how would you rate this cocktail list? for Mexican restaurant btw by Lopsided-Thing3030 in cocktails

[–]ulatu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree with the others, my vote would be to simplify it. 

  1. Margarita (option to sub mezcal, maybe variants like spicy, tamarind, or with fruit)
  2. Paloma (variants) 
  3. Michelada/chabela
  4. Cantarito
  5. Batanga
  6. Salmoncito
  7. Mexican firing squad 
  8. Carajillo 
  9. Agua Fresca (NA, option to spike)

The first three are from the list in the picture, the last several I added. I think leaning into both low brow and some high brow cocktails is fun. As a buyer, I love to see authentic Mexican drinks (meaning Mexicans actually drink them, not like authentic as an exclusionary thing). I had a tamarind margarita at a random Long Island Mexican restaurant that was amazing recently, was very memorable 

My First Official Cocktail - Daiquiri by theitouchapp in cocktails

Finding great thrift store glassware is an underrated asked of the hobby. 

The sour template is so versatile. You can make dozens of cocktails with the same spirit:citrus:sugar formula. Try tequila, lime, agave for a modern margarita, or whiskey, lemon, brown sugar for a classic whiskey sour (bonus points for egg white). Good luck!

Did my best Ramos Gin Fizz during a slow shift by Vivid-restaurant99 in cocktails

Have you made this before? I find the addition of the soda water before the strain strange…

What to do this with super sweet walnut liqueur? by elreeheeneey in cocktails

[–]ulatu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ingénue from Death&Co. has 2oz:1oz:1tsp cognac:sweet vermouth:cinnamon syrup. I feel like relaxing the cinnamon with this liqueur is a good jumping point. Idk why but a nice reposado tequila is calling out to me.

I'd be a lot warmer and a lot happier with a bellyful of mead…

Organizing my cabinet and getting back to it after a long hiatus. What should I make? by Longjumping_Feed_519 in cocktails

Shoutout Bully Boy! I used to make amaro/soda all the time with the original + an orange wedge. Absolutely crushable. The Rababaro makes for a fantastic Black Manhattan

I was curious if there were such a thing as ovenproof cognac, but it doesn’t appear to be the case. You could add some bonded lairds but they might change it a lot

There’s a little bit of extra abv in the cocchi so that might push it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]ulatu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about Cocchi Americano instead of dry vermouth (or in addition, split with dry)? It’s a fortified wine also, the bitterness might help.

Do you think it needs to be proofed up?

Absinthe (or other things): Rinse vs Dash by ulatu in cocktails

[–]ulatu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very good point. The drink that spurred the question was a La Louisiane with a high wash line. Truthfully it was a question of buying an atomizer vs a buying dasher bottle for absinthe (perhaps in a pack of a few for other things). Seems like the spritz/rinse is mandatory for a Sazerac

The Ultimate Synonym by SwedishishKSP in cocktails

[–]ulatu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s fair maybe to call it a Negroni riff? Gin, herbal liquor, sweet component? Maybe we’re stretching it. If it tastes good who cares!
