Honestly the logistics would bring it up to around $80-85 with packing materials and shipping but if anyone is that desperate i could grab a bottle or 2 for you It's a wegmans in new jersey I didn't grab any because I have a 2/3 full of Green and I spent way too much on other booze tonight (re-up on Fernet, Goslings and Smith & Cross, bottle of Plantation OFTD, bottle of Madeira...) In addition to the above I planned a bit of a sneaky move - my buddy's birthday is Saturday and I got him a bottle of El Dorado 15....I also grabbed myself a bottle of 12, and am gonna bring that, plus what's left of my 5, and have a nice little tasting

I miss Wegmans so much. Haven't been able to find Chartreuse for less than $90 for a while in LA -- but a friend just gifted me a barely opened big bottle of green that he got as a gag wedding gift like 8 years ago. Still tastes great!

It’s about $60 here in New Orleans, not always available but more often than not.

Bitter Giuseppe is one of my favs so I'm already convinced Cynar + Sweet Vermouth is a winning combo. And I'm not usually a huge fan of Carpano Antica but it's really good with Cynar.

I don't mind the bright bitter of Campari, but that deep dark bitter you get from Cynar can't be beat. Next try it with a high proof whiskey and Cynar 70. What vermouth did you use? I gravitate towards Punt e Mes for mine. Carpano Antica gets too sweet if I don't have the higher proof stuff.

So good and not overly sweet like carpano has gotten for me. Also did Manhattans with Jack Daniel's Rye, Noilly Prat vermouth, and Aztec chocolate bitters. So good.

cocchi has that amazing chocolate taste going for it, it's a situational call but overall I think I like it better than carpano antica

We just this week put a cynar / vermouth drink on the menu and people are loving it. It's a sort 4th regiment/toronto type thing: 345th 50ml Rye Whiskey 25ml Sweet vermouth 20ml cynar 2ml (1 barspoon ) maple syrup 1 dash ango 1 dash celery 1 dash orange Long stir, up, orange twist. We use WT101 rye but any low-rye mashbill rye will work

Tonight I drank a Bienvenidos 1.5 oz Del Maguey Vida mezcal .75 oz Kahlua .75 oz fresh lime juice Shaken and double strained into a chilled old fashioned glass. I’ve read that this is very difficult to balance, but this mixed up nicely. Could have gone with an a ounce of Kahlua, it kinda gets lost against the lime. Good drink, would recommend.

Huh. Empirical Spirits was founded by Noma alumni and they just announced they’re moving to Brooklyn. Iy looks like they’re using a rotovap to make their infused liquors, which is pretty awesome Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 21:15 on Apr 4, 2023 |

1-1.5 cups. 8-12 oz. In that area. 13 would be big but not overly so.

Ohio goons, Ohio has delisted both Angostura 5 and 1919 rums, so now is your last chance to buy them in-state. They knocked the prices down to $16 and $27 dollars respectively

Passoã is the definitive (or at least trendy) passionfruit liqueur and it shows up in a number of recipes.

Mission Wine & Liquor didn’t have mango, but they had several other flavors. I settled on peach, if it’s good I think I’ll try getting some of the other flavors too

The Plum one sounds like a floral amaretto. Giffard is a safe bet across the board. They have a liqueur lineup and a creme lineup. The bottles that look like that are cremes - richer, sweeter, lower ABV. Absolutely delicious. I use their abricot de roussillon liqueur whenever I can, especially in the warmer months

Yea the liqueur lineup has the simple white label Edit: looks like I’m talking about their “premium” liqueurs. They have regular and cremes in the bottle that you have. And syrups etc - their orgeat makes a fine Mai Tai The Maestro fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Apr 7, 2023 |

 Welp this is… the cocktail equivalent of taking off your date’s bra to find paper towels in there (or your date’s pants to find he filled his pants with a couple socks) It’s a whole lot of foam that looks awesome when you’re serving it but very unsatisfying to actually drink, and gross looking if you trying to flatten the foam by mixing the straw around I might adjust it so there’s more actual liquid to drink and less head Edit: okay, the Ramos gin fizz, which was the inspiration for the Melona bar, has a lot more drink and much smaller head. Will need to experiment with adjustments.
