#Mezcal last word ftw
(With 3 drops of luxardo marascino cherry syrup and a ½ tsp of agave nectar - after it felt a little too tart and bracing)

Hmm the pineapple infused mezcal mentioned here seems interesting to have around ( cc @APBBlue )

Happy national #cocktail day!

This is turning out to be in my top 3 easily, even more so as I have it prebatched. Just need to stir well with ice to dilute a bit, splash of bitters, then pour into the cold glass.
Cacao nib infused* #mezcal negroni
(with campari and Carpano antica vermouth; 1 part each)

*1:1 Mix of 8 hr (overnight) infused at cool ambient room temp and 90 min infused at 65 ⁰C; 10% cacao nibs by weight per volume of mezcal (Espadin)

I should probably 3Dprint a lid with a hole to connect the tube from the smoking gun thingy, rather than have it open under and trap with a watch glass.

#Cocktail #Drinks #Drinkstodon #Booze

Felt extra fancy and well fed after earlyish dinner so...
Chocolate infused #Mezcal #Negroni (Carpano, campari) with garam masala smoke
A damn fine drink, if I say so myself

(Smoke was just me being fancypantsy - and quickly reminded me why that silly smoking gun sees so little use)

Anyways - cheers, friends!

Not pink, not on ice - I'll leave that to California friends.
But #Champagne chilled in the finest snow this side of my porch

Didn't have anything to drink in the evening and before midnight - but feeling much better now, so oh yeah 2026 - bring it on!
Painkiller (№ 3 if you must know)

#Rum #Cocktails #booze #Boozehounds #Drinks #Drinkstodon

For the flight, followed up the Weller 👆🏽 - so clearly #bourbon on the nose and then taste - with these 3 #whisky s - in this left to right order: Toki (so light and so much like a Scotch), Jameson, then the Speyside Glenrothes I picked up some time ago. Oddly the last is smooth and full bodied but but hmm - will have to finish with something else

#whiskey #Booze #Boozehounds #Drinkstodon

Winding down the year - just a wee dram of this #bourbon for an impromptu tasting/flight this fine evening

#Booze #Boozehounds #Drinkstodon

Not too often partner springs for me to fix her a #cocktail (rather than her whiskey or bourbon + seltzer). Ok a whiskey sour, she said - so I made one thinking about the one I had last in Osaka a few weeks ago*
No Hakushu here, went with the Ao that I have and yuzu liqueur I picked up (instead of syrup) along with lemon juice. A touch bracing (my preference is sweeter) but partner likes it sour. She liked this!

Mundo Perdido #Tiki #Coctail
Beachbum Berry/Smugglers Cove.
Made the cinnamon syrup for it yesterday - this tastes like an amped up apple cider (not too but distinctly apple-y). Broke out Hamilton 86 Demerara #Rum for this (first bottle I've had - I had, have the 151 on hand more).
Happy making Saturday evening drink for sure!

In a #NOLA state of mind
With a Bywater #cocktail

I don't use velvet falernum much (my local Maggie's Farm distillery makes a terrific one) - but with ¼ oz here it's fine - went with the Plantation Barbados rum to tie it together.

Aaah! This is one fine Friday drink!

#Drink #Drinkstodon #Boozehounds

This turned out terrific! (Even with the Dolin vermouth). And yes, 3 drops of saltwater make a huge difference.

Gin Mare, Trincheri, pickled jalapeno.
Cheers! #Martini #drinkstodon #coupe

A decade and half or so ago, totally fell for this drink - at Pussers American Bar in Munich. I've never been able to have piña coladas since then. It's only a 1 oz of fresh orange juice that's added in the Painkiller - but that makes a world of difference! Dangerous these things - and the No.3 is my preference.
(I don't always use Pussers or only Pussers #Rum in it either)

Oh my word! Finally trying a combination the young bloke next to me at Bijou in Mexico City* mentioned and had. I didn't try there, opting instead for a house special cocktail. Trying it now at home with mezcal I have - my private stash Tobala (the guy said #mezcal Tobala specifically) with tonic water. Just terrific!
(I haven't tried it with other mezcal to see if it's not as good)
So good now! Will be incredible in Summer!

Can't have too much of that 👆🏽 sotol at a time.
So moving on. Margarita for partner (1½ scaling) and a mezcal margarita for me. And look at me all fancy with the tamarind + chile rim after my CDMX trip.
(Only did a bit of that for partner - didn't want to risk getting my fancy ass kicked)

Probably my 2nd Espresso Martini #Cocktail ever and can't remember the last time I used Kahlua (just too sweet; I haven't made my own coffee liqueur in years - don't use it much, but) wow - this is a damn fine #Drink

1½ oz vodka (Sobieski; ry)
1 oz espresso
⅓ oz Kahlua
⅓ oz licor 43

Smuggler's Cove Hurricane* approx

Felt a bit fancy - and this is quite a good passion fruit juice (50%) I saw n picked up!

It's fine it's fine that's just a phat hurricane glass
and ¾ scale drink (3:1 on the Gosling's:Stiggin's )

#Rum #Cocktails #Drinks #Drinkstodon #Boozehounds

... And looks like a #rum tasting is on!
Oh this one is wildly different - grassy apply hint of hogo meatiness - and not an agricole!
(Ah yes* this one made from molasses - that would explain the hint of funk)

Not that I haven't had a daiquiri for long but I usually make one with syrup - this way with powdered sugar in lime juice is a variant I haven't tried in a while. Sugar is powdered now, I will have more!

Going with the La Louisiane #Cocktail tonight
(For a quicker comparison (to recent/prev 👆🏽Vieux Carre))

I do like this better, yes it is a touch sweeter, and less of an edge. Smoother, rounder, same Old Overholt rye.

#Drink #Drinkstodon #Boozehounds

Of various proportions went with the diffords one

Vieux Carre #Cocktail

I don't reach for Benedictine much, or Cognac for that matter. Fixed that - especially since it's not doing the bottle of vermouth any good still sitting around in the fridge
Used mix of angostura and peychauds bitters

#Drink #Drinkstodon #BoozeHounds

Back to basics, straight up, no frills, let's get straight to it Margarita #Cocktail to close out this miserable week

½ oz agave nectar
1 oz lime juice
2 oz tequila (ok I used 1oz each reposado & añejo)

#Drink #Drinkstodon #Boozehounds

Needed something nice
Can't remember the last time I made this - over a year perhaps - but just what I needed.
The Art of Choke #Cocktail
Slightly annoying amount of lemon juice (¾ tsp) - ¼ lime's worth it turns out, but I made it to spec https://punchdrink.com/recipes/the-art-of-choke/

Swell #Drink !

Fernet con coca (yeah yeah what about it?!)

Before 2pm so I can have a caffeinated beverage.
