How is 6 fields beer
I recently got a bottle of Rampur Double Cask and loved the aroma. Should I stick to it neat or with ice? What snacks pair well?
I've had Feni a couple of times. It's quite different from whisky or rum. What gives it that distinctive character? Is it the cashew or coconut base?
Planning a small dinner. I want something beginner-friendly that works with creamy, spicy food without feeling too heavy.
Also a sneak peak at the next alignment chart. Let me know if anything should be changed.
I fucked up big time. This isn‘t mixology anymore, it‘s R‘n‘D. It‘s chemistry - science, bitch! It all started as an idea to make cocktails I love as a to go version. I ordered PET cans and a seamer to produce my own cocktails 2go. But I wanted more: I wanted shelf life, I wanted stability. So I swapped incredients. First the fruit juice had to go, no more real lime - citric acid. I added natural flavors of lime to compensate. The weird thing about it?? IT WORKED! I was hooked. Made some variations, designed shelf stable batched cocktails like the big players, but with the good shit. So I finally got to this: 40 ml rum blanco, 20 ml rum reposado, 12 ml overproof rum, 12 ml triples sec, 12 ml orgeat, 8 ml simples syrup, 6 ml dissolved citric acid, 90 ml water, a few drops of lime flavor — that‘s my homemade Mai Tai Buzzball with 18.1% ABV. It‘s smooth, it tastes original, it is the perfect size for a quick and dirty cocktail on the run. And it elevates my drinking habit only on a small scale, at least that‘s what I tell my wife. What do you guys think?
The original Reddit post did not include a text body.
My initial thoughts are something with a leaf garnish (e.g., mint, basil, rosemary).
I mainly drink local craft beer, so I won’t bother recommending those, but I also love strong euro lagers, my favourite probably being Faxe 10! Not sure if it’s available in the US, but I definitely recommend giving it a try! 8.6 is also pretty good🍻I assume we’re not getting drunk every night, but I imagine we all play this game “hydrated” sometimes🤣
