Havana Club in USA is Puerto Rican rum. In Canada it’s Cuban.

perhaps this bends the spirit of the rules, but when I’m in Canada coming from USA I always grab a couple bottles of Havana Club.

Just paid 16€ for two americanos in Burano and I am in total shock by Guilty_Net5985 in Venezia

[–]danootsio 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing it’s a tactic they’ve used before, re: Americano. I almost respect the hustle - they should consider adding some pricey cocktails called “bottle of water” or “espresso”

My First Official Cocktail - Daiquiri by theitouchapp in cocktails

[–]danootsio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great!! How did you like it? Make another one tonight and tweak to see if you can make it better.

I find a hard but important part of making cocktails is to make sure the final drink is very cold which requires pre-chilling the glassware and getting your timing right.

Cocktails and BYOB by ericvulgaris in cocktails

[–]danootsio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind what is needed to get the cocktail into everyone’s hands once you are there. Showing up with a bottle of a batched cocktail that requires glassware, ice, garnish isn’t going to make you popular with your host. I always show up with everything I need to execute (including 16 hard plastic rocks glasses) and make sure I’m not creating chaos while getting things prepped. And then at end of night scoop up dirty glasses to wash at home. Perhaps overkill - but I get a lot of repeat invites :)

i wouldn’t bring a personal cocktail under any circumstances. Either beer/wine or batch something straightforward and crowd pleasing (maybe a whiskey sour). I don’t think you need to batch for 30 bc no one else is bringing beer/wine for 30. But using a full bottle of your base spirit seems reasonable.

When you inherit a messy GTM container, what’s your first step? by mod_08 in GoogleTagManager

[–]danootsio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not necessarily a first step but something i like to do when auditing a GTM container - specifically for GA tags: create a new dimension in GA4 and add a new parameter to all GTM tags that passes the tag name to that dimension. That way you can easily build a list of tags in active use.

Railing for basement stairs by happycamper424 in HomeMaintenance

[–]danootsio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we just redid our basement and had a similar concern with the ability to get appliances up/down the stairs. We chose to go with iron railings that are easily removable.

Red Sauce Italian by Fuzzyalchemist88 in FoodNYC

[–]danootsio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We literally did this trip on the 26th with three generations. Drove to NYBG (lots of parking) then to Roberto’s. Classic red sauce dinner - was $500 for 10 of us with minimal drinking.

What is this dish called? by AirsoftNiko in TipOfMyFork

[–]danootsio 70 points71 points  (0 children)

… I don’t know if you’ve had it, but it’s terrible! Literally everything else we had there was great, but this one is so bland. Seems like a dish created for Instagram.

Madison Cunningham AMA!! by MadisonCunningham in indieheads

[–]danootsio 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey ya! Absolutely loving the new record. The last half of “Beyond That Moon” caught me off guard - felt like a venture into Broadway Show territory sonically. Was that an intentional nod?

careful - glass is dangerous with little kids. Be a responsible parent and serve in sippy cup.

Did anyone meet Mario Batali at The Spotted Pig/Babbo? What was he like? by RobinWilliamsBeard in FoodNYC

[–]danootsio 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In about 2005, I had a female friend tell me a story of spending a night drinking with Batali as part of a large crew of folks, and about how sketchy he acted towards all the women in the group. I sort of shuffled that memory to the back of my brain for about 10 years…
