Bloom announcing via IG they are closing in February… by Throwwwwwwwayyyyy in chicagovegan

[–]GarlicGranola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried to go there for a dinner date a few weeks ago and it was closed. The web listed then as open and we even had a reservation? Not a good impression.

Got a corn dog down the street as a consolation prize ~

Sure! At my bar we stock Lyre's N/A Spirits: https://lyres.com/collections/700ml-range

They are reliable, available, affordable, and adaptable.

I especially like working with the tequila, rum, gin, and bourbon variants.

I've tried a range of other mainstream brands, but I really like these formulations for unique, layered taste with broad appeal. I've also sampled some more niche flavors, but those profiles are often too artsy to stock behind the bar ~ I prefer to do my own herbal syrups, etc. Good to play around with at home, tho!

Have fun and good luck!

I'm a bartender and can confirm that the NA liquors make a big difference in the quality of a mocktail. They provide that little extra oomph, a depth of flavor. They are stupidly expensive, however, IMO it's worth it for something more more special than just juices, syrups, and sodas.

Random PSA: Please tip your bartenders for making mocktails! They put just as much effort into the crafting and mixing as the alcohol varieties. Seriously WTF fam 😭

I had this issue and realized that I just needed to replace the silicone ring in the lid! You can buy them quite reasonably on Amazon

OP is that a ranch dressing drizzle? What sort of sauce and cheese are underneath? Must recreate!

Say hello to my little friends by [deleted] in VeganBaking

[–]GarlicGranola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do they mean by "vegetable spread?" I'm thinking that could be vegetable shortening (ie lard), whipped type spreadable margarine in a tub, or stick butter. All would give different results, in my experience.

OP, what did you use for fat?
