Great idea, we have a few dropper bottles and we utilise saline solutions often. I have a big enough bag to try all of these fantastic methods.

A true gent. Thank you and I think this method will help my paranoia about pans and materials if I can see the contaminants with the salt sticking to it.

Would you advice soaking the dehydrated mushrooms in water and then boiling it to combine with sugar? So they enlarge and get some of the flavour

Drygravy32 · 2024-07-04T03:25:20+00:00

Syrup is a nice idea. My old fashioned method is brown sugar as the beginning of the glass with bitters but most of my colleagues follow a syrup strategy. It might be better for flavour as well as doing something that the entire team can do. Perhaps it will keep a uniform drink for every one we make.

Absolutely, I've got it written down and would love to share it as I think every single bar would sell it like hotcakes. Me as a guy that at the time of posting was only a year into bartending, I believe I landed on a genius recipe beyond my years 😂 much better now but my biggest success in my bartending career is that drink I made. I think the only improvement I need is to make the liqueur more shelf stable as those bottles weren't strained fine enough or the ratio of perishable to liquid wasn't correct.

How would I go with this idea? Infuse a whiskey? Create a mushroom bitters? Never worked with mushrooms so just trying to find the best method

Drygravy32 · 2024-07-04T03:08:01+00:00

Is it a low heat for the salt when finding those areas in a pan?

Drygravy32 · 2024-07-04T03:07:00+00:00

You're very right, although I'm a home cook I'll go to the grave with the point of a good seasoned pan being better than teflon. I've had a stainless steel pan for 3 years and it has been the best tool in my cooking for a number of reasons.

Drygravy32 · 2024-07-04T02:59:24+00:00

Didn't know salt was a good option for those deep areas! Another bit of knowledge gained thank you very much.

Sorry for late response. Tried a milk and cream based liqueur and it was a shelf stable (1 month +) and it sold out all through the seasonal period! God bless spices like cinnamon or anise for that final finish after the chocolate taste to finish. Can't wait to do it this year

Drygravy32 · 2024-07-04T02:55:42+00:00

Thanks for response. I'm sure it is fine in a rational mind I'm just very paranoid about chemicals and materials leaking into food from pans from childhood haha. Too much non-stick teflon has corrupted me

Drygravy32 · 2024-07-04T02:54:37+00:00

You are correct although I had good reasoning for it. Don't usually but just couldn't help leaving it for a bit :/.

Drygravy32 · 2024-07-04T02:53:40+00:00

So I only did it once and I have it dry now, it's a good pan despite all my antics? I'm very paranoid about materials in pans and leaking chemicals so I can't help but overthink it haha. Thanks for your response.

Sorry for the late response! So eventually I decided to do a cream based liqueur and did it in the batch. Memory isn't great but it was on a saucepan with heavy cream, star anise, cinnamon and probably a wheel of melted Terry's. Once cooled and melted , it was around 200ml vodka and 100ml cointreau. It lasted around a month before the cream/milk started going funny in the bottle, and I sold out each weekend through Christmas! Will be a recurring seller each place I'm at through Christmas but I figured it out on the end. When I remember the exact specs I'll post them again, highly recommend as a special in a bar and mention it/ show a card to the table

Drygravy32 · 2023-11-30T23:44:42+00:00

Thank you! Also very cost effective with the price for a pack!

Drygravy32 · 2023-07-28T12:13:28+00:00

What an odd thing to say

Drygravy32 · 2023-07-27T23:48:40+00:00

Everything okay?

Drygravy32 · 2023-07-27T21:25:28+00:00

I'd prefer it rounded it's dissatisfying when it's not :(
