I tried a Vieux Carre with cynar swapped for the sweet vermouth. It was very vegetal and bitter. So I tried again.

Stirred on ice:

1oz cognac, 1oz rye, 1/2oz cynar, 1/2 oz sweet vermouth, 1/4 oz cointreau

Poured on a cube with an express orange peel.

Its pretty good. I’m a fan of cutting rye back 50% with cognac, in a lot of cocktails. I’d run out of orange bitter but 1/4oz cointreau is a decent replacement in this context. A little spicy. Very herbal and bitter. And orange to round it out.

You are talking Celsius while the meme is likely referring to F (you can tell because Obama)

Good example. Obsidian is apparently 70% silica. Iron is apparently what makes it black in color. If it’s thin enough, it is translucent.

If you cool pure silica slowly enough, with impurities to cause seeding, you will get tons of crystals, not a single glass, that won’t be transparent.

It’s the cooling of silica (really, any material) that makes it a glass, and even then, transparency in the visual wavelength is not automatically certain.

Yes, this is of course an April Fools post. I thought I’d see more on the internet today than I have. Either way, wanted to get mine out early. Yes, I have had the rat long shot. It’s as competitively vile as you might imagine. Fortunately, the cup is just filled with coke in this case, I didn’t waste the obscure booze just for the photo OP. Have a good April every!

Thank you for actually reading my comment

Yes, I’ve just never listened to metal in South Africa.

I’m not into metal. It’s just interesting how 150 of them fit expectations and a handful don’t. I’m not gate keeping.

I’m not a metal fan and I’m not attempting to gate keep. As an outsider, it is interesting how many many many popular metal bands fit the expectation and yet a few do not fit that expectation.

Definitely confused by some names. Looking at you South Africa. Also, Rata Blanca? Really? Parkway Drive? Baby Metal? 😂

Edit: I’m not a metal fan and not attempting to gate keep. As an outsider, it’s definitely notable that almost all the bands have names that meet expectations and a couple certainly do not.

Any whiskey drink with Irish whiskey and a Guinness topper had been on my mind but I decided against buying more whiskey just for this context

Just pop a bike rack on your back plates and you are good to go.

Honey is definitely my favorite addition to hot, black coffee. A shake of cinnamon or nutmeg is also very good.

Taking inspiration from cocktails? An Expressed orange peel in your coffee will blow your mind. Chocolate, walnut, orange, or some other compatible cocktail bitters will also amp up some coffee.

I think the post makes a point important in modern capitalism: people will create “value” for free because they can, they care, they want to, it’s a challenge. Capital and/or the threat of starvation is not actually always necessary for people to be “productive”. Ego, boredom, altruism, adventure, these are also traits of humanity besides survival and greed.

Off topic, but isn’t disney going to sue you to hell and back for profiting off their venm diagram mouse logo thing?

Nice. Make it downtown to the museum on the mall?

Yeah averna is licorice and maybe… Chocolate?

Citrus and clove sounds like it would make the perfect winter drink

What does Montenegro taste like? I don’t think I have been able to try it outside of a cocktail. But it seems pretty similar to averna? You can’t go wrong with a black Manhattan

Oh nice I’ll have to try this one
