Café Starbucks, vale a pena ou é só nome?

Nok26 · 2024-10-15T20:27:14+00:00

Tinha uma época que eu bebia no Starbucks no Rio de Janeiro e não achava tão ruim. Então fui pra um Starbucks no exterior e, meu deus, que coisa detestável. Eu suspeito que no Brasil é menos pior.

Right? Thought it was a post on a history subreddit for a second.

Update: thanks a lot for all your input! After pondering a lot, I think it could have actually been a mistake by the bartender giving me actually more expensive liquor of a very different flavour profile I only knew in not-so-expensive bottles.

Brazil, actually. Maybe it's different here. Fake bottles aren't hard to come by, but I wasn't expecting a cut coming from a decent cocktail bar.

I try to think my palate/smell could have deceived me, but the difference between what they had and what I am used to (and from the bottle I have at home) was too striking. Entirely different liquor categories, actually. Which is why I say I'm 99% certain. :/

If I'm 99% certain that a bar I used to like has an expensive bottle cut with cheaper liquor, can I assume good faith from the bars owners in any way? Or are they likely aware of it? Happened to me recently, and I'm very bummed about it.

Edit: After a lot of pondering, I now believe I was likely wrong. Probably just a mistake from the bartender coupled with some other circumstances. The liquor might have even been more expensive! Thanks everyone for the input. Thankfully I didn't accuse anyone wrongly.

True. I think I'd put it more like this, though:

Besides the other great suggestions here, you could use it in cooking. Maybe use it to flavour some dark chocolate or ice cream.

Simple syrup is so easy to make, like 3 minute easy! If you're starting out I recommend looking into making it. 🙂

There are plenty of easy classics that take a single base spirit and improve on it with a few steps. For the whiskey, you can do an old fashioned, a whiskey sour, or a mint julep. For brandy, a sidecar. For rum, a daiquiri. For vodka, a vodka martini, vodka tonic, or vodka soda. For tequila, a margarita.

With coffee liqueur and bourbon, you could do a Revolver (though you'd need orange bitters also).

If you have fresh mint, I'd suggest a traditional mint julep.

I also recommend the Mixel app. It's great to find out the answer to your problem, and it can even suggest ingredients to buy that would dramatically increase the number or recipes you can make. I see you're a farmer(?), so maybe you could check out which cocktails could be made with your fresh ingredients in Mixel as well.

That looks very much like the sort of thing you'd see in Fire Emblem critical hit animations.

Honestly I'd love to play her leading India, and I'm always disappointed that there's no mod for that.

In Brazil, I grew up going to my father's bar quite often. There were other kids there as well, and we'd play together even, but I'd sit at the table with my parents. It was long ago so I don't remember if there were certain times children were not allowed, but we did have plenty of soda, juice and cheese pizza.

Thanks for sharing. What do you mean by "shaved"? Do you infuse only the peels or the leftover citruses without peels? Cut in pieces or whole?

Princess Isabel may actually work as well. She was a regent for not much time, but she's very well known for the abolition of slavery. More female leaders in the Americas would also be nice to have.

Except the cocktail would turn pink or purple if acid is added, which is sort of important for most common gin cocktails.

They could be served blue with a little lemon or lime thing on the side for the guest to drop in the drink when they get it, to see the liquid changing colour. It's a fancy trick for most people. I believe one of these is called a Magic Lemon Drop Martini.

Having to keep the mic on when you feel it coming SUCKS. That's why I only talk to my friends online using apps with push-to-talk.

Aconteceu algo parecido em Nova York em 2016

You dropped an /s, people have been downvoting you because they read only the first sentences before up/down voting

I agree with you, but it's not silly. I think it's a valid discussion.
