wait. talk more about the green tea and whiskey combo. is the green tea sweetened? what’s the proportions? doesn’t the whiskey overpower the green tea?

Man, I'm like 90% sure it was whisky? My Mandarin is pretty poor (I got by by slurring my Cantonese in a weird accent and hoping to god it was close to understandable), and my memories of those nights, on top of being from 15 years ago, are exceedingly hazy (for the reasons you think). I didn't often do the ordering. But there some kind of green tea cocktail we drank at pretty much every Shanghai club we went to.

I tried googling it earlier as I was writing to jog my memory, but I couldn't find many results in English beyond other green tea cocktail shot recipes that have sours and schnaps.

It wasn't sweetened. At least not recognizably. I think green tea often has this strong grassy flavor that would theoretically complement more woody whiskies. I don't remember the proportions either.

It's entirely possible that I just remember it being good because I was young and stupid and just out to get drunk. And it was good for that at least. Hahahah.

Sorry, I can't clarify better. ;;;_;;;

(The most terrible drink I had in China was a horrifying screwdriver we made with orange juice from the karaoke place mixed with convenience store baijiu. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!)

Puukko’s Travel Log 2

Passage from Puukko's Travel Log

I'd ne'er put much thought into flying. Snork has though, it seems. A ship that can fly, quite the thing! Imagine, another golden age fer piracy, all the way up in a different wild blue. 'Cept o'course if ye fall overboard, it's less Davey Jones an' more broken bones. At least the burial's still free! I Imagine the hole you'd make oughta be at least six feet deep. Maybe they ought t' tie rope to one another so they just dangle over the side a bit instead? [A small doodle of a grumpy looking moomin with an eyepatch dangling from a rope in the clouds below a flying ship fills the gap before the next line] 

Apologies on the grim jokes. Somethin' 'bout adventurin' brings back a bit o' the old me. Beneath my admittedly cuddly exterior these days, turns out I'm still a rough ol' sea dog at heart. Moominmama stuck a big ol' jar of things in my bag when I weren't lookin'. Lots of thoughtful things, little though they may be. A fine letter, as well. Her handwriting's a mite prettier than mine. Gon' stick it the next page over. She's a kind woman, and I've no doubt within her lies a raucous beast. Her husband writes about his "stormy youth", but I'd bet Moominmama's got some memoirs of her own t' write. 

Made landfall somewhere flat and dry in what I assume is Italy. Bound t' be a long trek to civilization, but that's all part o' the journey. Snork dropped me off, headed somewhere else. He said somethin' 'bout "making some adjustments" afore he goes off t' find his precious cargo. It's not often I find myself feeling that perhaps I'm in over me head, but if I'm not over me head, I'm at least over me snout. Got to thinkin' so much on people, and being in a strange place, and whether I'll like the food or what have ye, I ne'er even thought on where I were landing or even where I were going. Fixin' t' make camp fer now and see that I can't find my way toward something a lil more populated come morning. The adventure's only just begun. 

Day 3

Signed Puukko

--

To Miss Puukko, from Moominmama 

Hello dear. It was lovely to have you, if only for an evening. You're always welcome at Moominhouse. Moomintroll seems to think you a legend like from his fairytales! How fun an idea. I hope you don't mind the intrusion, but I've left with you some treats to help you feel more at home on your journey. I'm sure Moominpapa won't mind missing a pinch of tobacco or a drop from his still. You'll be gone before he notices, anyhow. There's a number of things here, but don't be hasty to enjoy them right away. You'll know when you need them! Stay safe out there, dear. The world's changed a lot since you came to the valley, and pirates aren't quite as common as they used to be. 

I hope whatever you're looking for, you find it. Or maybe you're hoping it'll find you. 

Warmest regards,

 Moominmama and the Moomin family. 

A large glass jar with a red cloth pinned under the lid. It's filled with a variety of things, most of which are labeled in Moominmama's handwriting. Some have a small note attached, as well. Below the letter, Puukko has inventoried the jar's contents in her journal. 

A satchet of tobacco from Moominpapa's pipe bag

A small portion of raspberry jam

A pouch of loose tea, it smells sweet but medicinal. "should you feel ill, or for sour moods"

A dram of whisky, courtesy of Papa's still. "just a taste, don't go overboard!" 

A tin of some kind of balm or poultice. "one of grandma's recipes, for cuts and bruises"

An off-white kerchief with a rose embroidered on it

A few cookies. "filling, but not too much"

A single serving of spices with a fish drawn on its wax-paper bundle

[bennydwight]

you asked for asks so i shall deliver >:)

*ahem*

what do you think your favorite characters (across fandoms or just from tgamm) would order for drinks at a restaurant?

My brain is interpreting this as alcoholic drinks, I hope that's what you meant. I'll do the immediate McGee family! (Molly and Darryl are 21 in this scenario, of course)

Pete: Looooves the classics. Give him a simple martini or gin and tonic and he's a happy man. He's a sipper and likes to savour his drinks, basking in the nostalgia as dads often do. His favourite at-home one is Baileys and coffee (and yes, he is aware of the stereotype)

Sharon: You know after she moved out on her own she had a party phase, so now she's got a bit of a tolerance to strong flavours. She likes dark rums and whisky sours, things to swirl around in her cup as she goes 🤔 Also LOOOOOVES chocolate liqueur

Molly: Never looks at the ingredients lists, just orders whichever drink sounds 'happiest', and has thusly developed a taste for light, nuanced wines. She likes the sparkle and pop of champagne cocktails, and everything is made better with a little fruit skewer!

Darryl: Never even looks at the menu. He pulls the bartender aside and whispers, confidentially, to make him something that they'd always wanted to try. No limitations. He's always on the lookout for new flavours (and potentially a new recipe to offer to the highest bidder) and he's had just as many shining successes as he's had horrible, stomach churning mistakes. Lives for the thrill.

Scratch: Anything but soda Generally speaking, the older the better. Has expensive tastes, obviously, but really there's no way to go wrong with a neat scotch. Astonishingly good at picking up subtleties in flavour. (His second-favourite is something he calls Swamp Water, wherein he drinks the contents of the bar's dishwasher.)

#asks #silviaflowers #thank you for the ask!! #the ghost and molly mcgee #tgamm #this was fun to think about! #thank you truly for this one sil <3 #if alcohol is not what you meant then shoot me a line and I'll write an amended post

WHISKY SOUR - SCOTCH WHISKY SOUR - or SCOTTISH WHISKY SOUR

Classic Cocktail - A true Scotch Whisky Sour is 150 years old, yet you’ll still find it in the trendiest bars. Give this cocktail a go with your favourite scotch! With egg white included, it is sometimes called a Boston sour; when the whisky used is a Scotch, it is called a Scotch sour.

The Whisky Sour was invented in the 1860s, but British Navy sailors🇬🇧 had been drinking something very similar for a long time before that. Fresh and clean water was difficult to find on long sea journeys, so sailors commonly used whisky, rum and other spirits to substitute.

In the 19th century aside from lack of clean water, many sailors suffered from scurvy, a potentially fatal disease caused in part by lack of vitamin C. Sailors consumed lemons and limes to help prevent the disease from spreading. For many years, sailors on the sea drank whisky sours. Their popularity grew when they finally arrived on the shores of the United States.

There are three main references on the official record. The first record is written in Jerry Thomas' seminal 1862 book, The Bartender's Guide: How to Mix Drinks. The second reference comes from a Wisconsin newspaper, the Waukesha Plainsdealer in 1870. The final record is in 1872 and states that Elliot Staub, a former ship steward, "invented" a drink called the Whisky Sour in a bar in Iquique, (then part of Peru) now Iquique is a port city and commune in northern Chile, 🇨🇱 after the Pacific War (1879).

Ingredients

2 ounces Scotch whisky

3/4 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed

1/2 ounce simple syrup

1/2 ounce egg white (optional)

Garnish: Angostura bitters

Steps

1 Add Scotch, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white, if using, to a shaker, and dry-shake for 30 seconds without ice.

2. Add ice and shake again for 15-20 seconds, until well-chilled.

3. Strain into a rocks glass over fresh ice, or into a coupe without ice.

4. Garnish with 3-4 drops of Angostura bitters.

Egg white adds viscosity and mouthfeel to cocktails and drinks such as sours only taste their best when made with added egg white. Egg white can also add an attractive foamy head to cocktails and the amount of foam produced can be extenuated using a “Dry Shake” refers to shaking ingredients in a cocktail shaker without ice.

Although raw egg whites are optional in the Whisky Sour, they are required in drinks such as the Ramos Gin Fizz, Amaretto Sour, Whisky Sour, Clover Club, Tequila Sour, Sloe Gin Fizz, Pisco Sour, Eggnog and White Lady. You can also use dried egg white powder.

Any recipe containing egg requires a vigorous dry shake for at least 30 seconds to ensure that the egg white combines with the other ingredients and produces a smooth, frothy texture.

Do remember that drinking and serving alcohol responsibly is a must. Cheers drinking classic cocktails — safely!

Cocktails and Indian Gastro Pub Food - Brook Pub

Within the ever-changing world of food, Indian Gastro Pubs have made a special place for themselves by combining the relaxed atmosphere of a bar with the bold, rich flavours of Indian food. Combining traditional and new drinks with the fragrant and lively flavours of Indian foods is called cocktail matching. It makes the experience much better. In this article, we explore the fascinating world of drink pairings at Indian Gastro Pubs. Also,  discovering how the flavours work together so well and make your taste buds dance.

Best Indian Gastro Pub Food

Fusion: Pub Culture and Indian Spice

There's more to Indian Gastro Pubs than the food. They're full of activities that involve all of your senses. A lively and classy atmosphere is created when pub culture is mixed with the varied and fragrant dishes of Indian food. As a unique way to enjoy a meal, the mixologists at the restaurant have to come up with drinks that go well with the spicy tastes and spices of Indian food.

Making the Perfect Cocktail Menu: Classic and Innovative

A well-thought-out cocktail menu with a mix of old favourites and new creations is one of the things that any good Indian gastropub should have. Blending standard Indian ingredients and spices into classic drink recipes creates a symphony of flavours that go well with the hearty nature of Indian food.

Many times, an Indian twist is added to standard cocktails like the Martini or the Old Fashioned. In the shakers, things like cardamom, saffron, tamarind, and chai spices are added to make known drinks taste even better than you remember. The result is a set of cocktails that honour the history of mixing drinks and the wide range of Indian flavours.

Spices, Spirits, and Things Nice: Infusion

One of the main things that mixologists at Indian Gastro Pubs do is infuse drinks with fragrant spices. In this method, the essence of different spices is mixed with other beverages. It lets the flavours blend and makes a unique base for cocktails. For example, gin or vodka with added cardamom or turmeric can cause many different drinks to taste better.

Mixologists try out new methods, like smoke infusion, besides to the more standard infusions. Smoked drinks, usually made with woods like hickory or applewood, add drama to the drinking experience and improve it. These methods make the cocktails more exciting and create a sensory experience that fits with the lively vibe of Indian Gastro Pubs.

Finding the Perfect Pairing: Indian Gastro Pub Food and Cocktails

Once the skill of making cocktails combines with the variety of tastes of Indian gastropub treats, magic happens. The goal is to ensure the tastes go well together to make the whole dining experience better, not  to have a drink with your food.

Cocktails with kebabs and whisky:

A well-made whisky drink goes well with tandoori kebabs' smoky and charred flavours. Whether you're drinking a traditional Whisky Sour or a creative whisky cocktail with chai, the intense flavours of the liquor go well with the hearty kebabs. Making a harmonious mix of flavours on the tongue.

Differences Between Curry and Cooler:

Because they have many different spices, vibrant and flavorful curries go well with cool and refreshing drinks. When paired with spicy curry, a cucumber and mint cooler or a fruity sangria can be a great way to cool down and please your taste buds.

Biryani and Sparkle:

Whether the biryani is meatless or made with meat, it needs a as rich drink. Cocktails with bubbles, like a champagne-based drink with lemon and flowery notes, cut through the dish's richness making an indulgent and refreshing balance.

Food and Exotic Elixirs:

Drinks with unusual flavours go well with street food favourites like samosas and pakoras. To go with the different textures and tastes of Indian street food, mixologists often make new drinks with tropical fruits, spices, and herbs. It is called a culinary adventure for the tongue.t

Desserts and Drinks:

Dessert is essential to any Indian meal; the main course is incomplete without it. Dessert-themed drinks go great with rich and decadent desserts. For a delicious end to the meal, try chocolate-infused martinis, masala chai-inspired beverages or even a sweet lassi with a splash of liquor.

Making Memories Beyond the Glass

It's more than about the tastes when you pair drinks with Indian gastropub treats; it's about the whole experience. You can remember your eating experience because of how well-made cocktails look, how they smell, and how the different textures and tastes interact on your tongue.

Plus, the storytelling part makes it even more enjoyable. Mixologists often discuss their ideas for their drinks, where certain ingredients come from, and their methods to make cocktails. This story makes the experience more engaging, which helps people connect with the drinks more.

Conclusion: Enhancing Cuisine

Cocktails and delicious foods go together like butter and sugar in Indian Gastro Pubs. Thus, making a meal an unforgettable experience for all the senses. When you mix classic and new drinks with the solid and fragrant flavours of Indian food, you get a symphony on the palate that stays with you.

It doesn't matter if you pair tandoori kebabs with a whisky with deep and complicated notes or a sparkling wine with crisp contrast.

Since I'm out tomorrow for a medical procedure on my shoulder, I have set my work Out of Office, like a responsible citizen. When I do this, every leave has a special section at the end, and tomorrows will be:

Cocktail of this leave is The Jam Sour: 50ml Whiskey, 20ml Fresh lemon juice, 2 tsp Jam, Dash of orange bitters, 1 egg white or 2 tbsp of aquafaba (optional). Directions: Add to a shaker with ice, mix, pour drink.

My own private joke today is that this specific cocktail recipe comes from the website for the whisky Monkey Shoulder.

(I work for an alcohol company, which is why putting cocktail recipes in my OoO isn't as staggeringly unprofessional as it may seem)

Apple Whiskey Sour

Apple whiskey is a popular spirit in America. It has an enticing aroma, a sweet and slightly tart flavor, and is a perfect ingredient for cocktail drinks. It is also a great gift for those who enjoy drinking alcoholic beverages.

Infused with regal gala apples, Crown Royal Regal Apple Whisky combines smooth bourbon with crisp fruity flavors for a pleasantly balanced drink. It is available in a variety of bottles and can be enjoyed neat or with mixers like club soda and lemon wedges.

For a refreshing fall cocktail, try kyodie apple whiskey Sour. This simple, delicious cocktail is easy to make and can be made with a variety of ingredients.

You will need apples (Gala, Honeycrisp or Fuji are recommended), cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, bourbon whiskey, and honey. You can use any brand of bourbon or rye whiskey you prefer for this recipe.

When you infuse your whiskey with apple, you will want to allow it to soak for at least 7 days. This will give you the best result for a strong apple flavor. You can even leave it soaking longer if you'd like!

A good whiskey with a high proof will be able to handle the infusion. It may take a few weeks to see if the infused whiskey is "apple-y" enough for you. If not, you can add more apples to the infusion.

The sourness of the infused kyodie peach whiskey will help balance out the sweetness of the pomegranate liqueur. This is a wonderful drink to serve during the holiday season, but it can be enjoyed any time of year.

This drink is very easy to make and can be served either as a drink or as a dessert. You can also mix it with other liquors to create an apple pie-inspired drink.

Unlike the traditional apple cider, this cocktail contains whiskey rather than fruit juice. It is a great choice for a cocktail party because it can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer until you're ready to serve it.

One of the first distilled spirits to come to America was apple brandy. It was crafted by Alexander Laird when he emigrated from Scotland to New Jersey in 1698.

When he settled in the town of Colts Neck, he started distilling his own apple brandy. It was so successful that it became a family business. In 1780, his great-grandson established Laird & Company, which is officially the oldest licensed distillery in the United States.

In modern times, apple brandy is distilled in both the Northeast and Kentucky. The Copper & Kings Distillery in Louisville, Kentucky, distills apple brandy with a copper pot still and matures it in bourbon barrels and sherry casks.

While a lot of people associate apple with fall, it has a rich and rewarding flavor all year long. You can enjoy this fruity distilled spirit in any time of the year, but it is especially appealing when it's cold outside. Check out this post: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/whisky that has expounded on the topic.

How to Drink Whiskey: A Beginner's Guide

Whiskey must be aged for a minimum of three years. Because of this, you'll see a number on bottles of Chivas Regal, Glenfiddich, Glenlivet, or even the well-known Johnnie Walker, frequently starting at three years.

Similar to wine, whiskey increases in price with age. There are certain ways in which whiskey is enjoyed better, especially if it is fine and aged.

However, if you have a fine bottle of aged whiskey, here are five traditional ways to sip it:

Have it neat

Purchase a Glencairn whisky glass if you want to do it right. It has a substantial base and a lovely curved shaped.  Because the mouth is smaller than the base, you can smell the notes of the whiskey before taking a sip. Before you taste the smooth smokiness on your tongue, enjoy it.

Have your whiskey neat if possible.

Choose between 30 ml and 60 ml. But avoid downing it whole. It's too pricey to rush through a drink.  Finish your 30 ml in no less than 30 minutes. The next time you enjoy a whiskey, try to resist the impulse to quickly add ice to the glass. Even though many whiskeys benefit immensely from the addition of ice, you should at least give the spirit a shot neat.

For those who enjoy the taste of alcohol, Tardie suggests ordering a whiskey neat. "Before I got into the hospitality business, I would usually order a whiskey neat when I went out," he says. "I would call my whiskey a one-ingredient drink," the speaker said.

2. On the rocks

Try whiskey on the rocks if you don't like the flavour of it neat.

Use a single, sizable ice cube. Alternatively, you could add smaller ice cubes, but only enough to fill half of your whiskey glass.

In this way, the whiskey preserves its smoothness while also becoming more delicate. Although it isn't as "neat," the notes are still audible.

Spend 30 to 60 minutes to consume one peg (30 or 60 ml) of whiskey when sipping it on the rocks.

3. Add crushed ice

Add crushed ice to the top of your whiskey glass.

Pour as much whiskey as you like; ideally, keep pouring until you notice the bottom of the glass turning golden.

Depending on the size of your glass, this could require up to 45 ml of whiskey.

When you take a drink, the ice's crunch will overshadow the whiskey and numb your palate.

This is how whiskey is best enjoyed by those who appreciate non-sweet drinks.

4. Whiskey cocktail

We strongly advise you to try whiskey in a traditional cocktail if you just don't appreciate the flavour of whiskey by itself or if you're seeking for a different approach to enjoy whiskey. Rye whiskey bases are suggested by Tardie because of their assertiveness and capacity to compete in a combination.

Recipe for a Manhattan Cocktail

2 ounces of rye whiskey,.5 ounces of sweet vermouth, 1 to 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and a cherry for garnish are the ingredients.

Ingredients for a whiskey sour recipe are 2 ounces of bourbon, 1 ounce of lemon juice,.75 ounce of simple syrup, 1 egg white, and cherries for garnish.

5. Adding a little water

Water is a better option if you don't particularly enjoy the flavour of undiluted whiskey and don't like ice.

Put the whiskey peg you want in your glass (30 or 60 ml). Add a tiny bit of water.

A 30 ml peg of whiskey can have 5 to 30 ml of water added to it.

Avoid using too much water as you can lose the flavour.

Before moving on to your second glass, take an hour to relax and savour the first one. Using a glass of water with a straw is the simplest way to accomplish this. Just add a drop, swirl your whiskey, take a drink, and repeat as necessary until you have the flavour you like. Your whiskey will get more diluted the larger the splash, giving the impression of ice without really freezing the beverage.

The Old-Fashioned

From Embury's 1948 classic 'The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks'

If properly made, this is a truly magnificent cocktail. The principal reason that it does not enjoy an even greater popularity than it now claims is that what is usually served as an Old-Fashioned is actually a short Highball rather than a cocktail. Water, either plain or charged, has no more place in an Old-Fashioned than it has in a Manhattan or a Martini. The water is usually added ostensibly for the purpose of dissolv­ing the sugar. You can make perfect Old-Fashioneds only by using sugar syrup. However, if you do not have sugar syrup available you can make a fairly pass­able cocktail by using loaf sugar as follows:

Put one medium-sized lump of sugar in the Old- Fashioned glass and add enough lukewarm water to cover it completely. Watch carefully until the sugar starts to dissolve and then pour off all the water. Add three dashes of Angostura, crush the sugar with a muddler, and blend sugar and bitters thoroughly. Add a small quantity of whisky and stir with a small spoon until the sugar is completely dissolved and blended with the liquor. Then, and then only, complete the cocktail. It takes about twenty minutes to make a satisfactory Old-Fashioned starting with dry sugar; it takes about two minutes starting with sugar syrup. Also, the sugar syrup makes a smoother, better drink. Therefore, let's make our Old-Fashioneds this way, using medium-sized Old-Fashioned glasses (about 5 to 7 ounces).

OLD-FASHIONED DE LUXE Pour into each glass I to 2 teaspoonfuls simple syrup and add 1 to 3 dashes Angostura. Stir with a spoon to blend the bitters with the syrup. Add about 1 oz. whisky and stir again. Add 2 large cubes of ice, cracked but not crushed. Fill glass to within about 3/8" of top with whisky and stir again. Add a twist of lemon and drop peel in the glass. Decorate with a maraschino cherry on a spear. Serve with short stir rod or Old-Fashioned spoon.

I have been intentionally somewhat indefinite about the quantity of sugar and bitters for two reasons. First, you should experiment and determine for yourself just how sweet you like the drink and just how much of the bitters flavor suits you best. Second, I have stated the recipe in terms of filling your Old-Fashioned glasses to within about 3/8" of the top and I do not know the exact size of your glasses. Tastes vary somewhat, of course, but I have found that most people like about I teaspoonful of sugar and I to 2 dashes of Angostura to each 2 ounces of whisky. Also, please note that I have suggested only a cherry and a bit of lemon peel for decorations. You will fre­quently find Old-Fashioneds served with lemon, orange, cherry, and pineapple. The bartenders' man­uals of the Gay Nineties were replete with illustrations of cocktails, Sours, Crustas, Smashes, Cobblers, and other drinks decorated with all the above fruits to­gether with strawberries, grapes, raspberries, etc., ac­ cording to the available supply and the fancy of the. writer. At the other extreme stand those who con­temptuously refer to any cocktail decoration as "the garbage." My own opinion is that fruit flavors and liquors blend exquisitely and that, for a midafternoon or an evening drink, an Old-Fashioned is greatly im­proved in its over-all appeal by the judicious addition of a few fruits. Fruits, however, properly belong at the end of a dinner rather than at the beginning. Ac­cordingly, when serving Old-Fashioneds as an apéritif, I recommend using only the lemon peel with no fruit at all or, at the most, a cherry or a thin slice of orange. Note that in the Old-Fashioned the only modifying agents used are the bitters and sugar. The reaction time of this cocktail is slower than that of a Martini both because of its sugar content and because whisky is slower than gin. Don't be deceived by this. It is not a lighter drink than the Martini; it is stronger. Its action is merely delayed. As an occasional variation in your Old-Fashioned try adding a teaspoonful of the juice from your bottle of maraschino cherries or a dash of curaçao, Coin­treau, Chartreuse, or Liqueur Strega.

Old-Fashioneds are also frequently made with liquors other than rye or bourbon. Southern Comfort makes an excellent Old-Fashioned but is a bit on the sweet side. This can be offset by using less sugar. There are also GIN Old-Fashioneds, Scotch Old-Fashioneds, Brandy Old-Fashioneds, Rum Old-Fashioneds, Applejack Old-Fashioneds, etc. All are made exactly the same as the Whisky Old-Fashioned except for the liquor used. With Gin and Rum Old-Fashioneds, orange bitters may be substituted for or used in combination with the Angostura.

Note: The Gin Old-Fashioned is also sometimes called the Stubby Collins, presumably because it is a Collins without the charged water. When made with yellow gin it is sometimes called the Golden Spike.
