Cincinnati area $77 state controlled price, had about ten bottles of green and six bottles of yellow. First time trying it... I like it. Probably will never buy another bottle if it cost $97 though.

The Wine List in West Chester. You can use the Ohio liquor control website ohlq.com to check availability for any store/bottle in the state.

8 days waiting time for Élixir Végétal, but the other two are out of stock for mystery amounts of time. Worth getting or tough it out? I’ve heard it’s intense which is fine, but apparently kinda bleh for mixing with?

Was loving around with leftover stuff in my fridge and bar and find a nice combination - umeshu, gin, and averna with a splash of soda water. Apparently averna and umeshu with rye is a "Geisha Manhattan"? Although that sounds more like a Japanese Boulevardier, maybe a "Tokyo Drift"?

I'm gonna give the "guy surrounded by swords" meme opinion, I made a nuke tonight too and I felt the Chartreuse almost entirely overpowered both the falernum and the rum funk gonna try tomorrow with maybe 2/3oz instead of 3/4 of the green stuff

first time I drank chartreuse straight was also the only time I've ever blacked out so it's tough to give that another shot lol (in its defense there was also copious amounts of arak going around)

Hey for once the OHLQ didn't lie to me and I found a Chartreuse locally. Score. There were two bottles, I only bought one because I am saintly and generous of spirit. Giving to my fellow man. Everyone should be super impressed with my selflessness.

I’ve found if you reverse the lemon and orange specs in the original Fogg Cutter it’s actually a good drink. Other fine tuning of adding 1/4oz simple and swapping the brandy for Pisco pretty much make this a polished recipe, kind of like a clear spirit version of a Mai Tai but with lemon instead of lime and orange juice instead of orange liqueur. Edit: This was meant to be in response to the guy asking for high octane drinks that don’t suck due to it having 3.5oz of spirits and a sherry float. I forgot to quote him though because I’ve been drinking Foggy Cutters tonedef131 fucked around with this message at 01:12 on Apr 20, 2024 |

Just made a double Jungle Bird and it's delightful. Might want to knock the demerara syrup down to .75 to be honest. Funk shines, but is not overpowering. Some weird chocolate notes at the end too. *Super* fruit forward and sweet. Would not mind drinking this on a beach. 2oz Appleton 15 2oz Smith & Cross 1.5oz St. Agrestis Inferno Bitter 3oz Pineapple juice .50oz Fresh lime juice .50oz Leopold Sour Lime Cordial 1oz demerara syrup I think going forward, I'm going to split the lime juice and the lime cordial 50/50.

The Wine List in West Chester was the Cincinnati-area one confirmed to have some, I didn't go there. OHLQ has a few other places in Cincinnati that claim to have supply. I got mine at Centerville Liquor and Wine.

Looking at margarita recipes and a lot of them call for agave nectar. What kind of sugar syrup should I sub there? Is a double syrup the same sugar level as agave nectar?

Agave nectar is sweeter than 1:1 simple.

If you have agave and want to make a Tommy's marg, great - but why sub for agave when you could make a traditional marg with orange liqueur?

Chemmy posted:Looking at margarita recipes and a lot of them call for agave nectar. What kind of sugar syrup should I sub there? Is a double syrup the same sugar level as agave nectar? A traditional margarita does not use agave nectar. I make mine 2 oz tequila, 3/4 dry curacao, 3/4 lime, pinch of salt in the shaker. Sometimes I add just a touch of simple syrup (like a barspoon). Tommy's margarita is pretty different, it's more of a tequila daiquiri and you'll need agave nectar for that. If I were substituting I'd use honey instead of simple, it's a lot closer to the agave nectar flavor. A lot of margarita recipes are very sweet because standard restaurant cocktails tend to be way unbalanced in the sweet direction. It sounds like you haven't made margaritas at home before, so my suggestion is make it the traditional way and then adjust to your preference. If you like a sweet-rear end margarita go for it but don't start there.

I wanted to try this and don’t like sweet drinks so I’m not buying agave syrup to put 1/4oz in a drink. Honey’s an interesting idea, I just don’t want to swap something in and have it be over sweet. https://punchdrink.com/recipes/christine-wisemans-margarita/ TengenNewsEditor posted:If you have agave and want to make a Tommy's marg, great - but why sub for agave when you could make a traditional marg with orange liqueur? Tommy’s is my normal go to, although normally in the 4:2:1 spec I go a little lighter on the sweetener. Despite having cointreau, gran marnier, dry curaçao and numerous other cheaper orange liqueurs I’ve never made a margarita at home with them that I liked.
