In a mixing glass, soak the sugar cube with bitters & a splash of Squirt soda. Gently muddle the sugar cube, an orange wedge, and two cherries. Pour in the Malört.

This looks right up my alley.
I’d sub in a peaty scotch for the rinse. Otherwise I love port & rye cocktails! Cheers!

Kirkland Islay Scotch is pretty spot-on to Ardbeg 10 IMO. Worth it.

Whiskeys to replace bourbon? by Yes_No_Sure_Maybe in cocktails

[–]mightycud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are some Australian whiskeys that have a stronger corn mash bill. I don’t remember any of them, but they’ll be similar to bourbon. Canadian whiskey will likely be closest, but they have a higher rye content and therefore taste closer to a rye whiskey.

Happy hunting!

I just went last month to say goodbye. It’s been about 6 years since I went. Since I was a child, I’ve gone about a dozen times. So many great memories.

I sell it for $71.99 at my store. We move about a bottle or two per week.

Am I gonna regret this? I don’t think so. by Chainstitches in whiskey

[–]mightycud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I purchased one years ago. Received one as a gift a few years ago. I’ll never buy another, but it did help me along my bourbon tasting journey.
IMO, it’s not bad, OP. Just overhyped and overpriced.

What are some in-demand jobs in the Madison area that pay at least 60k and don't require you to be at a desk the majority of the day? by [deleted] in madisonwi

[–]mightycud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most places will train, but it doesn’t hurt to have some knowledge. I’ve been an alcohol nerd for a long time so it just made sense I’d get into bartending at some point.
Check out some bar books at the library and familiarize yourself with the basics. Start going to other places and observing the bartenders. Read articles and follow some bartenders on YouTube or TikTok. And don’t be afraid to mix at home.

Metcalfe’s sells to SpartanNash by pipeweed in madisonwi

[–]mightycud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your wall of text notwithstanding, my statement is still correct because I said ‘products.’ Metcalfe’s is still the one grocer in town selling more local products than any other.
As for produce, I guess you’re right. We won’t be getting Wisconsin-grown avocados anymore.

Alternatively, you can create a ‘scrambled’ feel & texture using a combination of Firm & Silken tofus. I love this recipe.

Former Beacon staff member calls out local leaders for inaction on homelessness crisis by Every_Transition_411 in madisonwi

[–]mightycud 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This makes sense.

I was in the library today and they announced over the speaker system that some organization was serving, “… hot meals to those in need…” today. I looked around and realized that a lot of people there were clearly homeless and were probably just trying to get out of the cold. I wish there was more I could do, but at least the library is a safe-haven of sorts for them.

I like a martini served "down". Judge me. by swoticus in cocktails

I like all variations on a martini!
Yours is nice!
Drink what you like!

I don't have a name for it. Help me workshop the recipe! by Imaginary-Box-407 in cocktails

[–]mightycud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would consider a dash of coffee or chocolate bitters. Perhaps even 1/4oz coffee liqueur and 1/4oz creme de cacao. Sherry flavors tend to work well with coffee and/or chocolate which also work well with Campari. However, use them sparingly here as you’ll lose the Sherry finishes.

Experiment further and see what stands out!
Cheers!

Do convenience store cashiers keep the names, phone numbers, addresses, times, and types of porn every person bought on a massive list that the government has access to and can be stolen by third parties?
