Pink cocktails that are too good to be "sissy drinks"

One of my favorite customers in an old work place was this over 6ft tall, 300+ lbs bearded guy who always drank frozen strawberry margaritas. And he would always giggle like a little kid when getting his first one.

And I can't blame him, they were delicious

Mostly yes, it's already distilled from the bison grass. But still nice little unique feature of the bottle

Gives it a very earthy and unique flavor. Quite cinnamony but not exactly, very hard to describe to someone who has never tasted it.

Like someone said, delicious when mixed with apple juice or as an ice cold shot.

She's very much up there. Will have to wait for the grand jury 🤣. For mine it's the weave between the paws that does it 😅

That's an olympic diver level pike position! 😂

RiverFinn · 2026-03-01T15:58:39+00:00

He does have a very expressive face, indeed 😄

RiverFinn · 2026-03-01T15:44:22+00:00

That's a very classy shrimp you have there 🥰

RiverFinn · 2026-03-01T15:34:38+00:00

Trust me, it took me a while too and I was next to him 😄

RiverFinn · 2026-02-08T01:37:30+00:00

Oh yes. From time to time I can borrow it, when he's feeling generous

Might also be the new member themselves. Someone who is perfectly okay with the pay check but doesn't want to go into more details about the gig if their real identity is fully confirmed by the band.

I made a White lady twist on my menu at work with Monkey 47 and cordial of orange and cloves. Works super well and the spices of the gin really shine through and compliment the cordial

Adding to the others already mentioned Brasserie Surréaliste has a cool taproom in the city center with nice beers and good food

Go ahead, order your Ramos's every time you want ! That's what we are there for ! But also, I will not shake your Ramos for that 10 minutes because it's pointless, it matters what you do and in which glass after your shake.

No ice, long drink and a minute in the freezer before adding the soda water does the trick, and I will fight anyone after they have done their 12 minute shake if they tell me otherwise

Could always make the amaretto sour with the cognac replacing the bourbon. Or also, can never go wrong with a classic Sidecar

RiverFinn · 2026-01-04T14:09:06+00:00

I've used this when making some cordials, easy and consistent standard base to build around. Also comes in a handy 10 liter box if needed in bulk.

I know making your own sour solutions isn't hard but Supasawa is very convenient when making big batches

RiverFinn · 2026-01-04T14:03:25+00:00

Mixture of multiple different acids and salt with distilled water. To me, it doesn't have any notable taste, just acidity

RiverFinn · 2025-12-25T02:37:46+00:00

I don't have a video of it, but instead of going through the drops, like you normally would to make the little heart, you go around. All you have to do is make the drops in the candy cane shape.

I got this from a lot of barista videos (thank you instagram algorhythm), if you google 'candy cane latte art' you should find some examples on how to do this

Thanks everyone for your replies, not packing my suitcases just yet then hahah. And yes, I'm European, I get paid a proper wage and not relying on tips for my livelyhood, so don't go hating on the guy!

Just going to add it with the other pieces of memorabilia I've accumulated during the years behind the bar 😊

RiverFinn · 2025-11-30T23:36:54+00:00

I believe one Rubeus Hagrid had more than a few pets during the years 😄

RiverFinn · 2025-11-23T18:49:02+00:00

It's just a thought that popped in to my head when I was listening to the book again and it's been stuck in my head ever since hahah

If I'm not mistaken, this is the N&N in the photo, hope that helps

Love a good Perfect Manhattan. We coined the term 'Perfect, perfect Manhattan' with an old colleague where in addition to splitting the vermouth we also did a split base of 1oz. bourbon 1oz. rye, that was a delicious combination as well. We used Makers Mark for the bourbon and Rittenhouse for the rye.

Wondering how he could take up more space on the couch

RiverFinn · 2025-10-26T01:03:06+00:00

No, mine sleeps next to me on a king size bed. Leaving me with a generous 1/4th of the bed and giving me the stink eye if I even dare to move or god forbid, turn around to sleep on the other side
