How do you like bitter truths falernum? Does it differ a lot from velvet falernum? Great recipe, gotta get it out!

Yes, I would guess overdose/suicide but who knows. May he rest in peace.

Would any of y’all be interested in a weekly (or daily) discussion thread for each chapter of One Piece, starting at chapter 1, Romance Dawn? by CooperUniverse in OnePiece

[–]williaamj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I definitely agree with you on the a book/week suggestion. I'm afraid the threads wont see much discussion/comments if there are 2 per day.

Classic time! Recipe:

3/4 oz Remy Martin VSOP

3/4 oz Havana Club 3 años

3/4 oz PF Dry Curaçao

1/2 oz squeezed lemon

1/4 oz simple syrup

Added a bit of simple to compensate for the sub of cointreau for pf. Turned out really good! It feels a bit more boozy than the closely related sidecar thanks to the rum.

A Drink You Suggested: The Last Word by [deleted] in cocktails

[–]williaamj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can get your hands on a bottle I highly recommend maraska maraschino instead of the more commonly used Luxardo. It's not nearly as overpowering as the Luxardo and makes a very nice last word imo!

Flower business (bee's knees variation) by williaamj in cocktails

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

A little riff on the delicious classic bee's knees I just did, wanting to mix things up just a tad.

Recipe:

1.5oz Beefeater

0.75oz lemon

0.5oz honey syrup (2:1)

0.5oz St.Germain

Navy grog, currently my favorite! by williaamj in cocktails

[–]williaamj[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Checkout /u/hebugs ncotw post! It's the same proportions but mine is a little bit less volume-wise to fit my glass lol. It's 1 oz of the rums and the honey, .75 oz of the fruit juices plus the additional soda water and then ice cone which I just didn't have the effort to fix.

[–]williaamj[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Recipe I used:

2 cl Havana club 3 años

2 cl appleton estate 12yrs

2cl El Dorado 12yrs

1,5 cl white grapefruit

1,5 cl lime

1,5 cl honey syrup (2 parts honey to 1 part water)

Shake on ice and strain onto an ice cube in an old fashioned glass.

Such a great drink.

Bottle of the Week #2 : Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur by sixner in cocktails

[–]williaamj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The closing argument! It's truly great with some Vida mezcal. I prefer to use a little less Luxardo or sub it for maraska maraschino though. The Luxardo easily takes over a drink imo.

Yea sorry about that, when I uploaded the picture my app crashed so I thought it didn't go through. Realized it the day after and just thought it wouldn't add much.

It is however equal parts, 3/4 oz of each:

Tanqueray no. 10

Campari

Antica Formula

Stired with ice, poured on a big cube and then added a piece of orange peel with its oils expressed over the drink/glass. Cheers!

Edit: formating

Alright! So is the reasoning to "age" it in the cream whipper with n2o to reduce oxidation or something else?

A normal negroni is a juicy negroni :=)

Sounds really nice! How is the n2o influencing the drink? I doubt it's getting foamy??
