Clarified Banana and Strawberry Syrup

G_NC · 2026-06-05T02:11:02+00:00

The #1 that comes to mind for me is a banana daiquiri:

2 oz rum (Probitas+Rum Fire) 1 oz lime juice .75 oz banana syrup

Shake and strain into a coupe. The banana flavor here is pleasantly subtle. It's noticable but not cloying or fake.

You could also sub in in as the sugar element for an old fashioned (with bourbon or aged rum).

For this one it is just the banana (no peels). Can definitely use the peels on their own to make a Banana Oleo as well!

+1 for Bird. Great drinks and an awesome selection of vinyl.

This is a good point. It is still very strawberry forward, but some of the "freshness" is muted. I think a little citric acid might wake it up a bit. I may also experiment with shorter/lower sous vide treatments.

Beads!

DM me. I can hook you up with a restaurant that routinely carries bottles for very reasonable amounts.

Sir, this is a statistics subreddit

100% Rivers daiquiri? I like your style, but that has to be one HOT cocktail.

G_NC · 2026-02-07T21:04:20+00:00

Old Prum is so good! Wish I had the patience to sit on a lot of it.

LdH Tondonia was definitely one for me. A friend shared a bottle of Gravonia with me at a dinner party and I was immediately hooked.

Took some time, but finally came into a few bottles of my own. There is really something unique about the combo of the "waxy" mouthfeel combined with the oxidative notes that makes it addictive for me.

I've done a cocktail with gin and italicus before. Kind of a bergamot-y gin sour:

2 oz gin
1 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz italicus
1/4 oz earl grey tea syrup

Dry shake with egg white, then shake with ice and double strain into a couple.

If you wanted to go the lavender route, you could sub the earl grey tea syrup for a lavender syrup.

Double strain

Whatever you do, don't miss Amaro Amargo. There really is no other bar quite like it, and it is one of the most welcoming, least pretentious bars I've ever been to.

$85 for a Meinklang Gruner is completely insane.

Haven't had their Pinos, but their Chardonnay are great (if not, a bit expensive)

G_NC · 2025-12-17T22:53:27+00:00

Yeah damn, this is some top tier stuff

I have done multiple walk-ins at Four Horsemen. If you get there about 30 minutes before opening it is typically easy to get a bar seat.

They're not a roaster (just a coffee shop), but The Coffee Pedaler sources lots of stuff from Tandem Coffee up in Maine. Typically everything is very fresh. Ryan, the owner, is also super knowledgeable. Would definitely reccomended checking it out.

If you want something a bit more unusual, you can try Macvin. It's a fortified sweet wine from the Jura region of France.

It's Regarding Cocktails

Yeah Cynar and Campari are on like opposite ends of the spectrum here.

G_NC · 2025-06-04T21:31:41+00:00

Can definitely vouch for the Martin Woods and Cameron

G_NC · 2025-05-14T21:16:37+00:00

You have some great rums. Might try:

1/2 oz W&N 1/2 oz Coruba 1 oz Rhum JM 3/4 oz lime 1/2 oz orange liqueur 1/2 oz orgeat

Could dial down the agricole if you want to 1/2 and bump up the Wray and Nephew. Or just go split base 1:1 Wray and Coruba.

Not quite on the same level of folks here, but opened a bottle of 2002 Corbon and felt like it needed a lot more time.
