A fine drink. I went to a La Clandestine tasting yesterday so I tried their wares including the Clandestino (Caprihana with Absinthe instead of Cachaca) I also recently tried some 1950s Campari which was better than the new stuff.
It looks good and tastes good, but is rather fiddly. I did them for a murder mystery party and it does take a bit of practice.
Currently I am sipping a Gin & Tonic with some Gin from Aldi - rather good!
Reminds me of my attempt at molecular mixology. I used gin instead of vodka and what I did involved dropping the mixture in some frozen oil to make these little jelly balls (some call it caviar, I say jelly). It is good with Champagne thought as the bubbles make the jelly balls rise and fall.
Ah yes ideally I would use something around 40-50%ABV and it does produce a different product. But alas I can't make that home. So I would class what I made a limoncello exactly, just inspired by.
I would love to but I've not yet found it in the UK yet. Hopefully sometime soon.
Last night I used a the last two drink from a bottle of Gin. One Gimlet, one Gin & tonic.
I also had a glass of South African Brandy.
HoneyBee my question to you would be what do you like to drink:
Do you like whisky (Scothc/Bourbon/Rye), Brandy, Gin, Vodka, Rum?
I think that will give you a starting point, I don't tend to buy anything I don't like (I still have some Campari though).
DO make sure you have a decent supply...
(technicalities aside)This is generally right, in the UK I'd say the most easily available one would be Blue Smirnoff. Most of the cheap stuff comes in at 37.5-40% ABV.
I agree espresso is nice on icecream but I find that it works on the nougaty stuff best otherwise the icecream seems to melt...
He did also talk a little about Herbsaint and also a newer more authentic version He also mentioned an avid collector of all thing Herbsaint who had a hand in it. :)
