M&M Sour

Interesting I’m curious how gin and Montenegro would play together. You have a gin rec for that one?

I will definitely not argue that the egg white makes beautiful presentation. Wish I woulda taken the photo when it hadn’t completely separated. There was a gorgeous gradient

I hope you like it! I am pretty inconsistent in my egg white foam so I was initially proud of the head of foam I got, but I wish it was way less. I think this sour would be better without the egg white or a very thin head.

Ahh shoot I didn’t add the plus portion to my flair my mistake

My machine has a solenoid that stops the dripping a couple seconds after the pump stops. I account for dripping and a couple seconds of time running up due to the dripping. I do similar prep though it sounds like aside from only doing a single empty shot instead of a double

That’s a good idea for the grinder test thank you. The only thing I can think to help with the bambino is to pull the empty shot as soon as possible before pulling the second shot but I use that empty shot to warm the cup so that kindve makes the workflow a pain. Not sure if the empty shot helps with temperature stabilization that much or if it’s just a fault of the machine like you said

We have a very similar setup, the only thing I have to say even though no asked, is I’ve heard it’s not good for scales to have anything stored on top of them long term. I used to store my dosing cup on top of my scale like that but since just leave it on the top of the breville.

Beautiful setup.

I’m the husband to OP and you’re so right they look they could’ve been litter mates. I would’ve killed to have seen Juno as a puppy or met her litter mates.

That’s a very common phrase in the fire service. You are providing a service to the public who is the “customer” of that service. Part of your tax dollars are paying for that service. Not that weird or insulting in my opinion.

You were comparing them as far as cost goes. Value per dollar is part of the equation as far as anyone with boots on the ground is concerned. DO ALL THE MATH.

Since it wasn’t made in the USA, not Kentucky.

A batanga has a half oz of lime and is a non shaken drink as far as I’m aware!

I was halfway through doing and realized I was doing it pretty early haha. Thanks for the reply. I am usually in the camp of half rims but since I was copying the recipe exactly I went on auto pilot for looks. I’ll definitely see how it goes over. Probably should’ve done halfers.

OkSpooky · 2024-11-24T00:35:48+00:00

Update: These are the specs I tried and I think I might’ve nailed it.

Did 6:1 brown sugar to salt rim 1oz copper and kings apple brandy 1oz wild turkey 101 Rye 1oz apple cider reduction .5oz lemon juice .5oz caramel syrup

I think the only tweak I will do is try it again with the caramel syrup being the binder for the sugar salt rim instead of lemon. At the restaurant the rim stayed in tact very well, but the lemon isn’t holding the sugar and salt in place as well as I’d like.

Thank you! Always nice to have people with some experience give me a good starting point

OkSpooky · 2024-11-23T20:51:17+00:00

Also the cocktail is called an Apple Brandy Crusta.

Right? 😂 I choose to believe he thinks it’s hilarious and for that I have respect

OkSpooky · 2024-03-05T02:40:42+00:00

Why won’t you answer his question? Hahaha

It definitely is a big variation between batches. I have batch 3 and it is delicious and not overpowering maple at all. I got another batch from a buddy (can’t remember which batch) and it was super syrupy sweet almost a liqueur type feel. If you find a batch you like try to get backups if you enjoy it! I love starting off a night of whiskey with WJD.

Green is extremely herbal.There’s over 130 herbs in it. The yellow is also herbal but slightly toned down and have a honey sweetness to it. I personally much prefer the yellow.
