      Nick, I have a tip for you regarding clarified punches (I've done many, thanks to you, and I'm even planning to improvise one hazelnut-based soon, though I'm a bit in trouble for proportions): just let them sink with the recipient slightly tilted for at least 1h, no moving at all. If you're careful, most curdles will have already sinked to the bottom and filtration will speed up A LOT

      I am not a health expert but according to how Indian households use spices. I think that is too much turmeric you are putting, i mean it is a spice heavy on your liver mixing it with alcohol in that much quantity might not be such a good idea.

    This is honestly amazing Nick! I work as a cocktail bartender at Dishoom here in London and the Cyrus Irani was created at the Dishoom I work at! You got the drink pretty damn spot on- making the honey syrup is one of our weekly tasks. Usually however we use a yoghurt syrup (2:1 yoghurt to water ratio) in these cocktails! The Cyrus Irani is a standard of our bar. Been such a huge fan for years and honestly you pushed me into wanting to do this professionally- seeing my bar mentioned in one of your videos is so surreal! keep it up!!

    Hey Nick, Baking Soda, Vinegar and an Abrasive scrubber to get turmeric stains off counters. Get pets and little kids out of the room, sprinkle baking soda on top, add a cap of white distilled vinegar, let it sit for six minutes and attack with an abrasive scrubber.

      @@RishKP I wouldn't recommend using an abrasive on hardwood. I've been told (never tried it) that you can cover the area with flour or cornstarch and then soak it with vinegar. Leave it for a few hours or overnight and then sweep up the flour. The vinegar dissolves the yellow oils, which then redeposit on the flour instead of the surface. It might take a few repetitions to get it all up, and I'm not sure vinegar is very good for wood floors, so it might not be a great method for your case, but maybe worth a try before you break out the scrub brush.

      Here in Redmond, WA, there is one of those "eclectic"/"modern" Indian restaurants where they serve a rye whiskey-based Pani poori... I have to admit I've never tried it, but it does sound intriguing.
      Also, there is no actual truth to the belief that toxins are created by heating honey above 95F -- if that was true, your own body heat would make honey poisonous... What happens is that some of the water-soluble antioxidants and antimicrobial compounds start to break down (i.e., it basically becomes sugar water at that point). It's the same thing that happens when you warm fruit juices.

    Not sure you want to explore more Indian-y cocktails but vodka pani puri is something you can try. It's the spicy green water of pani puri (corrriander, green chillies ginger/ garlic wee bit of spices- cumin and salt) + vodka.
    Interestingly enough a cocktail from a Bombay restaurant called 'Churchgate' (Like having a drink called 'Grand Central'!) Had earl grey, tamarind and I think whiskey. Served in a martini glass. You'd be how surprised earl grey goes with vodka/ whiskey!
    Another great Indian-y drink at good bars in India is the paan vodka/ gin. The post meal digestive( guess you know what paan is!) is blended with vodka or gin as their more neutral to give an amazing cocktail which doubles as a palate cleanser and mouth freshener!
    Some bars also have drinks with figs - again amazing.

    I never gave it an ounce of thought of where it's derived from, and if you had asked me before, I probably would have assumed it was just some ground seed or pod or something like finely ground pepper. That turmeric plant, however, looked more like a cross between carrots and ginger.
