#monsterdrinks — Public Fediverse posts

This week's cocktail is a loving tribute to chain smoking, the one thing everyone agreed was super keen in the late 80's and early 90's... so without further ado let me present:

===- Luke Skywalker, FBI -===
Ingredients:
1oz each of:
🔸 Mezcal
🔸 Campari
🔸 Sweet Vermouth
🔸 Pineapple Juice
and:
🔸 Grapefruit soda (Fresca or store brand)

Pour everything except the soda into a rocks glass, stir well and add a stainless steel freezer ball (This is the guyver!). Top off with enough grapefruit soda to make it taste balanced to you.

Take a sip every time Mark Hamill has a cigarette while watching "The Guyver"

Artists rendition (I just tested this, it's not worse than a normal Negroni, to me):

@JoeWynne as ordered, the stuff 🥁 i got for the orange blossom water has a definite baby aspirin note to it. Very bright and citrusy overall, it doesn't take a lot if you get Fiori Di Sicilia flavoring. The Silk+egg white wasn't foaming like I expected so after the soda wash on the shaker I just added whipped cream which IMO sends it, for watching The Stuff!

@JoeWynne as ordered, i found the mi tienda brand was much cheaper and more importantly, shelf stable*. Also pictured is SMEAT Benedict, with spinach/cheese eggs and a chili hollandaise i made and froze a while back. Also some (jalapeño) poppers with homemade blueberry/habanero pain sauce. Brunch is served:

*You won't notice the ounce or so less of juice in this drink, there's 🍑 enough for days here.

@JoeWynne yep, a sarsaparilla soda and some ice cream (and some Tito’s), pure spidery goodness: #cocktail #Monsterdrinks

@JoeWynne

This week's *unofficial* cocktail:

🛟🥤🍸🕷️The Boozy Spoyduh🕷️🍸🥤🛟

This is a simple one, so simple I can't believe it never occurred to me before. Take a "Spider" (an Ice cream float in Australia and New Zealand) and add 2-4 oz of your favorite booze. That's it, that's the cocktail.

Ingredients:
==========
Ice Cream/Gelato/froyo/CocowHip/NOT Sherbet
Soda
Booze.

Warnings, do not operate heavy machinery, probably stay indoors after having it. You can probably do sherbet if you want. For a non-alcoholic version don't use booze.

So TIL the _reason_ they call it a spider in Australia/NZ is because the froth looks like spiderwebs after you add the dairy to the soda:

@JoeWynne as ordered, then I um, made some modifications after trying it, here is what I’m calling “51 Roëntgen” or perhaps more accurately “the kir devil’s royale”. It was handy that a “vermouth cassis” calls for the same amount of vermouth, and I added a bit of vodka to make it my own:

This weeks cocktail is going to be a little out there but it's not that bad actually, once you get used to its peculiarities...

Chia People
====================

Ingredients:
90ml Cucumber juice (I reccommend skinning before putting them through the juice-man, you'll see)
45ml dry gin
45ml Chartreuse (yellow) or Genepy/Strega
30 ml Chia seeds (baking or health food aisle at your HEB)
30 ml Lemon Juice

Prep time: 20 min

Steps:
----------
- Juice up some cucumber, it's not bad if you don't skin them but I found it's not as translucent as I've seen in other people's photos.
- add the Chia seeds to the juice and let sit in a mixing glass for 10-12 minutes. You'll see why.
-add the other ingredients and stir well, it will be a thick, viscous mess of stuff with seeds in it.
- Don't look too close at it.
- Put in a highball glass with ice.

Tonight's "movie" features a very vibrant and eye-catching hairdo, one you don't see every day, the ultimate* combination of bangs and a widow's peak. So in tribute I messed around with someone else's recipe and came up with the:

MPDG (Moonbase Purplehaired 'Do Gal)
==========
3/4 oz. light, floral Gin
3/4 oz. Cointreau
3/4 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
3/4 oz. Vermouth
3/4 oz. Absinthe*
3/4 oz. Creme de Violette
Edible Glitter and maybe some pea-flower extract to help with the color

* I _HIGHLY_ recommend just subbing in more gin, unless you like Anise and becoming Mr. Hyde or whatnot.

Mix in a shaker, shake, and serve over fresh ice in whatever cocktail glass you have handy!

I modified the recipe from:

https://mybartender.com/recipe/midnights-martini/ though

Mostly I just made it equal parts. I don't think the flavor is going to be too different, the absinthe kind of steps up and commandeers the flavor, hard. Again: probably better without that XD #monsterdrink #monsterdrinks #cocktail

@JoeWynne Apparently there is a DNS happening with my normal account's host so images are borken :-( Anyways here (was) tonight's cocktail, as ordered. As you can see my layering is improving, I managed to get 2 layers out of the drink this time XD: #monsterdrinks #cocktail

@JoeWynne as ordered: #cocktail #monsterdrinks

@JoeWynne as ordered, mostly, since Neptunia is rarer than hen’s teeth I used one of the current limited runs that’s still on the shelves. The other modification was 2/3 oz lemon and the secret ingredient, 1/3 oz of egg whites to provide the foam. I gave my fireball cherry garnish a little help to get it actually ignited, so i guess a tiny amount of everclear is in there too: #monsterdrinks #cocktail

@JoeWynne and this is the finished product! It’ll either take two glasses or a bigger glass or just forego more ice. I like this one, very bright and punchy with a bit of kick seeping into the top from my not-quite-flammable maraschinos: #monsterdrinks #cocktail

@JoeWynne as ordered: that’s a LOT of pomegranate. Fun fact pomegranate is $LANGUAGE for “countertops made from apple”. My “flammable” cherries will still not ignite but i can fix that if they don’t come around soon… #cocktail #monsterdrinks

And the finished Quatermass. What’s a Quatermass, you may ask? About half of a hafmass. Easy peasy. Unfortunately my own current Xperiment, “flammable cherries”, has not yet bore fruit 🥁 they’ve only been soaking in the torpedo fuel for a few days though, this may take some time, maybe with some more sugar and alcohol… #cocktail #monsterdrinks
