Time for a cocktail! (5 Viewers)

[Mrs Poker Zombie]

0.75 oz Gin
0.75 oz absinthe
0.75 oz lemon juice
0.75 oz lillet blanc/cocchi americano/any quina liqueur

This one was made with cocchi americano but I usually make mine with Kina D’or. Using a quina liqueur imparts more of a slight cherry-orange marmalade flavor and I prefer a orange twist.

Interesting. I have all of that and it gives a method to use up some absinthe.

That is a lot of absinthe

I always make mine with lillet.

Isn't it just an absinthe rinse typically?

Edit: oh, I think you meant .75 Cointreau, not absinthe?

I usually just go 1oz each of gin, lemon, Cointreau, and lillet. Can't drink too many of those though!

This thread caught my attention and I googled the recipe. There's actually a version with .75oz of absinthe called a Corpse Reviver 3000!

Sounds... Extreme!

I bought a fifth of absinthe and I think I'll own it for a lifetime. Filled up a 4oz atomizer and it's about all I use. A rinse or spritz adds plenty of flavor!

Corpse reviver #2, #2 haha

 

[RichMahogany]

My latest creation for our spring cocktail menu.

1.0 Avion blanco
1.0 Espolon reposado
0.75 lime juice
0.5 agave
Avocado purée

Muddle 3 cucumber slices and 5-7 large basil leaves. Shake, double strain into a coupe, martini, nick and Nora, or similar vessel. Top with sprinkled Tajin

Corpse reviver #2, #2 haha

Had to try one.... I think I need a second one to know for sure if I like it.
I did an absinthe rinse vs using a dash and fresh lemon juice. Not too bad.

The pisco sour I made the other day...

and the mezcal last word that I’m currently drinking

 

[jazzV3]

Wife is in Brazil visiting family for a month, so I am bored out of my mind.
Half the poker crew was in California all week so tonight's game was cancelled.

Filling the time with a couple mezcal margaritas on the deck.
Could be worse...lol

Gonna have to try this one! Looks great.


Personally, one of my absolute go to drinks is the New Yorker:
- 2oz Bourbon Whiskey
- 1oz Fresh Lime Juice
- 2-3 dashes of Grenadine
- pinch of sugar or drizzle of simple syrup (optional to taste)

Serve in a tumbler over ice and garnish with Lime. Delicious!

Absolutely, although I prefer to add a few dashes of orange bitters

A daiquiri with lunch before work

Went to a Milwaukee Brewers game with a good friend today. Absolutely fantastic pre-game bloody mary at The Wicked Hop downtown. Shrimp, meat stick, olive, pickle, mushroom, and mozzarella whips.

I’m not usually one for drinking at work, but I’m putting the finishing touches on a restaurant that’s about to open. I’m happy to test for the bartender.

This is her twist in an Old Fashioned. Sazerac rye, 1/2 oz Johnny Walker, 1/2 oz Licor 43, simple syrup, Angostura bitters, and a drop of pine needle oil. Really interesting.

 

[Jeff]

I didn’t know pine needle oil was something.

 

[Beakertwang]

Neither did I. A lot of interesting aromas happening. Too much simple syrup for my liking, but I didn’t mind it. I still prefer my old fashioned old fashioned.

Is Licor 43 already sweet? Sounds interesting but not sure the pine oil wouldn't be too over powering.

I believe Licor 43 is sweet. I had never heard of it before. I probably would have like the whole concoction more if she had left out the simple syrup.

The pine needle oil wasn’t overpowering, but it did add some interesting aroma as I wasn’t sipping.

Saturday evening cocktails from this past weekend:

I imagine to take the place of the absinthe rinse?

You’re thinking of a sazerac, this was a twist on an old fashioned

It's a pretty far cry from a Sazerac given the use of Scotch, ango bitters, and Licor 43... Although I guess some Saz recipes call for half ango/peychauds and half rye/cognac. So maybe it's more of a Saz variation after all.

I think it is an obvious attempt at a variation. I’ve been to a few bars in different cities including NOLA that use half rye and cognac as a nod to history being the original drink was cognac. I’ve also seen both peychauds and ango used in Sazeracs in NOLA too. I have no idea what Licor 43 tastes like though.

In any event here is the “Doctors Orders” I had at the Dead Rabbit last night in NYC. Delicious!
