Snakes In The Ball Pit > Yay, I get to talk about me!
what's your poison (and by poison i mean delicious alcohol)
Ambious:
So I LOVE cocktails.
And now that I have a proper kitchen and I can't go to bars (I mean I COULD because this country is dumb but I won't because I'm a little less dumb) I decided to pick up making cocktails myself.
I bought some supplies and a mint plant, logged into makemeacocktail.com, and started mixing.
It was mostly bland at first, but I'm getting better each day to the point where I can supplement some tastes by feel. Here's what I made so far:
Jamaican Orange (Great!)
1 part rum
3 part lemonade
1/2 orange juice
Cuba Libre Cream Soda (Good and sweet)
20 ml Lemon Juice
45 ml Dark Rum
125 ml Cream Soda
Rum Collins (It's meh)
1 Lime Juice
60 ml White Rum
Top up Soda Water
1 ml Sugar
Fitzgerald (Not bad)
22.5 ml Lemon Juice
22.5 ml Sugar Syrup
2 dashes Angostura Bitter
60 ml Dry Gin
Juan Collins (VERY good!)
1parts Lemon Juice
1dash Soda Water
2parts Tequila
1parts Sugar Syrup
Fidel Castro (Refreshing!)
1 part lime juice
4 parts rum
8 parts ginger beer
Ginger Mojito (My favorite so far)
15 ml Lime Juice
8 Mint Leaves
½ Lime
150 ml Ginger Beer
Teaspoon Sugar
30 ml Rum
Rum Punch (Sweet and great!)
22.5 ml Lime Juice
Substitution: Lime
45 ml Sugar Syrup
3 ml Angostura Bitter
67.5 ml Rum
Copper Gin (basically gin and tonic with ginger ale instead of tonic)
180 ml Ginger Ale
45 ml Gin
5 ml Angostura Bitter
I also tried (and failed) for a regular mojito (crushed ice is essential, it turns out, and I don't have a mixer yet).
As you can tell I mostly enjoy rum, but I'll try and mix it up some more as soon as I get some better stuff.
Vinny Possum:
Been making black rose tea, mixing with whiskey and a splash of lemon, drinking hot. Real good shit.
chai tea latte:
constantly drinking litres and litres of decaf green tea with honey, no whiskey
