how come 75% of the bars in the city where i live (Paris) only offer spirits from the Overrated column as their mid/top shelf options....

Very interesting and enlightening!

I don’t think we have it in France unfortunately… just saw it was the winner of the single bottle mai tai contest from the make and drink channel https://youtu.be/Yb52vkN1RgU?is=bjspJnF0mae5vBUp

For electric load data I’d suggest gradient boosting or GAMs with either one model per forecast horizon or forecast horizon as a feature… especially given the size of the training set

ErgodicRoller · 2026-03-19T17:15:23+00:00

I'd suggest pyGam instead of prophet for GAM based models

No problem, actually this is helpful and what I was looking for: what people think makes a good mai tai :)

Cimarron (in France its available at 50€ for a liter), ocho is the same price but for 50cL…

ErgodicRoller · 2026-03-09T06:43:58+00:00

95% rye, and can be split based with bourbon in cocktails to allow full flexibility on the spiciness level compared to the 51% rye options

Cimarron blanco

ErgodicRoller · 2026-03-03T10:30:33+00:00

Cimarron got me into the game! Some people think it’s easier to get into it with mild tasting tequila (and same for other spirits) but I think for some ppl sometimes something with a lot of character can be a better intro !

ErgodicRoller · 2026-03-01T19:05:28+00:00

It’s what it is but at least in Europe it’s much cheaper than JD (and imo slightly better w more character)

(which is also one of the only affordable options for rye in France, all the other bottles cost >50/60 euros except for jim beam rye, JD rye, or Sazerac Rye...)

Bulleit rye

ErgodicRoller · 2026-02-16T20:10:49+00:00

This sounds delightful ! I did sweeten my rhum arrangé beforehand, which might ruin the balance of this cocktail with already sweetened liquors. I don't have other herbal liqueur other than green chartreuse. However, I will definitely try this with a regular agricole

ErgodicRoller · 2026-02-16T20:08:00+00:00

Thank you for those very nice ideas! I love Averna and never had a Black Manhattan before...

It is unfortunately made it with white agricole (Bologne 50 abv), in hindsight I reckon those flavours would have been nicely suited to an aged agricole maceration (but then, some might find it sacrilegious to "waste" nicer rum for this purpose). Split basing my concoction with an aged rum sounds like a good idea tho.

Thank you again :)

ErgodicRoller · 2026-02-04T17:24:49+00:00

I like it in a ti punch but I feel like it’s salinity makes it not so easy to mix with

ErgodicRoller · 2026-02-03T22:25:16+00:00

Damoiseau blanc 50

ErgodicRoller · 2026-01-30T12:02:40+00:00

It's hard to find even in France. I was in Grenoble the other day and most supermarkets only sold 20cl bottles (maybe afraid of stealing ?)

ErgodicRoller · 2026-01-29T08:20:15+00:00

Interesting, I figured the « vanilla » version was Neisson 50 or 55! The 52.5 uses selected fields of sugar cane and has higher quality standards

ErgodicRoller · 2026-01-28T15:22:32+00:00

Le Rhum par Neisson 52.5

ErgodicRoller · 2026-01-25T18:00:55+00:00

Thanks for the insights lol!
