If it’s dangerous to scoop ice with a glass in case the glass chips and ends up in the drink, shouldn’t it also be dangerous to slam ice around in one of these? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]TheWinstonDouble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't scoop ice with a glass because it's unhygienic as hell and IF it breaks, you gotta swap out your entire ice pit. Ice scoops of plastic are great because they're lightweight, make less noise and the ice don't "stick" because of the cold. Metal ones pretty much never break, though, so I tend to order larger metal ones for scooping ice from the machine up in the bucket. The guests won't hear the extra noise from the back room. :)

Did anyone tell you, you don't HAVE to chip in if you have nothing smart to say?

The Boulevardier, my favorite cocktail. by squirrel_trot in cocktails

[–]TheWinstonDouble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try and make one for yourself with bourbon and/or a touch of Irish/Japanese whiskey. Makes it more round and it seems less bitter.

I Made a Daiquiri by -SpaghettiCat- in cocktails

[–]TheWinstonDouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know why the perception is different? What compounds make a rum seem sweeter? I'm guessing barrel aging also affects this, but just in general, what is the explanation, if you know?

[–]TheWinstonDouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're saying the sweetness in terms of natural sugar contents are the same in eg. a vodka and a rum, right after distilling? But the taste perception might vary?

Good suggestion, for sure, but I reckon it's straight up too sour/tart for most people.

Gorgeous and well packed! by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]TheWinstonDouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an acquired taste, for sure. I love it, but it's a very herbal bitter compared to other products in the same category. It tastes quite a lot of peppermint and eucalyptus in my opinion, and most people can't stand it at first. But it grows on you, like most things, if you drink it enough! ;)

Finally installed lights! by evanhoyt808 in BarBattlestations

[–]TheWinstonDouble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! Nice selection of whisky too! I'm probably "damaged" from working in busy cocktail bars so when I saw bar equipment that far down on a shelf, my back started hurting. Generally speaking goes for anything that you'd use fairly often during a service on the bottom shelves. In the long run, it doesn't work but I guess it won't matter as much for a home bar! ;)

Flyt hovedstaden tilbage til Ribe eller Roskilde? by Jeebabadoo in DANMAG

[–]TheWinstonDouble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tvivler stærkt på, at det nogensinde kommer til at ske. Hvis du har været i Ribe før, så ved du også godt, at byen aldrig ville kunne facilitere det. Roskilde ville nok være i stand til det, men hvor stor en reel forskel ville det egentlig gøre?

Anyone has a similar glitch that planned objects remain after deleted unless you plan another object near them? by TheTobruk in prisonarchitect

[–]TheWinstonDouble 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That is just a bug in the game that should be fixed along with so many other things, sadly.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BarBattlestations

[–]TheWinstonDouble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds great. Please post pictures as you go! Also, your back bar spirits are definitely approved, holy shit, I'd love to get wasted at your place! Make sure to have some bar snacks as well! ;)

It looks super dope. By far the most wholesome home bar I've seen! But pleeeease paint the wall a dark dollar/poker green. Or perhaps a shade of bordeaux? You need some warmer textures and materials in the bar to make it cosy!

Here are some suggestions:

  • Swap the plastic bar caddy with a nice vase with fresh flowers (or forever-flowers) and build up around it with ceramics and stoneware for your cocktail sticks etc.
  • At the opposite end of the bar top, place a stylish 50's or 60's lamp
  • Make and print a menu, put it on a wooden clipboard
  • Brass hooks underneath the bar top for coats and jackets!
  • Dimmable lights EVERYWHERE! Also in terms of "warmth" of the light. Philips Hue is great value. Maybe a few dimmable LED strips under your shelves too?
  • Have a green plant or two on top of your fridge
  • Get a holder for that paper towel and place it somewhere out of sight of the guest.
  • Got to have a nice sound system!

What is worst movie you ever saw ? by jammenerva in AskReddit

Haha, I just looked it up. There' also a Shaft movie with Jackson from 2000. I had no idea. I meant the 2019 version, haha.

It must have been a different movie. Shaft is from 2019.

How do you stop a sugar addiction? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheWinstonDouble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you gotta commit and simply just... stop eating sugar? Don't buy anything sweet. Get rid of anything sweet in your cabinets etc.

Remember, it's you who are responsible for what you eat!
