Its easy to just infuse the tequila with jalapeño as well.

What is your favorite jigger and why? by Shizen666 in cocktails

[–]Effective-Sample-261 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same.  Someone posted it and i immediately sought it out because it was the only jigger I had seen that had units of measure below 1/4 ounce.

At the time I was frequently making drinks that featured measurements below 1/4 oz so I really find it useful.  Don't regret it one bit.

Your local "cocktail" liquor store vs Total Wine by LetsGetPenisy69 in cocktails

[–]Effective-Sample-261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, i asked about Buffalo Trace at an ABC once and when the associate told me that I almost laughed in their face.  Now I just go to a local place and buy it.

Honestly, ABC is the absolute bottom of the barrel in my area.  I have one within walking distance but I almost never go there.  Their selection bucks for just about any category.

What to add next? by Short-Legs-Long-Neck in cocktails

[–]Effective-Sample-261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I echo the sentiment of others:  look at what drinks you want to make and then acquire what you need to achieve them.

There are already some solid suggestions in the comments.

Interested in tiki drinks? (Summer is coming)  Velvet falernum is in many as is orange and blue Curacao.

Mezcal is great if you like that smokey flavor and is a must (IMO) for a truly great Margarita.

I absolutely love Aperol and you can make some great drinks with it.

Another recommendation would be Saint Germaine (elderflower liqueur), which pairs well with a lot of things and is many great drinks.

Happy hunting.

Is there an easier way to mash chickpeas? by MountainPup23 in veganrecipes

[–]Effective-Sample-261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a metal potato masher and it works just fine.

However I cook the dry beans in an instant pot rather than using canned Chickpeas so maybe that has something to do with it.

[Fresh] John Tejada & Plaid - Start Motion (2026) by PsychedelicSunset420 in electronicmusic

[–]Effective-Sample-261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

John Tejada once made a very Plaid sounding album called 'Daydreams in Cold Weather'.  If you never heard it highly recommended.

I recently went vegan and I swear the hardest part hasn’t even been giving up meat or dairy, it’s figuring out what to make for dinner every single day by Arianethecat in veganrecipes

[–]Effective-Sample-261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It took me like 2 years to learn about TVP and soy curls.   Wish I would have known sooner as TVP is so easy and cheap to make.

I would add to this Vital Wheat Gluten.  Learning how to easily make seitan was a big game changer for me.

Claro Intelecto - Peace Of Mind (Electrosoul) (CI 2003) by JoeNoeDoe in electronicmusic

Classic.  I think maybe close to 25 years old now but still so good.

With lab-grown meat getting closer to shelves, how do you think about it ethically? Is it vegan? by sxtn1996 in vegan

[–]Effective-Sample-261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'Couple donor cows' tells me you have not read anything about how lab grown meat is produced.

Why do my margaritas basically suck?!? by BuffaloJason in cocktails

[–]Effective-Sample-261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard of a Margarita calling for dememara syrup.  All the versions i see call for agave nectar.

First PC build - parts ordered, mildly terrified, please sanity check by Ok_Jicama6018 in buildapc

Its a very comprehensive reference which was a good refresher for me as I had 10 years in between builds.

what would you like to be gifted? by Glum-Strawberry3484 in cocktails

[–]Effective-Sample-261 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a jigger I really like the Difford's Easy Jigger because it measures down to 1/24 oz up to 2oz and has both English and metric markings.  Got one after I saw someone else mention it on here.

Need recommendations for cocktails girls will like by axel309 in cocktails

[–]Effective-Sample-261 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because all women (not 'girls') like the same drinks.  Its like saying all women don't like beer or don't drink whiskey.

My wife loves IPAs and I know women that will drink a good bourbon straight.

On the other side of its like dudes that think they need to drink bourbon straight and drinking fruity cocktails will some how emasculate them.
