For a gin and tonic I try to pour the tonic from high up, give it some momentum to mix things. Not sure how well that’d work in a Collins.

When I make corpse reviver #2s I just throw some absinthe in a coupe and swirl it before pouring the rest in. Don’t fill the glass and throw absinthe away.

Sir Lemming posted:Oh snap I need to try this. I've been keeping Montenegro around to make Paper Planes for my wife (I can't find Nonino anywhere), and she hates mezcal but I sure don't. Montenegro is better in a paper plane than nonino imo.

I got a bag of frozen passion fruit cubes at Whole Foods and blended them with a little water. Then I portioned and froze the purée. Worked great.

If you’ve never done Campari, Aperol is similar and the Paper Plane is a wonderful cocktail. 1oz. Bourbon (I use Bulleit) 1oz. Amaro Montenegro (Amaro Nonino is traditional) 1oz. Aperol 1oz. Lemon juice Shake with ice, strain and serve up.

Strange Matter posted:I'm pretty sure my Good Liquor Store doesn't sell Nonino but it definitely has Amaro Montenegro, on account of it being in a bottle that looks like a genie should pop out of it. How interchangeable are Amaros when it comes to mixed drinks? I prefer Amaro Montenegro to Nonino in a paper plane.

Mr. Wiggles posted:I've got a Portuguese lemon here in Vegas, makes entirely too much fruit. I use soooooo much lemon juice in cocktails. Sometimes I get two crops! I’m in zone 9, in an area traditionally used as citrus orchards, and my extremely mature lemon tree basically never stops. At all times of the year with few exceptions there’s ripe lemons, unripe little guys and new flowers with buds.

Alucard posted:Low brow cocktail question for the group - if I make negronis and boulevardiers with stuff like tanqueray and bulleit rye, is it really a huge step up shelling out for luxardo cherries instead of just the grocery store Maraschinos? The Luxardo cherries are completely different to the lovely red grocery store cherries. They’re expensive though so “worth it” is up to you.

JUST MAKING CHILI posted:I didn't top it with chartreuse whipped cream, but the recipe makes me want to buy a whipped cream canister. A restaurant chain in Hawaii (Monkeypod) serves mai tais with a lilikoi (passionfruit) foam on top (side away from gravity). I spent a lot of time working on duplicating their foam and was mostly ok with the results. I’m in Hawaii right now and went back for one and my foam was better than theirs. Get a whipped cream charger they’re fun.

Penicillins are great, but most people use cheaper blended scotch in them and then float or atomize something fancier on top. I use Johnny black and spray Laphroiag on top.

It's literally impossible to stock Nonino sometimes and it's about the best substitute you can get.
