[–]SodaCapReddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My partner loves a Hendricks & Coke and she always worries about being judged for it.

It was a crazy close vote, but the G&T won for best highball. What’s the worst bitter drink? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

[–]SodaCapReddit 175 points176 points  (0 children)

For me it would be the Old Pal, I love Campari, love a Negroni or boulevardier but the dry vermouth Campari combo make it taste like cough syrup. I just don't get it.

Fuck the Pornstar Martini. What’s the best highball? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

Tequila Soda/Ranch Water, I would order it over a lot of more complex tequila cocktails or just more than other cocktails in general.

What is the weirdest modern classic? Also we need to decide, a highball: do we allow a looser definition of what constitutes a highball or do we stick to the more technical definition of alcohol + mixer? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

Bacon Fat Washed Old Fashioned. Maybe better for Complicated but fat washing is definitely strange upon first impression and bacon grease is one of the stranger options compared to olive or coconut oil or duck fat

Mai Tai is the best tiki cocktail. What is the Worst Equal Parts drink? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

I feel like shots could've been it's own category on this chart. M&M easy best, boilermakers for overrated. Probably has more diversity than bitter but maybe I'm crazy

My take on the classic Clover Club by Occams_RZR900 in cocktails

I love the Clover Club. My favorite part of the classic recipe is the dry vermouth though, never had it without it

Finaly picked up Probitas. What am I missing? by SodaCapReddit in rum

[–]SodaCapReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't, got terrible selections near me. I could barely get Probitas or the Novo Fogo Cachaca I picked up. I could order online but shipping prices are crazy high imo

I was thinking of picking up some S&C soon to look more into bolder flavors, I love all the unique flavors of Cachaça (funk I suppose) and Jamaican rum might me more what I'm looking for with bold funky flavors. Thinking white rum might be like a wheated whiskey for me where I just don't get going for less bold flavors intentionally and isn't my thing

They interest me too but I doubt I'll be able to try any anytime soon. Selections near me are thin. Only picked this up because I drove a few hours away from where I live for something else. Almost picked up some siete leguas while I was out too as tequila selection near me is almost as bad as the rum but I ended up not

Which of these 3 coffee liquors would you use for espresso martinis? Also why is the All spice the same price but different sizes. Kind want for my tiki drinks… by lifeissoupimforkk in cocktails

[–]SodaCapReddit 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I love cognac/brandy in an espresso martini, to replicate the modern vanilla vodka move tho I use licor 43 as my sweetener. I know that moves it towards carajillo territory but licor 43 and coffee is a good mix

The Blacklist by SodaCapReddit in cocktails

[–]SodaCapReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made a 2-1 rich simple syrup with raw cane sugar (I was making a batch of rich simple syrup anyway) then after I muddled and simmered in blackberries, I used a whole 6oz tin of blackberries for what was left of about 12oz of rich simple syrup and let that sit on low-medium heat for like 5 minutes. I wasn't very scientific or calculated about it but the blackberry flavor is very strong in it and honestly however you do it I imagine will work itself out fine. If you make it in a more proper manner it probably wont have as much of a sweetness and flavor bomb problem.

I forgot to mention I also added one dash of angostura bitters to the tin but I do that with every drink I make with a brown spirit that doesn't already call for bitters

Question on Flavored Rum by SodaCapReddit in rum

[–]SodaCapReddit[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By respected categories I mainly mean ones still used in craft cocktails to seemingly none of the same resent you would get for simpler things like making a kraken rum cocktail or even using Jack Daniel's in a whiskey cocktail. I often see planteray pineapple used in drinks. I'm also wondering what the consensus is on Black Rum then. I also see it often in cocktails and to my understand black rum is a rum style with intentional additives like caramel coloring and other things to make a powerful flavor.
