Cankles-McJeggings Went to a mate’s Mrs’ party last weekend and she was serving up whiskey sours of which reminded me how partial I am to them but not ever really arsed to actually get a proper production line at home going. That all changed today.
Cankles-McJeggings All over it millsy. Made two now. Even made my own simple syrup and went to Dan Murphy’s and got some maraschino cherries! Hello sailor!!
Millsy Cankles-McJeggings they do a variation on the resort I’m currently in, called a figgy sour. It’s absolutely sensational. Smashing them back every night. Will try and get the recipe.
benson Gonna try and have a few weeks off the sauce now. Did enjoy the Don julio 1942 tequila last night. But a few weeks off probably a good thing
Cankles-McJeggings Millsy Ive been doing these millsy. Voted top 3 by all the bartender’s in America.
Cankles-McJeggings Yeh do. I’m experimenting myself. Tried a cherry sour too which wasn’t bad. Using Woodford bourbon but been told to use single Tennessee whiskey instead. Problem is they are just too easy to drink and there’s not enough in a glass to last more than a few mins. 😬
LT42 I have a new batch of berry vodka, gin and raki on the way with me to the Summer house. I’m going to fall asleep in my chair every night.
rhouses Enjoying salted caramel baileys + splash of toned milk + half a shot of grey goose + 4 ice cubes, once a week treat with the j.
Cankles-McJeggings At Xmas we do the Belgium chocolate Bailey’s with vodka and Chambord. It’s fucking lethal but tastes like dessert. Always ruins everyone.
rhouses Cankles-McJeggings pretty much how I look at it, beverage dessert post dinner. Made even better with the wedding cake ganj strain. What are your thoughts on Black Label in the whiskey sour?
Cankles-McJeggings Although I can get it to taste exactly like in bars I’ll be fucked if I can get the same froth on the top from the egg. I’ve tried fucking everything. Might be not so fresh eggs.
C_J rhouses Johnny walker was good back in the day but is now Diageo tourist fodder. Black Bottle on the other hand is class - and cheap. Never tried it in a sour but is good for whiskey espresso martinis Thankyouplease
Cankles-McJeggings Dubman I’ve got about a quarter of a bottle left after tonight’s session and not feeling too bad.
Cankles-McJeggings Nah bourbon for me. I went to a gaff the other week and the guy was English and I think he felt obliged to sort me and used a fine single malt and it didn’t work as well as a decent bourbon. Didn’t have the heart to tell him.
rhouses Cankles-McJeggings hmmm single malt would be way too peaty. Bourbon is good, but can be a bit sweet.
