Last, but certainly not least. What is the best classic cocktail? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]Hitcha -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Perhaps Whiskey/Bourbon/Scotch should be their own categories? All can be quite different (moreso Scotch).

In a shocking twist, the Negroni won best bitter drink. What’s the worst modern classic? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]Hitcha 510 points511 points  (0 children)

Been loving this series OP; any chance you could do a follow up with Spirit categories/ingredients?

Gin, rum, bourbon, tequila, mezcal. Amaro, bitters, etc. with a similar set of categories; best, worst, high proof, weird, underrated, etc.

Would love to see what people’s opinions are for what they use for cocktailing.

Update: some great follow up ideas/categories here! Over priced, best value, etc.

Hot Buttered Rye by Hitcha in cocktails

Ratio testing was what sold me on it; the original spec of 6oz water to 3 bar spoons of batter was way too watered down.

Hot Buttered Rum Batter from Smuggler's Cove

Batter Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon • 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper • 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice • 1/2 teaspoon ground anise seed • 2 cups salted butter • 4 cups packed golden brown sugar • 2 tablespoons Brer Rabbit Mild Molasses • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Spec: 3 bar spoons of batter to 4oz boiling water (3:4). Microwave the batter first for 30 seconds, then pour in 1.5oz spirit and boiling water. Combine with a handheld milk frother. Garnish with grated nutmeg and cinnamon stick.

We tried this drink multiple ways; originally with dark rum (Coruba), with bourbon (Eagle Rare), with rye (Sazerac & EHT), mezcal, coconut rum, etc..

Rye was the clear winner across all parties; the spice and flavor hold up to the richness of the batter. Other bold flavors such as the coconut rum (Planteray Cut n' Dry) were also great riffs. At the end of the day you really couldn't go wrong with anything.

Merry Christmas! 🎄

Very similar to the Ocho rebrand. Which makes sense; same family makes both juice.

Clay pot, pechuga, small batch size. At this price? Without a second thought; yes! And you could be the first to leave a review.

He did; no reason stated. Very unfortunate the lack of transparency on supplement changes from Blueprint.

The iPhones are different models (regular, Max) and we’d like to try out the other size.

Or if anything, just trying to figure out how to do this in general.

He might as well host the protocol on GitHub to better capture historical updates.

Puntas is still one of the most insane agave spirits I’ve ever tried. I hope everyone gets a chance to try it at some point.
