      Id use rhubarb wherever you could use orange bitters or Peychaud's for the most part. If you substitute Peychaud's you won't be getting the anise of course but I just think rhubarb wpuld work with those drinks.

    • @blairmulholland
      @blairmulholland 2 года назад +7

      A lot of fruit bitters (yes, I know rhubarb is not technically a fruit) go very well in vermouth spritzers. Add a dash or two to 2 shots vermouth bianco with a quarter lemon and a top up of club soda. Cranberry bitters tastes amazing this way. I'll bet rhubarb would work well too.

    Hey Greg, my name is LV. I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your work and your channel. The first video of yours that I stumbled on was the Monster Hunter one you did a few months back, and I found myself so intrigued. I was always the "drinks" guys at parties with friends; so I started making some of your recipes for those friends and at home for my girlfriend. She loved them and realized how much fun I was having. A few months back I got certified for Mixology and I have been loving every moment of learning new drinks and serving them up for patrons and loved ones alike. Thanks for inspiring me so much over these past few months. 😊

    Not ten minutes before starting this episode, on a whim I mixed up a shot of Mr. Black and absinthe. My initial thought was that I wanted to enjoy some Mr. Black, but I wanted to spice it up, and I was going to try it with some orange liqueur, but then I saw my absinthe and had a revelation.
    The result was that I have never tasted a more licorice beverage in my life. I think that there's something to be found in the mixture. Of all the licorice-like liqueurs out there, I don't know that absinthe is the best to do this with, but there is definitely something to be found in the combination.

    Thanks for the cardamom tip.
    As somebody who's spent his share of time contemplating the state of the world, seated at the iced coffee place on the sidewalk near the Grand President Hotel on Soi 11 I can tell you the the best way to stir your coffee is to jam the straw to the bottom of the drink, plug the top, lift it, then release your thumb. It's slow but you're in Bangkok and it's that time of day when we drink coffee so you've got the time to do this right.

    Spiking your coffee with fireball is also really good cause it just tastes like coffee and sweet cinnamon and its easy to make. It can also be enjoyed both hot and cold so have fun.

    I discovered the Margarita Negra some years ago and its a personal favourite. It was taught to me as a 'South of the Border' and used Kahlua for the coffee element. I agree that the Tequila can get lost though. I tried Reposado but I missed the fresh peppery-ness of blanco. Solution: dial up the Tequila to 2.5 shots (or even 3 if its not a school night!)

    Depending on the coffee and how it's been roasted you'll get the more floral/green/fruity flavor notes so that's why it's amazing when you get those notes and add citrus from lemon/lime/orange.
    One of my favorite summer drinks is 8oz of tonic water and 4 oz of cold brew. Maybe add an oz of gin to make it an adult beverage?

    The original spec for the Mr. Bali Hai calls for a dark Jamaican rum and a “light rum” which was most likely Puerto Rican and so would be lightly aged and filtered. I like using Coruba Dark and Hamilton White Stache in mine but it’s a fun spec to play with and use all kinds of various rums. Cheers!

    Black cardamom in the Thai coffee cocktail would be interesting to try, as the it sounds like the deeper, smokey flavour of black cardamom might help tie in the bright flavour of green cardamom and meld it well with the coffee.

This is a Mexican sweet liquor similar to eggnog, but I’ll like to see what you can come up with it, I know it blends good with coffee too. Also, I love how you express yourself about tequila.

    I made the "Thai Coffee cocktail" in hopes it might be a rare drink both my wife and I could enjoy (our taste preferences tend to be at odds). I tried finding Mekhong, but for the life of me, could not... so I substituted some spiced rum. It was great! And a success in the fact it was something we could both enjoy.
    Thanks for creating that masterpiece!

    I was very skeptical that coffee and lime juice could work together. However, I made a Margarita Negra and it was good. At first, I didn't notice the coffee, but eventually I did start tasting it after the tart intensity of the lime faded. Maybe that's the evolution Greg's always talking about. The coffee and lime didn't clash. I used Jameson's Cold Brew, since that was the only good coffee liquor I had on hand. I've ordered some Mr. Black, so I'll compare the result once it arrives.
