  • My daughter doesn’t like it either - I find it has an affinity for pineapple, and I make tepache and also fresh pineapple juice a lot, so get a lot of mileage out of it. It was really good with Cynar in the pas de loup one too but the drink wasn’t spicy overall.

    If you never figure it out, try it in or on pineapple upside down cake, or on vanilla ice cream. Or the Pas De Loup one I tried, 2 parts mezcal to 1 part Cynar to 1/2 part Ancho Reyes, lemon and honey to taste.













  • We have a sort of mall with a few bars and the husband and I have been doing the world’s slowest bar crawl, trying all of them. I’ve ordered a whiskey sour at each.

    One asked if I wanted egg white and made an awesome shaken one.

    One mixed whiskey and sour mix just stirred, barely.

    One was expensive but pretty good.

    One used real lemon and good Japanese whiskey but again just stirred what the heck?

    I literally had one bartender tell me they were out of sour mix and didn’t know how to make one.






  • Ok, I will use yours for this one. So from:

    *_Is it cheating if I use a drink I mostly got from you and posted an earlier version of here? Lol So I’ll re-use the lemon juice. 2oz of Knob Creek Bourbon (or choose your favorite, I’m not the boss of you) 1oz of Drillaud’s raspberry liquor 1oz of lemon juice 1oz of Amaro Montenegro

    Shake with ice and pour, then use a smoke with a Cocktail smoker (I’ve found apple wood chips works really well with this).

    It’s makes for a great spring and early summer cocktail, refreshing and a bit sweet but not overly so._*

    I take the Amaro Montenegro and make an adjusted Paper Plane riff:

    2oz Evan Williams bottled-in-bond

    1oz lime juice (since lemon is out of bounds)

    1oz Amaro Montenegro

    1/2 oz Aperol, 1/2 oz Campari.

    Shake and pour into chilled coupe.

    ETA: I made it! It’s delicious!
