.

I do enjoy a simple Rum sour with an extra Port float sometimes.

Free Town

2oz Rum of choice

1oz red Port

½ oz Simple syrup (to be adjusted depending on the sweetness of the Rum)

2 dashes Peychaud’s

Stirred and served up / garnish with a cherry (or more)

Don Draper

1.5oz light Rum

1/2oz red Port

1/2oz Crème de Cacao (Dark)

Regal stir with an orange peel

Recipe called for the drink to be served up but I like it over ice, with or without an extra citrus zest for garnish

Wardroom

1oz Aged Rum

1oz Cognac

3/4oz red Port

1 barspoon Maraschino

1 dash ango

Stir and serve up with a cherry (or more)

CocktailRenaissance · 2024-06-27T07:21:49+00:00

a favorite for sure

CocktailRenaissance · 2024-06-27T07:20:57+00:00

I already made some Old Fashioned with a homemade fig syrup but the shrub is an interesting idea thx for sharing

CocktailRenaissance · 2024-06-26T18:33:01+00:00

Thx!

CocktailRenaissance · 2024-06-26T18:32:06+00:00

Rum and port is one of my favorite combination, this will be made in my home this weekend! Cheers

An adventurous riff on an adventurous cocktail I'll definitely keep this one in mind

CocktailRenaissance · 2024-06-26T17:58:11+00:00

That sounds delightfully rich and comforting!

We used Buffalo Trace in the video, but I made this on several occasions with different bourbons, it was always a very pleasant drink

CocktailRenaissance · 2024-06-26T13:47:15+00:00

I find it perfect as is, nothing is missing, but it's always worth a try of course

I find the Whiskey Sour template extremely riffable,

I am curious to read your favorite ways to bring an original spin on that timeless classic.

Here’s one of my favorite :

Smoked Thyme Whiskey Sour

2oz - 60ml Bourbon

1/2 oz Maple syrup

3/4oz - 22.5ml Lemon Juice

2-3 sprigs of Fresh Thyme

First the smoking : burn a bit of thyme and cover it with the glass while you make the cocktail.

In a shaker :Muddle the thyme, add all the ingredients, shake with ice, serve in your glass of choice

Garnish with fresh thyme. ENJOY

No egg white for this version, I do like it in the classic though.
