I just polished off my bottle of Power’s Rye. But I feel like there’s a good riff on a black Manhattan out there with Power’s Rye, splash of Guinness, and, uh, Irish amaro?
Any whiskey drink with Irish whiskey and a Guinness topper had been on my mind but I decided against buying more whiskey just for this context
Empty a cadbury egg. Mix Baileys and Irish whiskey. Pour it into the chocolate egg shell. Happy Easter.
Bwahaha, sneaking in at the end! This sounds terrible! Would you like to choose the ingredients for the May challenge?
I was given a bottle of sotol and I’m not sure how to use it. I feel like subbing it for tequila in a margarita is kind of wasting its uniqueness. I’d like to see what other people are doing with it. If that’s too unpopular, summer is coming and I love rum punches but they’re always too sweet. The sugar kicks my ass before the alcohol hits me. I’d love to see some great recipes for a nice dark Caribbean or Jamaican rum that balance the sweetness instead of adding to it.
I think a “dry rum” is a good idea for May, and I too would like to see ideas for a less sweet rum drink.
The sotol, I see a recipe that looks like a mint julep, just has it poured over muddled mint, agave, and ice, with sliced lemon. I am not convinced but would try it. But I also believe in my heart a margarita style drink works with damn near anything. Something sweet, something boozy, something sour. It lets the spirit shine through but enough softening from the citrus and liqueur to actually taste it comfortably. Also - try it with a splash of fresh pineapple juice. And you can make a post with request for ideas
