"Everyone likes something different in their egg nog, I like it all."
"Light and very flavorful."
"Flavorful and festive."
"The lime-like taste of the Rangpur infused gin mixed with the garlic in the brine and olives really made for a unusual, but palatable flavor. (Rangpur are Mandarin Orange-Lemon hybrid fruits originated in Bangladesh. They have a limey taste.)"
"I whipped this up on Thanksgiving, making good use of a limited bar. Tasty without being too sweet."
"Cucumber is to Hendrick's, what Orange is to New Amsterdam."
"This is the smoothest tequila that I've ever had. This bottle came direct from Mexico in a friend's luggage. Not sure if you can buy it in the states. Gorgeous tall "Galliano"-sized red bottle."
"This gin really changes the flavor dynamic in many popular cocktails."
"I'm hung up on the gin."
"Went nicely with family brunch."
Where'd the pinkish hue come from?
I love the novelty glass. Nice picture. Very bright for a Chinese Restaurant??
This is the second one of these you uploaded. One on the rocks and one neat. Very obscure cocktail. Green Land Cafe sounds like my kind of place.
Great picture. The world needs more Galliano.
I've never seen this on tap. Nice head.
Keeping it seasonal...nice.
I have to get me some cranberry bitters. What a great take on egg nog.
I've served a bunch and I've swallowed a bunch. Great when you are under the weather. Nice picture.
I'm all over this drink in a couple of weeks.
This will be my June favorite next year. Sweet!
I must have spaced on that triple sec in addition to what was around the rim. Just bought some nice silver espolon tequila so look for a margarita soon-- will probably put that tequila itself up, it's tasty!
Yes, Nigori, unfiltered sake is that milky -- it's kind of cool and interesting and this one is sort of sweet. It doesn't have that typical sake underbite that can sometimes be sort of varnish-like...
I think a dark el presidente could be interesting, and would look pretty cool. My one question is how do you think dry vermouth would go with a black rum? Would you need to go sweet vermouth, and a really delicate Cointreau wash? That might be tricky, but interesting.
I have a flash, but it really washes out the pics... the dark and back lit photos are bizarre. Also, the flash on the phone in a bar or restaurant takes snapping pics at the table to new levels of rudeness ;). I like the lights on the sake decanter in my sake shot, it came out cool.
MixMaster, I found this brew at The Tavern Downtown, on Allyn St. In Hartford, CT. They've got 20 high end beers on tap, and about 100 in the fridge. The tap system is an imported English tap system with the sprayer to chill the glasses before pouring. They also have a solid pub menu. Not sure if you've got reason to be in H-ford, but if you do, I'd recommend the place (I'm on a contract down there, so I'm pretty well acquainted with the downtwon restaurants).
Sadly I have backfilled razzmatazz into chambord bottles when working for cheapo bar owners. I don't mind spending the extra as its an ingredient I don't use that often.
I haven't been drinking lately. But all that's about to change, my friend.
