What in the world! I love this idea, it reminds me of something I saw in an Aviary book with popcorn-infused whiskey.

I find that name to be write funny. Looks good!

That looks great, regardless of the color!

This one is saved for next time I get port; it looks delicious!

The bitters are so good. It gives a drink some heat, but somehow not the same spice as some of the other spicy bitters on the market (some tiki ones, I have a habanero one that’s pretty good). It’s more warm and full-bodied I think.

Aside: I love mapo tofu. It’s one of my go to crowd pleaser recipes, and I can make it as hot as I please (I do not live in a spice tolerant place 😩)

I didn’t make the bitters, but I’d imagine you could soak roughly cracked peppercorns in some neutral high-proof spirit for a week and end up with something tasty! Here’s what I was using: https://www.dashfire.us/cocktailbitters

I love the ingredients list, and I’m really into the idea here! Gotta say, though, that color is not very appealing 😁

Thanks; I was thinking of fall colors.

Whenever I make a dish with chickpeas I just strain out the liquid and save it! Occasionally it happens the other way if I have a hankering for an egg-style cocktail 😉

I haven’t ever noticed a change in flavor from using aquafaba, and I’ve made cocktails using a handful of different chickpea brands. It seems to me to be pretty neutral.

Looks great from here!

Still nursing that green chartreuse, I see! Here’s mine; relegated to the basement but plenty spacious:

It’s not looking good for harry welty.

Hey, if you like what you’re drinking you’re doing it right!

I love how this is literally a topographic map!

Bénédictine is really sweet with some herbal notes, so you’re right: not peaty! I used a blended scotch with medium smoky notes, but I think you have a lot of flexibility with scotches here to get different flavors.

I haven’t run out yet, so I don’t have any first-hand suggestions! But I found this article to be interesting, I think I originally found it after I read a times article about the monks cutting back production. I’d be curious to hear how any of them are if people have tried!

Yes! That’s a great one.

Good call out, I should have mentioned the garnish; I decorate with that thinly sliced lime round, just because I think it’s cute! It’s not big enough to squeeze or really change the acidity of the drink, it’s just cut super thin so it floats on top.
