  1. This is a great whisky indeed. Also, it pairs well with a dark chocolate dessert 😉
  2. well, it seems that I did not use the proper amaro once again (it is Difford's fault this time 😝) Sam Ross's recipe calls for ' Nonino Quintessentia amaro ' which I guess should be less sweet than montenegro
  3. Paper Plane It is supposed to be lemon juice instead of lime but I didn't get some at this moment. The recipe calls for equal parts but I put a little bit more of citrus and it was still too sweet, had to add 2 ice cube in the glass 😅 Also, I took the opportunity to try Montenegro neat and wow that was something ! I definitely wasn't expecting this taste 😁 a mix of a more conventional maro and some chemical soda but it was actually quite good haha
  4. Cherry and apricot, wow Although this ratio seems to give you quite a sweet drink. I think reducing the liqueur a bit would get something more balanced.
  5. Wow that's an audacious recipe, I would have never imagined mixing smith and cross with green chartreuse. And to add ginger to that 😮 I really can't imagine how this would taste. Ok now I have got to buy ginger liqueur 😩
  6. The Martinez is probably my favorite cocktail. I wanted to give it a try a twist with 'rhum agricole' and it was quite tasty. It was too sweet though, I used the 2 parts vermouth and 1 part gin recipe. Got to try it again with equal parts.
  7. I initially wanted to post this one on the cucumber drinks topic - where I saw your Cobble Hill - but got mixed up I was so sure that the recipe called for Averna I noticed after that you used Montenegro instead of Averna An yet, I bought both bottles this summer in Italy so I could have done it right, next time This version was quite tasty though And to be honest, I don't even know how Montenegro actually taste. I have tried averna on the rocks last year and I thought it was pretty good.
  8. Made this a few days ago, à smoky manhattan twist The Meat Hook 1,5 oz of Rittenhouse 100 (I used Bullet) 5/6 oz of Punt e Mes (I used noilly prat) 1/3 oz of Ardbeg 10 (I used Laphroaig 10) 1 bsp of maraschino
  9. Cobble Hill A really refreshing Manhattan twist
  10. funny, martinez for me yesterday night
  11. I had to try it! Twist of the Bijou, an old one that I am fond of, this was definitely not a disappointment, love it!
  12. I think that this one is actually an apricot liqueur even if it has the name brandy in it (25% ABV and it is pretty sweet). The word 'brandy' is specific to the US if I am not wrong.
  13. Finally got to try the famous Flor de Jerez ! I have to say I'm a little dissappointed. It is really good don't get me wrong but I guess I expected it to be 'funkier' Maybe I'll try this with S&C
  14. never tried those room temperature cocktails. Have to try this one !
  15. does it really cost 30 bucks a bottle in the US ?
  16. my last order I usually have dolin for sweet vermouth but I'd wanted to try the Noilly. I also took Lustau out of curiosity. Amontillado and Manzanilla are a first for me. I'm finally going to try the Joaquin Simo's Flor de Jerez ! For the rye, I always get the rittenhouse when I find it, hope the bulleit won't disappoint me
  17. This one made me cry
  18. if you have others recipes, do not hesitate to post them I posted on the 'fancy mocktails' thread one year ago but didn't get any answer maybe I'll try it here :
  19. I found those recipes a few weeks ago https://www.supercall.com/recipe/salted-rosemary-paloma https://www.supercall.com/recipe/this-mocktail-features-turmeric-cilantro-and-pineapple they seem quite interesting, really need to try them
  20. @FrogPrincesseI bought it from an aromatherapy shop I guess its viscosity is not that extreme afterall and it is just that I was not used to see something like that it's pretty much as the gif at the end of this article shows https://cocktailgeni.us/2015/04/23/gum-gomme-syrup-the-easy-way/ thanks
  21. I made my first batch of gum syrup 2-3 weeks ago using Morganthaler's recipe so much darker. Anyway, the color is not really a problem. The texture however is reaaaaaally well... "gummy". I mean, if I have to empty my half a liter bottle (same as yours frogprincess), I guess it would take more than a whole minute to do so. Then, I asked myself if it is supposed to be that thick ?
  22. Indeed, I saw the users' comments but not the note. Thanks.
  23. I really would like to try this one http://www.kindredcocktails.com/cocktail/campari-swizzle it asks for Chinato. Can I substitute it with something else? Maybe a mix of vermouth and suze?
  24. Neisson 15 or even 21 year old are much more expensive and some vintage single cask can also be pretty costly too
  25. wow that's... green
