I always assumed it was for price reasons. They LCBO seems to add a significant premium to anything that is overproof.

Any recommendations for relatively simple summer time cocktails. Now that the weather is nice I'm looking for some good cocktails for enjoying out on a back deck. Right now my go-to options are things like Caipirinha, pisco sour, daiquiri with St. Germaine, mint julep. Any other good drinks to add into the mix?

rxcowboy posted:On of my Peruvian supervisors gave me a bottle of Pisco today, which I had never loving heard of until it dropped in my lap. And of course I have no idea what the gently caress to do with it. A pisco sour is the best place to start with a bottle of pisco.

Anyone have any recipes designed specifically for Sotol? I have been replacing tequila with it in traditional recipes with interesting results. I'm curious to know if anyone else has had good results using it.

I want to second the idea that there are two versions of the old fashioned. I am a big fan of Difford, and he list two versions, the classic version and the US version. Old Fashioned (Classic) 2.5oz bourbon 0.5oz sugar syrup 3 dash angostura bitters Old Fashioned (US) 2 whole Maraschino cherries & syrup 1 slice Fresh orange (cut into eight segments) 2 shot Maker's Mark bourbon ⅛ shot Maraschino syrup (from cherry jar) ¼ shot Sugar syrup 2 dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters MUDDLE orange and cherries in base of shaker. Add other ingredients, SHAKE with ice and fine strain into ice-filled glass.

BrosephofArimathea posted:Your scotch section has a serious lack of Ardbeg. I recommend fixing that post haste, good chap. The current Ardbog release, if you can find it, is the best embodiment of the distillery. And Islay malts in general. This was wonderful advice. Thank you very much. I just picked up a bottle the other day.

Some people might enjoy this. Professor Cocktail's (David Montgomery) Holiday Drinks: Recipes for Mixed Drinks and More is free for a few days for the Kindle Edition. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00H1YS6EA/ Not bad for a free cocktail book.

Kenning posted:None at all! For the neophytes out there and people who will be purpose-purchasing ingredients, I recommend a juniper-forward gin, such as Tanqueray, Broker's, or Junipero (Ransom Old Tom and Hayman's Old Tom are actually more historically correct, but they're harder to find and more expensive), and a quality sweet vermouth. In descending order of sweet vermouth preference I recommend Dolin Rouge, Vya Sweet, Cinzano Rosso, and then everything else. I don't recommend Carpano Antica, since in a Martinez it will just totally clobber everything. It will be delicious, but mostly just because Carpano is itself delicious. The maraschino liqueur is not optional. Are you sure about the amount of vermouth? I have never seen it in that high a ratio compared to gin.

I have always made mine as follows: 1.5 oz. Gin 1.5 oz. Sweet Vermouth .25 oz. Luxardo Maraschino Liqueur 2 dashes Angostura Bitters I will have to give your version a try, may the best Martinez win.

Any order recommendations for which gins I should use for trying out the different recipes? I am planning on opening a new bottle Cinzano sweet vermouth for this little experiment. Citadelle Broker’s Hendrick’s Beefeater Bluecoat Gin The Botanist Sipsmith London Dry Hayman's 1850 Bols Genevere A month ago I had friends over for a gin and tonic taste tasting day. We used 8 of the gins, and Fever Tree Indian, Fever Tree Mediterranean, Q Tonic, Fentimens Tonic, and Naturally Light Free Tree Indian. We would pick either 1 gin with all of the tonics, or one tonic with all of the gins. The winning combination changed greatly from test to test.

Considering having the Martinez as the cocktail of the month went well last month, I suggest we pick an new cocktail for the month. How does a Hot Toddy sound for February?

1.5 oz. knob creek rye whiskey 1 barspoon honey 0.5 oz. fresh lemon juice 4 oz. boiling water Mix everything in a mug, garnish with a lemon wedge and cinnamon stick. Decided to try a new variation. Not my favorite, but still good in this cold weather. I am looking forward to trying one using a good bourbon or aged rum.

Any suggestions for cocktails which would be appropriate for an outdoor wedding in summer? I am looking for something that is reasonably quick and easy to make. One option I am leaning towards right now is a mojito made with mint infused simple syrup to save the bartender from having to muddle. Drinks which can be made in pitchers would also be delightful.

Kenning posted:My godmother is turning 60 soon and gonna have a big bash. I'm bringing the punch, and it's gonna be Gowanus Club Gin Punch. A fat batch of it too. That's what you should make. How long in advance can you make a punch? I am slightly afraid to trust a wedding company bartender for anything complicated, and may want to make this myself.

blowingupcasinos posted:Looking for books on a few topics: sherry in general, sherry in cocktails, kegging cocktails, and fermentation in cocktails (is this an lol one or what?), and maybe kombucha (loving hippies). Thanks. The new Death & Co cocktail book has a good number of cocktails with sherry in them. It is a good cocktail book overall as well.

I'm not sure if this is common or not, but a couple of the apple orchards near me product and sell their own apple jack. The strong apple flavor is wonderful, though the proof is between 20-30%, leaving it on the weak side. If you ever seen some at a local orchard, give it a try.

I recently got the Mastrad Purefizz, for making soda and playing around with carbonating my own cocktails. The first recipe I tried out was a modified version a Employees Only Manhattan: 1.5oz rye 1.75oz sweet vermouth 0.5oz creme de cassis 3 dash angostura bitters It turned out wonderful. I would highly recommended the recipe and the Mastrad Purefizz. It seems incredibly to carbonate nearly any cocktail with this device. My plan for the summer is to play around with carbonated drinks, the next drinks on my list to carbonate are the Aviation and Last Word. Hopefully, it goes well.

Kenning posted:Oloroso prolly. A proper Amontillado would make a somewhat drier, bite-ier cocktail, but lots of cheap "Amontillado" sherry is not very good. If you find an Oloroso for like $20-$25 it should do the trick. Thanks, I figured a PX sherry would have been too sweet, so did not know how much drier I should go on the sherry spectrum.
