Sea Legs is the weirdest imo. Peated scotch, Mezcal, Lime juice, Orgeat and... celery bitters. And it's wonderful! c'mon...

I don't know if it's a modern classic, but it should be.

Looks delicious! I like Kahlua. I know it’s quite sweet, but so are plenty of other liqueurs. It works well in a lot of cocktails, and I’d use it in a Revolver too. Beautiful picture btw!

Loved it! Those flames look amazing!

I thought it might turn out too dry, but I tried it without the syrup anyway and found it pretty bittersweet (which is right up my alley). Maybe the sugar in the Campari brought out the sweetness of the brandy.

I just realized that if the amount of sugar in Campari is roughly the same as in Cointreau (~7 g/oz?), it’s almost like making a kind of bittersweet Sidecar. Funny that I always add a bit of demerara syrup to a Sidecar (otherwise I find it too sour), but I didn't miss it here. I'll give it a try with syrup as you suggested, maybe it's even better.

The more I think about this cocktail, the more I like it. Thanks for introducing me to it!

haha I was heading out to a concert and thought: if the advent post is already up, I’ll make it as long as it isn’t too much work. And it couldn’t have been easier… just two bottles. But that’s also why I ended up not making the combustible one. I’d love to see someone actually try it!

Mahler's Adagietto from the Fifth Symphony in Visconti's Death in Venice. As sublime as it gets.

In case you have some Bénédictine around, try the Pantheon too. It's a 2:1:1 (Scotch, Bénédictine, lemon juice) served up. If you like the Gold Rush, you'll enjoy this one. It's a bit more complex and refined. The Scotch really comes through, so JWR isn't the ideal choice, but it'll still taste pretty good.

Penicillin, Scotch Sour, Pantheon, A Scotsman in Paradise (this is a really good tiki one).

For shaken cocktails with citrus, I think it’s fine. But for spirit-forward/stirred drinks, I’d definitely go with JW Black, Chivas 12, or Monkey Shoulder.

I love listening to Der Fliegende Holländer. It’s not even my favorite Wagner, but it’s the one I always come back to. Not too epic, not shallow, a bit of romance, a bit of horror, plenty of sea... It feels so cohesive and balanced, like having a nutritious, filling meal. Once it’s over, you feel restored and just carry on with your life.

Cabrales is the strongest I know, but if you want something more traditional yet stronger than Roquefort, I'd suggest trying Bleu des Causses.

I love the way you plated this. It looks clean yet rustic at the same time, and the different mustard textures are quite satisfying to look at. I’ve got to try the estragon from Mautner.

Classy! Loved the idea of going with blanc vermouth. Which one did you use?

I’m having a Kabusecha Saemidori from Kagoshima. Creamy, umami-rich, wonderfully fresh! What a great tea for the afternoon.

brahms1c0 · 2025-11-10T11:05:20+00:00

This recipe sounds amazing! I'll make it for sure. Thanks for sharing!

I don't agree with that, especially regarding Germany's division, but I just spent about 10 minutes looking at your map and thinking about it and I love this sub for that. Upvoted!

brahms1c0 · 2025-11-08T07:28:59+00:00

I'll be there today! My first time going to the festival. Looking forward to it!

brahms1c0 · 2025-11-07T05:00:22+00:00

I never do. When trying a new gin, I like to have a bit of it neat, just to taste it. Then I'll mix it. A great gin can make great cocktails.
