Chris RuppelWINTER BASIL SMASH handful fresh basil 1 oz lemon juice ¾ oz simple syrup 2 oz aquavit Garnish: basil leaf Method: Set aside one basil leaf as garnish. In a shaker, muddle remaining basil leaves with lemon juice and simple syrup. Add aquavit and ice cubes, shake, and double strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice cubes. An interesting riff on the Gin Basil Smash, it's refreshing yet has a touch of warming notes from the aquavit. Don't be scared off by the two full shots. This one is balanced nicely by the generous amounts of lemon and simple. I had Thai basil on hand when I took the photo and I thought it worked well in the cocktail, even though the spec calls for the Italian variety. I first saw this one on IG from theeducatedbarfly. 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/winter-basil-smash/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/winter-basil-smash/</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ginBasilSmash?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ginBasilSmash</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/riff?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riff</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/basil?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#basil</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lemon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lemon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/juice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#juice</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/simpleSyrup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simpleSyrup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/aquavit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aquavit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/basilLeaf?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#basilLeaf</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/garnish?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garnish</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homeBar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeBar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>

Chris RuppelSIESTA ¾ oz lime juice ½ oz grapefruit juice ¾ oz simple syrup ¼ oz Campari 1½ oz Tequila blanco Garnish: lime wheel Method: Combine all ingredients in a shaker with 12 ounces crushed ice, shake, and double-strain into a coupe glass. Garnish by placing lime wheel on the rim of the glass. A delicious spin on the Hemingway Daquiri. I'm always down for a tequila sub! Easy going down so watch out ;) Found on IG subtletiki channel. 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/siesta/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/siesta/</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homeBar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeBar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mixology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mixology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lime?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lime</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/juice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#juice</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/grapefruit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grapefruit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/simpleSyrup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simpleSyrup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/syrup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#syrup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Campari?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Campari</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/amaro?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amaro</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/aperitivo?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#aperitivo</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tequila?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tequila</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blanco?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blanco</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/coupe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coupe</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/servedUp?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#servedUp</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>

Chris RuppelPower-Up Technique ¾ oz lime juice ¾ oz carrot juice ½ oz simple syrup 2 oz mezcal joven a few sliced chilis Garnish: salt rim, lime twist Method: Prepare the glass by rubbing the rim with lime then dipping it in salt. Combine all remaining ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Open pour into the glass and garnish with lime twist. A lovely margarita riff from <a class="u-url" href="https://pixelfed.social/@highproofpreacher@threads.net" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@highproofpreacher@threads.net</a> — the carrot works so well bringing both sweetness and an earthy tone to complement the mezcal. I have a balcony-grown chili as a garnish in the photo, but for the drink itself I often prefer for a couple dashes of tabasco or other vinegar hot sauce to add heat. 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/power-up-technique/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/power-up-technique/</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homeBar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeBar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mixology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mixology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/margarita?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#margarita</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/riff?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riff</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mezcal?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mezcal</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lime?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lime</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/carrot?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carrot</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/juice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#juice</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/simpleSyrup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simpleSyrup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/balcony?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#balcony</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/garden?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garden</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/balconygarden?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#balconygarden</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chili?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chili</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>

Chris RuppelDoctor Funk by Donn Beach ½ oz lemon juice ½ oz lime juice ¼ oz grenadine ½ oz demerara syrup ¼ oz absinthe 2¼ oz Black Pot Still Rum 1 oz seltzer Garnish: pineapple frond Method: Combine all ingredients with ice, shake or flash blend, open pour. This one is one of my favorite tiki drinks. This version is from the Smuggler's Cove book, page 266. In it Martin Cate emphasizes that a funky Jamaican rum is needed to stand up to the hearty dose of absinthe. Jamaicans are far and away my favorite rums so this one always hits the spot for me. Pictured in the background is Hamilton's black pot still, which is the specific rum called for in this drink. However, if you don't have it on hand you can blend two rums (a black and a pot still) to land mostly in the same place, as is praxis in tiki anyway. 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/doctor-funk/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/doctor-funk/</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/tiki?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tiki</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TikiDrink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TikiDrink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/TikiCocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TikiCocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mixology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mixology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homebar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homebar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/rum?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rum</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/PotStillRum?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PotStillRum</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/BlackRum?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackRum</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lemon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lemon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lime?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lime</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/juice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#juice</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/absinthe?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#absinthe</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/anisette?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anisette</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SimpleSyrup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SimpleSyrup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/grenadine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grenadine</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/seltzer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seltzer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ArtOfBRex?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArtOfBRex</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/DonnBeach?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DonnBeach</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SmugglersCoveSF?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SmugglersCoveSF</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>

Ross of OttawaIt's the cheapest <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vodka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vodka</a> I could find a year or so ago. The plastic bottle is a quality indicator. Just using it to make sugar syrup. Unfortunately I found out if you make <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/simpleSyrup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simpleSyrup</a> without it, it grows mould pretty quick, even in the fridge.Doing about 1:1 sugar-boiling water seems to work okay. Not sure what the mixology wisdom is on the preferred ratio.
