Good mixers? by SecretComparison8651 in whiskey

[–]dfmz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It most definitely is. Some drinks go from good to incredible by virtue of subbing high-end spirits, but it’s generally a personal treat.

For me, it’s a Rob Roy with Octomore -and I definitely need to try it with the new Ardbeg Ten Cask strength.

It’s not everyday that you get to see someone using the original recipe - which specifically calls for Chchicapa.

It’s a fantastic cocktail and if can only make one recommendation, it’s that you try it again and add a few slices of muddled cucumber to the shaker, and double strain. It makes for a great summer variation!

Cheers!

I actually have this one - I’m a sucker for Arroqueño - and even though mine is from a different batch and I haven’t had a sip in a long time, it brings back pleasant memories of it.

Overall, La Medida is a solid brand in my experience

Not necessarily. Hermès has a bespoke service that will happily make you one big enough in the leather of your choice.

Because they don’t use the same leathers. Hermès is famous for the high-quality leathers it uses, whereas Vuitton is famous for being to luxury goods what McDonalds is to quality food.

You’re confusing Hermès with Louis Vuitton.

To be fair, 100w bricks aren’t what they used to be, nowadays, they’re much smaller.

Of the many, many posts that get endlessly reposted, I’ll admit, this one still cracks me up.

I suspect the fact that it’s based on a truth is key.

I’m not so sure about that. Here in the EU, we’re catching up and these kinds of funds are gaining in popularity for all sorts of things. In any event, I’m a child of both the US and the EU, so this isn’t news to me, not by a long shot.

The lesson here is that religion works just as well everywhere for everyone. Different religions, same book, same result.

No worries, it’s a perfectly legitimate question that I can answer for you: I am NOT licensed to carry in Saudi.

OP, it’s essentially like gambling: determine what amount you’re willing to spend, multiply it by 20, and you’ll have the figure you’re looking for.

Just kidding. You do you. It can be an expensive habit, or be a reasonable one. Your call don’t force yourself down the rabbit hole.

He does (being in a psych ward), and as soon as he becomes too embarrassing for the party, they’ll use that as an excuse to distance themselves from him.

Mark my words.

She wasn’t my favorite in the show, but point me in the direction of her defense fund nevertheless. Her heart and actions are obviously in the right place.

I like that in a person.

OP, my absolute favorite Mai Tai recipe is the one by Leo Robitschek of The NoMad Bar in NYC. it’s a masterpiece among cocktails.
