Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is another Grand Elixir (I've batched a few) from Difford's Guide (pre-batch recipe)

45ml  Cachaça
22.5ml  Yellow Chartreuse (or génépy liqueur)
15ml  Honey syrup (3 honey to 1 water)
15ml  Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
15ml water

Store in freezer for a couple of hours then pour yourself a good coupe and garnish with a lime wedge.

I confirm it's a really good one.
Highly recommended

I'm bartending a birthday party this afternoon. Here's the drinks list. I have found that Izarra, a Basque green herbal liqueur from France, is a reasonably decent green Chartreuse substitute in many drinks. The yellow chartreuse was a gift from the party hosts, so I will be using the real thing.

How does a screwdriver with like 1tsp of thyme syrup sound?

Orange juice, vodka, thyme syrup.

Simply 1:1 sugar syrup infused with thyme.

I know I made a orange and rosemary liquor once that was pretty good.

How do I make a screwdriver fancy??? I'm thinking to add herbs to it. OR maybe lemon, lime definitely.

Haha maybe basil.

Tonight's #aperitivo #aperitif is the Brass Poppy's #gibson

60ml gin or vodka (used a local gin from Love Beer Craft: Ocì Ibò London Dry Gin)
15ml Cocchi Americano (Luxardo Bitter Bianco)
7,5ml Carpano dry vermouth
barspoon onion brine

Stirr&Strain and garnish with 3 cocktail onions.

This cocktail is seriously delicious! And the gin is a keeper for me, so much more enjoyable than Monkey 47, yet almost as complex and flavourful. There is a lot of juniper and a green, grassy note that reminds me of a good rhum agricòle.
Grab a bottle if you are in Milan.

A fun Manhattan riff apparently named after a bar in LA. First seen on The Educated Barfly IG channel.

Tonight’s drink adventure: Used the Shaker and Spoon Mission to Margs kit to make Playa Paraiso margaritas - with tequila, and with CleanCo Clean T non alcoholic tequila. Overall review: this kit makes fantastic drinks. Everyone enjoyed the flavor. Secondary review, everyone preferred the drinks with real tequila. Still, if you aren’t drinking any alcohol, I could do the NA stuff. It doesn’t taste like the real thing, but it’s more fun than going without. #cocktails #mocktails #ShakerAndSpoon
