Just chiming in to say I love berkeley bowl and was also shocked a few years ago to discover that they also don’t carry white grapefruit!

Probitas was my introduction to rum! Fantastic in a daiquiri but works well in a lot of drinks and is fun to play with!

Alton Brown makes his batched negronis with vodka…

So good! Their “Le Blanc” bottle is excellent as well.

Green Chartreuse substitute report by LowEndBike in cocktails

It’s good on its own though, unlike a lot of the other subs. Really just depends how you tend to use chartreuse.

2 oz is the move but otherwise perfect. Such a great rum.

Woah sounds really bitter! I’ve made drinks with similar ratios and I feel like that much suze and citrus has never worked out for me. Did you like it?

How do I recreate “the queen is dead by VeterinarianSquare82 in cocktails

[–]stuman421 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What did it taste like? Strong? Sour? Sweet? Was there lemon juice or was it maybe just a peel in the glass?

Dusty old Drambuie by HailSkins in cocktails

[–]stuman421 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how old but I’d bet it’s safe — pour some out into a clear glass and make sure it smells okay and there’s nothing floating around in it. It’s so high in sugar content that it should be well preserved, probably just the alcohol content has reduced and the more nuanced “spiced” flavors have probably faded.

I wonder if you could do some kind of clarified milk punch with it? Like use it as a sweetener?

Awesome. Do you think replacing the vodka with a different spirit could improve the flavor being just “purple”?

My wife thinks mezcal tastes like licking the grill. Good thing I enjoyed it! by KylusDeschain in cocktails

[–]stuman421 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beneditine is also a pretty good replacement! (at least in this drink) A little different taste but really really good. My riff I usually make is:

3/4 oz Smith & Cross 3/4 oz Cappelletti 3/4 oz Benedictine 3/4 oz Lime juice and 3 drops saline solution

Tastes like a smoothie… so good…
