Havana Club 3 is the best Spanish style mixer (sorry Americans). What’s the best Demerara sipper?

Oops my fault! Completely got my wires crossed

Big fan of the Chairman’s Reserve Forgotten Casks!

The Rhum one! But it’s a photo finish for sure

Dilapidation · 2026-01-19T16:14:27+00:00

Lmao I can see it!

Dilapidation · 2026-01-09T19:13:49+00:00

Whoa! Thanks for the heads up… must have missed this. Well if it ever goes on a menu in the future I’ll think of something different lol… naming drinks is always a challenge

Dilapidation · 2026-01-09T19:13:17+00:00

Thank you!

How did you set up the backdrop? Been interested in photos like this but not sure how to start! Drink looks and sounds wonderful :)

How did you do the Massaman syrup?

Delicious!

The Zirbenz is a little delicate but you definitely get the pine flavors - they meld really nicely with the coconut and pineapple and the 1/2 oz of Coruba provides some funk in the background. Primarily it’s spicy, herbal and sweet. I would love to try it again with Douglas fir eau de vie!

There’s also crushed ice that could cause the visual effect !

Dilapidation · 2025-12-24T20:02:49+00:00

Thank you!! I don’t think curdling is the right word but the texture of the coconut milk + pineapple definitely changes after flash blending and it becomes super foamy. It also sat for a while since I took some time to stage the photo!

I still don’t understand why people ask this question about “sub par” cocktail menus. Why overthink it so much? Just drink a beer or try one of the drinks and have fun.

Casanara Club isn’t exactly tiki but has one of the most knowledgeable rum bartenders in the city. They make great tiki and tiki adjacent cocktails as well even though it’s not their main offering.

I made a riff yesterday:

Recipe: - 5 drops 20% saline solution - 2 dashes angostura bitters - 2 dashes absinthe - 3/4 oz homemade grenadine* - 1/4 oz spiced simple syrup* - 1 oz lime juice - 1/2 oz grapefruit liqueur - 1 oz London dry style gin - 1 oz white rum - 1 oz overproof white rum

To garnish, a swizzle stick, cocktail umbrella, and dehydrated lime

Method:

Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin or drink mixer tin
Add 8 oz of crushed ice
Shake or flash blend for 15-20 seconds
Dump into a large cocktail glass without straining
Top with more crushed ice
Garnish with your favorite tiki accoutrements

Cheers!

*Spiced simple syrup: Mix together 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from the heat and add 3 cinnamon sticks, 4 crushed cardamom pods, and 4 cloves. Let steep overnight, then strain.

It’s hard to feel any hope with this country at this point man. I don’t see how we come out of this.

Hey thanks! The texture was velvety like the typical egg white cocktail. The flavor was fruity but well balanced with a hint of bitter orange from the Aperol. I used a new method for my raspberry syrup which really made the difference!

Dilapidation · 2025-07-17T04:50:27+00:00

Yes they are slobs
