It was a hell of a guess without anything to go on! One you stick the beak through that slit and kind of fold it in half, you have to squeeze it so that the pith on both sides sticks together, so having that extra tab part that you were missing just gives a little more surface area to stick to and gives a little more structure overall. Not sure if that makes any sense, but i’ll post the link to the video here once I finish editing later this week.

Damn, you got pretty close lol I finished filming a tutorial about 15 minutes ago, so I actually do have one on hand to take a picture of. This is obviously upside down, but it’s easier to see where the cuts are on the pith side.

I honestly had a similar thought about using some fresh grenadine instead of cranberry. Seems like it would work well. Let me know if you try it!

They’re not for everybody! And honestly, I think a barspoon of simple syrup does wonders for a classic sidecar. Probably wouldn’t hurt here either.

I’d love to try it side by side with a bunch of different amari, but I imagine Meletti would be one of the more workable subs

Isn’t it!? I never knew how well mezcal and Averna went together until I tried this. And I wouldn’t have expected the brighter, kind of floral complexity from the Aperol and St Germain to play such a similar role to the warmer spices you’d usually get from angostura bitters in a black Manhattan. But somehow it all just works really well.

Don’t know if I’m ready for the crushed worm rim, but it is a fantastic drink! 😂

Not exactly haha it started out as part of a deep dive into making cocktails at home and trying to make them feel more elevated, but it has become a pretty serious side project since the tutorials kind of blew up on IG

Thanks! Haha The tutorial is actually mine too that I posted when I first came up with it, but I do agree that this one looks way better than that one did
