Duey posted:I dislike Cognac in my Sazerac, but I agree with everything else there. I feel like the heavier Demerara syrup adds something extra to it. I think I was futzing up the bitters now. From what I understand cognac was traditionally in sazeracs but I agree. I'm not a fan of the cognac

Butch Cassidy posted:You could also sqeeze in some lime for such a "cuban" kick, the drink would deserve its own name. It's not authentic unless it's real sugar coke, Cuban rum, and some cocaine mixed in. I'm going drinking this weekend. What are some good uncommon summer cocktails? I'm planning on ordering a gin hound already.

That's a good idea. This is the kind of place that would probably have a bottle of cachaca around somewhere. When I say uncommon, I mean the type of thing that would stump an average bartender, but not a good bartender.

The Hebug posted:50:50 Cognac and rye rocks for a Sazerac Hell yeah. Or even 1.5 to .5 rye to cognac is great as well. The spicy, pepperyness that the rye brings is badass... But that well rounded, glorious richness that the cognac brings is so damned good as well  Bring it the gently caress on.

I've never seen one on the menu except at a Brazilian restaurant. Maybe they are a common request, I just never ordered one anywhere else. I didn't like the one I got at the restaurant, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just shittily made. Not a very authentic restaurant.

Allantois posted:Sazerac recipe from death & co A good recipe, but I'd make a couple of minor adjustments: 1) I've switched from an absinthe wash to putting absinthe in an atomizer and giving it a spritz or two into the glass. Using the atomizer, you never really have to worry about wasting the alcohol. The atomizer usually does a good job at covering the entire glass as well. 2) Also, since you're serving in a lowball with no ice, I'd also recommend chilling your serving glass by placing ice and water in the glass, and then go about mixing in a second glass. Once you're finished with the mixing portion, toss the water/ice from the first and start with the atomizer. 3) I like doing a flamed lemon peel rather than simply doing a twist. For a drink with so few ingredients, I think it's really important to bring out those essential oils.

since my wife's pregnancy has led to fever tree being a staple in our house, I've been making a ton of gin bucks, swapping in different gin. I have some of Maine Distilling's gin which has a decidedly minty bend and it really asserts itself in the drink, which is all I can ask for in a drink that usually drowns out more subtle guns.

Any favorite recipes?? A Vitamix will make pineapple puree, and straining it will be impossible. I've developed a straightforward pineapple juicing method that's not too hard.

Well in that case I might order something else. Maybe a Corpse Reviver #2? If I don't like Maraschino cherries, should I still give an Aviation / Last Word a shot? Or maybe I'll just go with a Pimm's. I haven't had one of those in a while. Or maybe a Bronx. This is why I have to ask. I look things up and I get way too many ideas to go through.

You mean you don't like real-deal maraschino cherries or the big ugly neon red things? Either way a Last Word is a really nice drink but I prefer the variations that don't use equal parts and go a little heavier on the gin

Also maraschino liqueur doesn't taste anything like cherries.

What's a legit good brand of Cachaça? All I can ever find are 51 and Pitu, not sure they are bad necessarily though. Might be a better question for the rum thread.

Maraschino is made from marasca cherry pits. The flavor is more nutty, and not at all like the fruit. (If you want that, try some Cherry Heering.) You can get real maraschino cherries, too; they're marasca cherries soaked in maraschino. Unsurprisingly, the most commonly-available brand is Luxardo. I don't know if you'll like maraschino or not, but you should definitely give it a try. The odds are good; not liking the red fruitcake cherries already demonstrates good taste.

Yeah it takes some effort & probably a little grocery shopping but it's not really the kind of thing you can gently caress up if you follow a recipe
