I've actually spent a long time trying to recreate Captain Morgan's Tattoo Rum. The Chambord is a key ingredient, followed up with Jagermeifter. Use Captain Morgan's Black Spiced Rum if you can find it, if not the regular Spiced Rum will suffice. Gets you about 80% of the way there to what the original used to be. If I could find like a solid currant or a more citrus exotic syrup likely be better than the original or that much closer.

In an alternate Greek history where Sisyphus is replaced with Greg: One of the cursed cocktails is so bad that it threatens to take Greg's very life! He quickly whips up a piña colada with extra cream to stave off the effects. He'd heard that the cream might line his stomach, and afford him another layer of protection. It works! But it's not very good. Death, furious at his unclaimed soul, curses Greg for all eternity. The task, to make his extra creamy piña colada actually taste good, but using no measurements of any kind, and never making any forward progress no matter what he does; yet vehemently convinced he CAN fix it! Alas, poor Greg. Doomed to drink and taste and add to this sub-par, substandard, blasé thing unto the end of time.

I could bet money on the fact that the customer meant pineapple chunks instead of juice and coconut cream instead of cream of coconut (coconut-flavoured syrup).

I once worked with a bartender who was really clever but also really lazy. It was a little nine seat bar in a fine dining restaurant, so there wasn't much space back there but people still expected him to be able to make whatever they had their heart set on. He got sick of having to muddle the occasional jalapeño for spicy margaritas (we didn't stock Ancho Reyes), so he had a brainwave: we had a bunch of little glass spritzer bottles we'd used for hand sanitizer mid pandemic, and a bottle of Everclear, both gathering dust. He infused some jalapeños into the Everclear and put it in one of the spray bottles, creating a literal pepper spray he referred to as "Evilclear". When someone would order a spicy marg, or any spicy cocktail, he'd just put a few sprays of that stuff in the glass or shaker to instantly add that pepper heat without having to muddle anything. He also had spray bottles of vermouth and Herbsaint for "rinses"

As a former barista the way I would make (and have made!) the spicy espresso martini is by brewing a shot of espresso into some cocoa with a bit of chipotle pepper and cinnamon.

About the extra-creamy piña colada: In Brazil (at least, probably in other tropical countries as well) there is something called "coconut milk", which is just that: extra-fatty coconut flesh blended until homogenized. The consistency is similar to heavy cream. It is very coconut-y, and adds a lot of creaminess to boot (it whips well due to the fat content). I think it would work in an "extra-creamy". Not only that, but if you use fresh pineapple, blended, instead of canned juice, the fruit itself becomes foamy/creamy, especially if it is a little bit underripe. Add something very high proof, like everclear so there is less drink-watering water in it.

@0Clewi0 11 ай бұрын

For me that I don't drink alcohol so I just have it virgin style freezing the ingredients also helps to keep the foamy in it and the extra ice out. (also fruit not juice used on it) But yeah, that cream looks super watery.

Two things about Chambord, from my experience: 1) It often tastes slightly off, precisely because most people who buy it don't find much use for it, so it sits on the shelf (often in sub-par storage conditions) oxidising and ends up getting a musty, almost sulphuretted taste, sort of like old grapeskins or stale raisins. Like vermouth, it should be used quickly or stored in the fridge to prolong its life. And 2) It's one of those liqueurs that evolves in the glass; it really benefits from getting thinned out by the melting ice. I say this as someone whose favoured after-dinner drink was a Chambord on ice. So if you have a Chambord-heavy drink it's best if diluted with some water or give it time to settle, that'll help with the sickly sweetness and brings out the other flavours (which is another reason to consider point 1, because one of those flavours will be the old oxidised flavour).

When I used to bartend (at a Red Robin restaurant) we had a soft serve ice cream machine for the milkshakes so I used to throw a quick half second pull of ice cream into the blender when making piña coladas. It definitely wasn’t the way I was supposed to make them (and the RR company was not cool with going off recipe) but everybody LOVED the way I made them. I even had a few customers who’d only order them when I was bartending. When I used to make them according to recipe I’d get them sent back all of the time. It wasn’t a bad recipe but most of the time when people order them at restaurants they expect a more desserty slushy drink.

"Old fashioned with a sweet liqueur instead of the syrup" was my immediate thought upon hearing the words "chambord old fashioned", and I was sitting there going, "why is that insane? I think it would add depth" only to realize it was interpreted as "sub whiskey for liqueur". I'd love to see an episode of similar replacements. As for Pina colada guy, maybe he was asking for extra cream of coconut? Honestly I'm surprised the pineapple + cream combination worked at all; I half expected it to curdle. I got nothing on the beet juice mimosa though.

Not sure if you have covered this but when I was in the navy stationed in Japan there was a hazing drink they used to offer new people to the area. It was called a cowboy killer. It was a double shot filled 45% with bacardi 151, 45% filled with a strong proof habusaki and topped off with Tabasco. Something that fits well in this series.

The main problem with letting liqueurs like Chambord or even Schnapps sit around for years is that they eventually take on a rancid quality that resembles nail polish in aroma, and is quite vomit-inducing in flavor. I feel for you, Greg.

@ericklein6796 Жыл бұрын

The other problem with such cloyingly sweet liqueurs is that it takes so little of them for any one cocktail and you are left with a hugely expensive one trick pony. The only salvation I’ve found for Chambord is champagne or Prosecco. It can save a really rotten bottle. Although ice cream or pancakes might not be horrible. I have a “holy hand grenade” left over from New Years. Perhaps some experimentation is in order.

On the subject of replacing the sweetener in your old fashioned with a sweet liqueur - I do this a lot when making cocktails for myself and it's great. Using sweet nut liqueurs is always interesting and, if you're willing to totally desecrate the meaning of "Old fashioned," use gin for the spirits, a quarter ounce of velvet falernum for the sweetener, and your preferred citrus bitters. It's the rough balance of an old fashioned but with bright, clear flavors instead of brown flavors and the drink itself is glass-clear if you use a less strongly colored citrus bitters.

The person who ordered the beet mimosa was absolutely on some weird diet where they can only drink clear liquids and eat white meat and root vegetables or something.
