Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)
-
Damn pastry chefs and their sweet teef!
-
Anyone into Amaro? Cynar, Nardini, Ramazzotti? I'm essentially addicted.
-
i like cynar a lot.
-
@trail:
i like cynar a lot.
I have a pretty big problem with it. Mostly because it's $22-28 (depending where you buy it) and I can kill a bottle in two nights. One if I have someone to share it with.
-
its not to sweet, but its a amaro.
-
It's an Italian amaro (bitter) digestiv. It's a weird herbal cocktail whose main ingredient is artichoke (which appears on the label). It's not super strong, basically like a fortified wine, around 17% alcohol. Drink it with some lemon and ice after a heavy meal, nothing feels better on the belly.
It's definitely not sweet, though it has a hint of sweetness to offset the extreme bitter herbal flavor. It's basically all bitter though.
-
I used to drink a lot of cachaca, that shit rots your gut.
-
mega, what do you say about a whisky tasting during the next "bread and butter" ?
-
Amaro is amazing.
-
T&A, that would be amazing buddy. I like whisky but I am no expert, as an Irishman I prefer cheap mick whiskey.
-
if got a friende who's running a great whisky shop in berlin.
his tastings doesn't take them self so serious but have a great palette of different high quality whiskey's.
next to his shop is the famous "green door". the best cocktail bar of berlin, named after a 60th porn movie.
-
Whiskey and porn…...I'm in, who do we kill?
-
let's draw straws.
-
It's on
-
@Seul: glad you're going to try some! I bet it's cheaper in Europe. I'll be awaiting your impression.
My current lineup:
-
Amaro works great alone but I really love it in whiskey cocktails
-
I'm a big fan of amaro, especially after a big meal (and even more so if I'm in Italy and there's an obscure regional offering to try). Have you ever had Amaro Nonino? A buddy of mine always keeps some in his cabinet; if you indulge in more than one or two in an evening it tends to give you really weird dreams! It's quite tasty.
