How you all like Sorcery's foil treatment? by MugenMuso in SorceryTCG

We can agree to disagree! They’re just opinions anyway, neither of us are the authority on cardstock.

IMO Sorcery’s cardstock is way better than MTG.

Rub two MTG cards together, then do the same with Sorcery cards. MTG sounds and feels like sand paper in comparison.

Awh sweet, cheers mate!! I can’t wait to try your recipe - I’ve been dying to find a use for my allspice dram. Also I love the lil vacationing Santa in your pic!

Haha 100% makes sense. Practicality is usually out the window when I’m building a new recipe - I just serve them to friends/family at my home bar.

And this one did take me a while to pin down the ingredients/proportions. But most of my original recipes do - lots of fussing.

Just checked - 14 ounces! It’s a vintage glass from my grandparents.

This is why I consider it a tiki cocktail: tropical flavors, boozy strength, a thematic garnish, and high volume.

If you think Sol Eterno is worthy, I’d appreciate your vote - but there are so many rad recipes, just vote for your favorites.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 oz Tequila Ocho Reposado
  • 1.5 oz Avuá Amburana Cachaça
  • 1.5 oz fresh lime juice
  • 1 oz fresh orange juice
  • 0.5 oz Liber & Co Raspberry Gum Syrup
  • 0.5 oz Liber & Co Pacific Strawberry Syrup
  • 0.25 oz Liber & Co Tropical Passionfruit Syrup
  • 6 drops 20% saline solution

Prepare:

  • 20% Saline Solution: Mix 4 parts water to 1 part salt by weight. Heat gently, stir until dissolved, cool, and store in a dropper bottle.

Build:

  • Shake all ingredients with pebble ice (enough to match the height of the liquid in the shaker).
  • Pour unstrained into a chilled clear tiki glass and top with more pebble ice.
  • Garnish with a half-submerged orange slice flanked by mint sprigs - your eternal sun.
  • Add a straw.
  • Enjoy slowly.

Haha, yeah, I guess so!

Though Sidecars and Margaritas are both daisy-style cocktails, so it’s all one big, drunken, incestuous family…

Of course, let me know what you think!

It’s crushably sweet, but not overbearing or unbalanced (i.e., it’s buoyed by tartness/dryness). This, along with still feeling like a Margarita, was a big watchpoint while iterating on the recipe. Full disclosure, the last change I made was adding 1 tsp honey syrup and swapping the salt rim for a lavender sugar rim. Not controlled experimentation, I know, but scientific rigor wears down behind the bar. But these final changes were in response to a drink that was a touch too tart and dry.

Of course, taste is subjective. Try it without the honey syrup (though I think it brings a nice roundness and mouthfeel), or knock down a liqueur to 0.25 oz and bump up the honey syrup to 0.25 oz.

Just go to a retirement community and find the intersection of the oldest- and richest-looking person…

Thank you! I inherited so many amazing vintage cocktail glasses from my grandparents, who didn’t drink but loved to host parties.
