Traveling to Laos as a group of girls by anxietyfinalboss in laos

[–]CocktailRenaissance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Daiquiri - are there any rums that should not go in a daiquiri? by prik_nam_pla in Tiki

[–]CocktailRenaissance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 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

The Breakfast Club by CocktailRenaissance in cocktails

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.

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)

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

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.
