I'll have to give those cherries a try. Luxardo cherries are literally $200 for the small jar on amazon here.


I made a mai tai riff last night.

2oz Whistlepig Piggyback rye
1oz Brown sugar Orgeat
1oz Lime Juice
1/2oz grapefruit juice
1/2oz lemon juice
2 dashes angostura bitters
2 dashes aztec chocolate bitters


It came together beautifully and the chocolate bitters really tied it all together

yeah, hard pass.  If you can get these Amarena Fabbri, I think you will enjoy them.  I like them better than the Luxardo.

Love Mai Tais and Mai Tai riffs and this is probably my new favorite.

Swap Aperol in for the Campari if you lean a little more towards sweet than bitter.

BITTER MAI TAI - an interesting twist on a classic tiki cocktail


Also, wtf Australia? $100 for Smith and Cross? Poor bastards.

When I started my IG cocktail page I never posted the ingredients, which I later regretted when I'd try to remember wtf I did with a drink. Ingredients and portions are key.

It's fun to see some of the wild stuff people post.

Anyone have a good recipe for an espresso martini? My wife had one over the weekend she really liked, going to try to perfect one.

I tried it using Sumatra coffee beans for the espresso, but I think the coffee flavor was a little too upfront.

I've done this one a few times and my wife likes it. I don't drink coffee so I can't personally comment

Not as fancy as some of y'all.  But I just had my "OMG" Manhattan.  I went to total wine yesterday ( I feel dirty.  Fuck David Trone) because I had to drop my daughter off at a go kart track for a birthday party.  It was my first time at one.  HOLY SHIT, it's like Costco of booze.  Anyway, I walked out with my ususal Wild Turkey 101 and a bunch of other stuff I normally can't find.  SOOOO....I just made my usual Manhattan (my fave cocktail), but with.....

2 shots Wild Turkey
1 shot Carpano Antica Formula
Scrappy's chocolate bitters.

No cherry....I'm doing Keto.

OMG, the Carpano and chocolate bitters make the biggest difference.  Unbelieveable.

Dolin is great too, but there's some special about Antica. I've tried 6-7 different sweet vermouth and nothing comes close.

Similar to my go to recipe except I make my own Demerara syrup and use 1/2 per 4oz pour. And I make my own clear ice cut to size from a solid block ….

Great Thread suggestion

I like my Old Fashioned Cocktail's on the Sweeter side.  If it's too sweet for you, cut back on the simple syrup, but if using a spicy Rye (Bulleit Single Barrel), then it balances well.

Old Fashioned
2 oz. Bourbon
1 oz. Simple Syrup
1 tsp. water
3 Dashes Angostura Bitters
Large Rock
Express orange Peel over Rock and around rim (place in glass)
Add Maraschino Cherry of your choice

Buffalo Bowtie
1.5 oz Buffalo Trace Bourbon
1 oz White Peach Syrup
Pour over ice and top with Ginger Ale
Garnish with Lime or Orange

Whiskey Sour
4 oz Sweet and Sour Mix  (I use Agalima Organic)
1.5 oz whiskey (I use bourbons)
1.5 oz Amaretto (I use Luxardo)

Fill shaker with 1/2 Cup of ice along with above ingredients, shake well and strain into rock glass filled with ice.  Garnish with a cherry

Note* - These Whiskey sours go back way to easy, and I don't like having to get back up again and again, so I automatically double the recipe and use a frozen 16oz beer mug out of my freezer for my glass

How dare you use a sweet and sour mix….??

Use an egg white , simple syrup and fresh squeezed lemon, dry shake with your preferred bourbon.

Yeah I'm not sure why I wrote 1/2oz. That would be insane. It's more like a barspoon.

Also yeah. I love fresh made ice

Nice!  Now, here's a question; what are some go-to/gotta have bitters?  I've always loved bitters and I always like a hefty dose in my Manhattans.  I like Angostura, Scrappy's Chocolate, and Fee Bros Orange.  I have some Peychaud but barely ever use it.  Any other recommendations?
Link Posted: 8/22/2022 12:41:48 AM EDT

Bitter Truth's Bogart's Bitters are probably my favorite. Such a big flavor, use in place of Angostura.

I use orange and lemon bitters a lot. Lemon for martinis.

Chocolate is good for mezcal old fashioneds.

I just ordered some lime bitters so that should be fun.


Peychaud's I use all the time because I love a good Sazerac or Vieux Carre.

Really digging a couple bitters made by the Jeptha Creed distillery. Walnut and Strawberry Ginger. Use walnut in place of Angostura and the Strawberry Ginger is great in a lot of gin cocktails.
