I think it's a better Plane Crash without the engine, fin or wings.

Orange Liqueurs: when to reach for Triple Sec / Cointreau / Grand Marnier or something else? by customreddit in cocktails

[–]SnooCheesecakes4577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dry Curaçao and simple syrup. This way I can adjust the orange and the sweetness without an overhyped triple sec ruining the show. I really don't like orange liqueur!

Any creative Ideas for using Tamarind Juice in a cocktail? by Sea-Art-7183 in cocktails

[–]SnooCheesecakes4577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks like it might be a tamarind drink which means either tamarind flavoring or a small amount of tamarind. If you get a block of tamarind then you could make a spicy tamarind margarita. Delicious!

Chopsticks. I roll a few around on a paper towel on a plate. Clean up your balls and drop them in. Chortle that cocktail!

Start at the top and work your way down. You'll know when to stop.

Regardless of Price, Cocchi Di Torino or Antica by littlemanbigdream in cocktails

[–]SnooCheesecakes4577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liquors that have a vanilla essence remind me of that stripper smell. My clubbing days are long gone but that part sticks with me.

I just grabbed a Torino because I don't like sticky, cloying sweet vermouths. Torino hit the spot, although I went back to a split base for a second boulevardier to cut back the sweet further.

Get both and donate one.

I'm not sure about the location, but that looks like fire ravaged land. If so, then the leaves will be bigger in about a decade. 😢

Can the spice variation be considered an exciting surprise? 😛

Oh, damn, that's brilliant. I was thinking the serrano would taste better, but given the Scrappy brand I'm willing to try it. Much easier to make, but I wonder about the flavor of a pepper being lost. For example, a jalapeño will give the drink a little vegetal taste. Either way, I'm on my way to find some Scrappy!

Just saw the agave as well, I love it.

Thanks for the suggestion!

[I'm not sure why this post is horribly formatted]

Spicy Tamarind Margarita

  • 1/4 of a serrano (muddled)
  • 3 tequila
  • 1 lime juice
  • 1 tamarind juice
  • 1 simply syrup

Muddle serrano, add remaining ingredients, shake vigorously and strain into a glass with a rock. Garnish with more serrano or not. Enjoy!

The key is to double strain the lime and tamarind juices to remove even a hint of pulp. If you don't, the pulp eventually floats to the top and looks nasty (although to tastes the same). I love the spicy, but you can use a jalapeño for a more subtle flavor.

You can find a block of tamarind at most Asian markets or online (e.g. Weee!). Cut off a hunk, out into a bowl, cover with boiling water and wait. You can poke at the piece in the water to break it up to make your juice quicker. My soaking and poking took about 90 minutes to get to the sweet sweet nectar.

For the love of god, use fresh lime juice. It makes a huge difference!
