I assume it's something specific to carbonating cocktails, but I'm confused about lime juice being mentioned as an ingredient in a Negroni and everyone just accepting it. Maybe I just don't know enough about Negronis.

I just made myself a Jungle Bird, which I remember being mentioned in this thread a while back. Wow! I love this drink! Beautiful color, lovely texture, and the Campari and lime/pineapple juices complement each other perfectly. I will definitely be making this one again. No picture because my countertop's a mess.

Waltzing Along posted:Which recipe? 4 oz of PJ or the one with a lot less? A lot less. Here's what I used: 1.5oz rum .75oz campari 1.5oz pineapple juice .5oz lime juice .5oz maple syrup The rum I used was Appleton Estate Signature Blend (it's what I had. Open to suggestions for a better dark rum for mixing). Data Graham posted:I discovered that there is such a thing as pink pineapple, and I bought one today. That website sure lays it on thick with the "potential health benefits".

It wasn't the recipe I ended up using, but the website that made me go "Jungle Bird, huh? I remember hearing those are good" suggested the maple syrup sub, and I find that rum and maple go well together, so that's what I did. I can try more than doubling the pineapple, but I tend to prefer my drinks shorter and more spirit-forward. The recipe I used tasted very balanced to my palate. Edit: prayer group posted:Maybe it's just the style around here but I do prefer a shorter drink with less juice, generally speaking.

If you have bourbon, you have both whiskey and bourbon, since bourbon is a type of whiskey. I like to keep both rye and bourbon on hand since drinks will usually prefer one or the other.

So I recently got myself a bottle of Creme de Violette to try my hand at an Aviation. I like the liqueur, but I don't like Aviations enough to finish off the bottle any time soon. Any suggestions for drinks to try, preferably not sours? I'm pretty sure a similar question was asked before on this thread, but it was a while back.

Both of those look delicious, thanks! I'm a little gun-shy opening a new bottle of vermouth--I don't actually drink all that often, and my spouse doesn't drink at all. Sweet vermouth gets a pass because I love Manhattans, Negronis, and Boulevardiers. The Faded Gentleman, on the other hand, has a few ingredients I don't have but wouldn't mind picking up. Gran Classico at least sounds like exactly what I wish Campari was, and that bottle is almost empty. In simple drinks, I've almost entirely switched from Old-Fashoneds to Manhattans as my go-to. Dark 'n Stormy when I feel like something fizzy.

ultrafilter posted:The second was called a Rosina Leckermaul and the specific ingredients are listed as Zaya Dark Rum, Graham’s Six Grapes Port, and Lillet Blanc. I'd guess that Scythe has it backward, though, and the rum/port/lillet drink was the one served in a coupe. Nothing more to add but that they both seem rather dessert-y, and serving such an alcohol-heavy drink up in a highball glass seems weird to me, a cocktail newbie.

I'll try throwing some stuff I have together to see if the formula holds up. I don't have anything I'd consider an herbal liqueur, but I have absinthe. I could use 1/4 ounce and add simple and water to simulate the classic way to serve it. Do y'all think it would work as a substitute? Maybe different ratios? For a base, I'm thinking Roku gin. My liquor cabinet is mostly whiskey, and I'd rather add more botanicals. Lime for the citrus, because I have limes. Maraschino for similar reasons. If it works, I'll call it The Green Cherry (unless that's already taken). I'll let you know this weekend how it goes. (Yes, I know my liquor cabinet is pretty threadbare. I mostly drink Old Fashioneds, Manhattans, and Sazeracs, and if I want to try something else I add a bottle or two.)

Let's see if you still say that after my monstrosity, the "My word!" - 1oz Roku gin - 1oz Creme de Violette - 1oz "Absinthe mix" (1 part absinthe, 1 part rich simple, 2 parts water) - 1oz lime juice The absinthe gets a little lost, if you can believe it, between the Violette and the lime. I like it, but I might have terrible taste. Okay, I lied. The absinthe is very present, but the Violette and lime definitely hold their own.

bloody ghost titty posted:For my money, it could be. I have been working up an article about American regional sodas and their prohibition-era wink and a nod towards not being mixers, and I'm delighted to say that the original formulation of Mountain Dew makes a great whiskey soda. There's one last semi-independent bottler in Western NC that still makes Dr Pepper and Mountain Dew with cane sugar, and it's not worth paying shipping necessarily but cool as hell if you're passing through Boone or Johnson City. They're not doing throwback Mountain Dew anymore? I don't drink sugary soda anymore (I'll make an exception for a Dark and Stormy), but I remember the cane sugar making a huge difference in Dew that it didn't seem to in Mexican Coke and throwback Dr Pepper.

The site hides all user comments except for one, and that one basically says "Thanks everybody in the comments for convincing me not to try this at home!" A ringing endorsement.
