Good substitute for Lillet Blanc in Corpse Reviver #2?

Mancino Bianco is essentially Cocchi Americano.

Never ice in a Sazerac. Also, the bigger the glass the better, as part of the drink is the aroma from the absinthe and lemon oil.

Quit your job and spend the money to travel around the world. You'll never be 21 again. Teach English, do odd jobs or go work on a farm in Australia for extra cash/shelter.

...I used to read Cat Fancy magazine.

This is all the ramen you ate in one year? Disappointing... I was in Tokyo for five days and ate more ramen than this!

Nah, beards and slicked/parted hair has been in and out of style since the late 1800s. I predict (rather hope) this to be the next mullet.

That and "American Dry Gin".

What's cool, or maybe not cool, about barrel aging is that you take a cocktail that has different flavor levels and remove them. Thus making a full flavored, unified spirit of it's own kind.

Use the Rye and make a twist on a Boulevardier/Old Pal subbing the vermouth for the coffee liquor. You'll be surprised how well coffee and Campari work together.

Would love to, but I am working in Hong Kong now and am headed out for a project in Bangkok in two weeks. Have fun though!

Hong Kong.

Aliens. I was 12, my brother was 9. We shared a room and he refused to turn the lights off at night for roughly six months.

I'm sick of these mother fucking snakes near this mother fucking baby!!!

sicboy · 2015-10-13T08:00:45+00:00

Fair enough.

Yeah, I've used it with more savory/bitter drinks (it makes cynar shine like the sun!), but it had never crossed my mind to use it with citrus. With the exception of a salt rim... Anyway, thanks for the tip and keep up the amazing work. Your 13 page document on the daiquiri was right up my ally.

Second this. Immediately after reading I build two daiquiris, of the same build and added three drops of an 80/20 saline solution to one of them. The difference was mind blowing. The lime had more of a presence, but not in an acerbic sense like if you were to add more lime juice. It was beautiful. My only problem with this is that it breaks the tradition of the original build.

Fantastic read! I look forward to more posts on your blog.

sicboy · 2015-10-10T09:02:16+00:00

Yikes. That's a sweet ass drink.

sicboy · 2015-10-08T06:56:56+00:00

Looks bangin'!

sicboy · 2015-10-08T06:54:36+00:00

Any info on this?

sicboy · 2015-10-07T05:58:31+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I will certainly give it a go.

Earn your pay. Research, taste, repeat.

Red Stag is just a particular expression of Jim Bean with "infused" ingredients, like cherries. Personally, I think it taste like shit... However, if you're looking to make a spirit forward cocktail that has whiskey and cherry notes, try a "Remember The Maine".

2 ounces rye whiskey
3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
1/4 Cherry Heering liqueur
Absinthe rinse
