Always cut back on the Campari a bit when also using Polonium.
I read some menThe Negroni saved the life of Russian dissident Aleksei Navalny who was poisoned by a nerve agent earlier this year. The poison had been put in his cocktail but...

After several attempts to enjoy the bottle of Campari I had (neat, Negroni, Boulevardier) I gave up and gave what was left to my buddy who's palate is notably different than mine. He can't stand it either - he keeps threatening to bring it and leave it in my bar when I'm not looking.The Negroni saved the life of Russian dissident Aleksei Navalny who was poisoned by a nerve agent earlier this year.

Nice. Rough measurements for each?@Hot Sauce Guy’s Chipotle Cherry hot sauce makes the perfect Bloody Mary
clamato, tomato juice, chipotle cherry hot sauce, horseradish, celery salt, fresh cracked black pepper, smoked paprika, vodka
you’re welcome
Cinnamon, honey, ginger, lemon, whiskey. Would probably work with vodka too. Go easy on the lemon or you'll need more honey. Muddle the ginger in the bottom before adding the rest. Use 2-3 fresh slices IMO.Going holiday booze shopping today. Any suggestions for a Holiday Cocktail, maybe something with only 4 or so ingredients, in the whiskey or vodka family?
I’d guess-Nice. Rough measurements for each?
Fernet is a whole different animal than Campari to me. Different flavor notes and aromatics. Color profiles also wouldn’t mesh. Fernet and Coke is awesome. Fernet neat reminds me of turpentine.seems to be a campari shortage in my neck of the words just when i decided i would try some negronis and boulevadiers at home.
The best substitute i could get was Fernet Branca. Will this make due or am i setting myself up?
Totally different. I like Fernet neat after a big dinner, in Coke, and in the Toronto cocktail:seems to be a campari shortage in my neck of the words just when i decided i would try some negronis and boulevadiers at home.

Continuing with whiskey-based cocktails: the Toronto
Rye whiskey (Pikesville) 2 oz
Fernet branca 1/4 oz
Simple syrup 1/4 oz
Orange peel garnsish
Definitely another cold weather cocktail (though we had snow this week and just hitting the 40s today so appropriate). Some other recipes I’ve seen incorporate bitters but I skipped them as Fernet is pretty bitter on its own. I thought this was very herbal with that Fernet menthol aftertaste so would probably either increase the simple syrup or replace the rye with a bourbon to give better balance on next attempt. A nice change up from my usual Manhattan-Boulevardier-Black Manhattan go tos.
Thanks. Sounds great.I’d guess-
4oz each clamato/tomato juice
2oz vodka
1 tsp hot sauce
1/2 tsp horseradish
couple shakes of celery salt
cracked pepper to taste/texture you like...I like more than most
Couple shakes of smoked paprika
I would go with Aperol as a replacement if you have it. It’ll be sweeter but I think work well.seems to be a campari shortage in my neck of the words just when i decided i would try some negronis and boulevadiers at home.

Yeah that would be my suggestion as wellI would go with Aperol as a replacement if you have it. It’ll be sweeter but I think work well.
How about a Cracker (Jack) CanuckWhatever you call a White Russian with Crown Royal Salted Caramel in place of the vodka
Little late now, but my wife likes to usually open a bottle of bubbles during the day and I'm not a big fan of champagne so I will often make it into a Champagne Cocktail with brandy, sugar, bitters and a lemon peel twist or cocktail cherry.Anyone have a favorite Christmas cocktail with standardish ingredients?
not really a cocktail, but equal parts Rumchata and Fireball make a tasty shot.Anyone have a favorite Christmas cocktail with standardish ingredients?
Maybe just anything using simple and lime/lemon/orange juice and reduce the juice ratios a bit.I have some great citrus simple syrup from making candied citrus peels for a Christmas pastry. I want to use it in a cocktail for New Years. Any suggestions?
If it is steeped from the peels maybe make a reverse limoncello? Mix it with grain alcohol and serve ice cold as an apertif.I have some great citrus simple syrup from making candied citrus peels for a Christmas pastry. I want to use it in a cocktail for New Years. Any suggestions?
Yeah, nevermind. This is a dumb idea. No way simple syrup is going to have the same level of flavor as doing an alcohol extraction.If it is steeped from the peels maybe make a reverse limoncello? Mix it with grain alcohol and serve ice cold as an apertif.
Yeah I wasn't sure this'd work. I've made limoncello before with everclear. Actually was good but too strong. Should have watered it down a touch. Threw a lot of it out, rather stupidly.Ron Swanson said:Yeah, nevermind. This is a dumb idea. No way simple syrup is going to have the same level of flavor as doing an alcohol extraction.

Not a fan of Fernet. Bought a bottle years ago for my World Cup cocktails and poured the rest down the drain once Argentina was eliminated.Made a Toronto.
2 oz. rye
1/2 oz. Fernet
1/2 oz. simple syrup
1-2 dashes Angostura bitters
Served over ice. First sip was...rough. Got better as ice melted down a bit. But still, I just don't think I'm a Fernet guy.
I’ve been slacking but doing a lot of neat whiskey. Trying to lose weight and really getting in to bourbon/rye. But I did make a variation of a Glasgow Mule - basically just the scotch and ginger beer. Pretty refreshing.you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
For which reason specifically?you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
Don't mistake my lack of posting as due to a lack of drinking.you should all be ashamed of yourselves.
I suck at the float, but I think I just need to be more patient and use a bottle pourer.Masala Daisy
1.5 tequila
0.75 lemon juice
1.0 ginger turmeric honey
.5 passionfruit tea float
Idk what I did right or wrong on the float. I did it four times and it worked perfect once, ok once, and like not really twice. I think I did the same thing all four times.
I think it was on How to Drink where I saw Greg pour it off the back of a spoon. No clue how well that works.I suck at the float, but I think I just need to be more patient and use a bottle pourer.
That's what I did! I used a bar spoon, hovered just over the top of the glass, and poured super slowly over the spoon. Like I said, one perfect, one ok, and two meh.AAABatteries said:I think it was on How to Drink where I saw Greg pour it off the back of a spoon. No clue how well that works.
correct. my issue is pouring slowly enough over the spoon. I think I just need to use a spout.AAABatteries said:I think it was on How to Drink where I saw Greg pour it off the back of a spoon. No clue how well that works.
I tried getting fancy with the Blue Curaçao, but it’s a cool color nonetheless.good candidate to try and separate the colors here.
An odd coincidence, but my wife was just shipped this exact cocktail for a virtual work function. Gotta work on my float!Masala Daisy

Nailed the float this time. Used an extra tall jigger. Came out just like the pic. The bottle cap trick is a joke though.Ha! That's how we got it too xD
I use the one Binging with Babish has to great success, sometimes muddling things in it before shaking for additional flavors like jalapeno.I’m looking for some margarita recipes. Thinking one classic, one fruity and one with maybe jalapeño. I kind find a million online but curious if any of you have one you recommend.
