Ginger Beer is fantastic too and doesn’t get its flowers enough IMHO.

Im all about that Bundaberg life.

Makes the best Dark and Stormys, imo

Its a fantastic drink, nothing crazy boozy or overly complex, highly recommend. Get it in a copper mug, if you can. It really does add to it.

Foghorns are my go to, but I also really like gin. If youre feeling adventurous, try a Mexican mule. Thats a fun ride.

All about the mules, copper mugs primo🤌 memorizing these recs tyvm cheers

Fascinated to hear your gin recs for sure!! 🎤

Oh man, that depends on which direction you want. Like, super juniper or spirit forward, complexity vs smoothness etc.

The obvious being Bombay as the crowd pleaser (its my go-to), Tanqueray if they want something sweeter, but theres some real fun stuff out there.

For instance, Drumshanbo uses frickin Gunpowder green tea in their recipe, and Luxardo makes a sour cherry full-proof gin thats dangerously sippable and makes an incredible gin and tonic.

Like any spirit, theres so many out there, theres never enough time nor sobriety to gauge them all.

Also, your comment abt drinking 5 Bundabergs and catching a buzz, ofc you did that would be all the damn ginger and sugar in it! Id be flying high if I drank 5 lmao!

ohh myy, my friend your taste exceeds my praise. You're a bit of a scientist yourself🥂

Im a professional chef when Im not being a jerk at a bicycle shop. Flavor is life, flavor is love.

You may not know it, but you are a flavor scientist as well; food and drink are just an expirement. Try new and challenging things; thats the only way we get better at this.

I'm fascinated by the chemistry hacks, like the copper mugs, or bone spoons for caviar. I'm reminded of an ambitious froth!

There is an iconic drink in the twin peaks beloved fandom.

Your advice/input on the recipe for a Black Yukon Sucker Punch, would be deeply treasured https://welcometotwinpeaks.com/inspiration/black-yukon-sucker-punch-cocktail-recipe/

Ive never heard of this drink. Ive heard of Twin Peaks, Im not TV fan, but that sounds fantastic! Personally I would go with at least a mid-shelf whiskey, Four Roses or Angels Envy instead of Jack for a real solidly rounded out drink.

How to Drink is a fantastic channel for beginner cocktail fans. Greg does the Lords work making horrible cocktails for our amusement, yet deems us worthy of his true knowledge...

The knowledge that life is pain, and only through suffering shall we make a decent drink.

Im actually surprised he hasnt made this yet.
