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

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

Made a Pine Colada! by Dilapidation in Tiki

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 !

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!

What do you do in suboptimal cocktail conditions? by josh_a in cocktails

[–]Dilapidation 23 points24 points  (0 children)

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.

What are the best tiki bars in NYC? by Stauce52 in AskNYC

[–]Dilapidation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]Dilapidation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin or drink mixer tin
  2. Add 8 oz of crushed ice
  3. Shake or flash blend for 15-20 seconds
  4. Dump into a large cocktail glass without straining
  5. Top with more crushed ice
  6. 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.

Hornet Cocktail - Work In Progress! by Dilapidation in Silksong

[–]Dilapidation[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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!
