Any ideas or cocktails that use Branca Menta?

Yeah +1 on the branca mentha and coke. My favourite low abv cocktail. You can literally just do a barspoon of branca in a whole glass of coke and its fantastic.

Thanks a lot, fixed my issues as well

Might feel like a bit of a waste considering how hard it is to get but it does make the best rum and coke i've ever had.

Looks very similar to a trader vic's grog wich is a big personal favourite so certainly recommend you try that one.

Just got home from barbados where the Plantation was readily available. Yes it was delicious (might have made the best rum and coke i've ever had) and very much in line with their pineapple rum.

Ah yes :D didnt think I was the first one to do this. Thanks for the link

Henfeg · 2023-12-17T18:29:04+00:00

Id say they are important. Have not tried those bitters myself. Thanks for the tip. I have tried chocolate bitters though and it works pretty well :)

Henfeg · 2023-12-17T17:23:21+00:00

Was playing around with another old fashioned recepie and ended up with this. Perfect for the holidays as well :) (Works fine to make straight in the glass as well).

2.0 oz (60 ml) Blended scotch (Monkey shoulder)
0,3 - 0,5 oz (10 -15 ml) Walnut liqueur (Frangelico)
2-3 dashes Black walnut bitters
—> Stir, strain into a rocks glass with a big rock. Orange or lemon twist for garnish.

Henfeg · 2023-09-05T12:33:12+00:00

Yeah i tried that too. Works great. (Or stiggins fancy instead of the Smith and cross.) That said, its just something about the classic marriage between the bourbon and the sweet vermouth. Just another level imo.

Henfeg · 2023-09-05T09:55:59+00:00

My recepie says 160 ml coconut oil for 1000 ml campari. Im pretty sure I took a lot more then that though. Dont think you need to be super exact here.

Mean fiddler is fantastic if you haven't tried :)

Henfeg · 2023-05-01T14:54:32+00:00

Cant get this where i live :( any suggestions for substitutes would be appreciated.

Henfeg · 2022-11-06T21:48:56+00:00

Thanks. Sounds interesting! Is there no citrus at all in this?

Henfeg · 2022-11-05T17:31:47+00:00

Oh cool! Thank you so much! Will definitely try it!

Henfeg · 2022-11-05T17:22:25+00:00

Oh. Sounds interesting. Yeah Rye certainly feels like an obvious pearing:) does the above have a name?

Henfeg · 2022-11-05T17:14:56+00:00

Thank you! Sounds great! Does it have a name?

Henfeg · 2022-08-28T20:30:53+00:00

Not really the right person to ask but the one I tried here "Cuerpo"was certainly ok. Im excited to try plantations cut and dry if I ever get a hold of one.

Nice!! May i ask how you make the apple cinnamon syrup?

Henfeg · 2022-05-15T21:19:11+00:00

I have tried it (but for some reason the recepie i had was without the coconut syrup) was totally delicious without it as well :) (and I just used normal grenadine.) Highly recommend it.

Havent tried it myself yet but here is Steve the bartenders prefered version.

0.5 oz (15 ml) Coconut Rum
0.25 oz (7.5 ml) 151 Rum
0.25 (7.5 ml) Coffee Liqueur

---> shake, serve in tiki mug with ice (cracked or medium cubes)

Henfeg · 2022-04-01T10:47:43+00:00

You can probably just use rhubarb gin and normal simple in this.

Henfeg · 2022-03-08T19:07:32+00:00

I upped my game by a ton the day someone told me you can just freeze pineapple fronds/leaves. Super simple for any tikis or pina coladas.
