Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

I might try using an aerator (meant frother) on the Campari, stirring with ice, and then floating some soda to get the best of both worlds.
-
Lacking an aetator (edit: frother) I did the shake, strained it, enjoyed a sip, and floated some hop water. Not bad! Thanks @prpx

Glad you like it. Its a real treat for campari lovers

@Mizmazzle If I ever go back to Louisville,Four Roses is a distillery I have to go to. I’ve really been enjoying their Small Batch Select. Nothing wrong with what’s in your glass. I feel like they fly under the bourbon radar and all their products are good values.

@Jett129 it’s a nice one to have around. Won’t break the bank and drinks great.
Absolutely,All the Four Roses are like that.

Okay first post here. Going through this thread I have two say two things first:
-
I am far behind you when it comes to drinking experience
-
This thread is a phenomenal basis to catch up quickly
As a Bavarian I obviously have a weak spot for beer. My favorite „hard stuff“ is either Whiskey or Gin. I know absolutely nothing about the first but am lucky to have a good friend who does and who by now understands my taste very well.
I know a little about the latter and here’s the bottle I picked up yesterday:
From the first tasting at the shop it’s very citrusy but not „in your face“. Well balanced, relatively dry, „light“. The Bergamot adds an interesting facet to the citrusyness (is that a word?)
@Tago-Mago @ARNC I‘ll report more thoroughly how it goes sans and with Tonic when the occasion comes to open the bottle. Sadly haven’t tried the OG version of this but theres great comparisons online!

@weftyarn we’re all learning at a rate mostly proportional to our liver function
I only know the regular Gin Mare, which is definitely a “summer gin” for me but really good. Look forward to hearing how you get on with the Capri.
I’m maybe the opposite to you – it’s easy to forget about beer unless I’m visiting Bavaria or it’s time for the next UHHH. My excuse is I grew up in a wine-drinking household.

Campari shakerato per me stasera

Good weekend

The herbs in the regular version (not Capri) are one of the things that make it stand out for me. For G&T I think it works well with a rosemary garnish, and I expect that would also work with the Capri.
Which reminds me I need to buy some sage - recommended serve for a new gin I was given. Maybe more news later!
