I’m using this one: https://vacuvin.com/products/cocktail-shaker-tin-on-tin-boston-stainless-steel

I’m happy with it, but I haven’t tried any other one so it’s hard to compare! I had it for 2 years, and it still seals well at least.

Looks great!

Great, thank you! The color looks amazing

Looks refreshing!

How do you do the cucumber syrup? Just blending everything?

Looks great! The glass really fits the cocktail.

Thank you!

I took the recipe from Diffords website, which uses sugar syrup, but I think it depends a lot on the grapes used. I might try it again with a couple more grapes and no/less syrup!

And yes, the mashed grapes do a bit of a mess!

Quantity is for 1 drink. Grapes should be muddled in the shaker before shaking, I forgot to mention it! I’ll edit the post.

Oh, kimchi butter noodles sound amazing! Definitely trying out that soon. Thanks for the ideas!

Yes maybe the orange zest would work better. I think the original recipe had a flamed zest, but I didn’t dare try it!

I’m in the same situation with eggs, I don’t have many yolk-only recipes. I do make hummus a lot though, so I have plenty of aquafaba.

It is not exactly as smooth as egg white, but it still works well for me. At least for sour cocktail, I’m not sure how well it would work for a fizz. It is easier to measure too, so the amount of resulting foam can easily be adjusted. I also have some vegan friends so it is a nice bonus!

Switching Campari for Aperol, or the other way around, is the main change I do. I like the bitterness of Campari, but my wife usually prefers Aperol, so it is an easy way to make the same cocktail work for the 2 of us!

I also usually bump the lemon/lime quantity a bit, as I rather the cocktail be on the sour side. But it might also be because the citrus we get here are not that great…

Looks great! Interesting with the oil washed gin

Great, thank you! I’ll definitely try this one

Yes please share the recipe! Rhubarb is my favorite flavor of jam, I think I would love a rhubarb sour

This calls for a side by side comparison ^^

Nice, thank you!

I have made some falernum, but I haven’t tried a corn n oil. I’ll add this to my list, it sounds tasty!

Orgeat from avocado pits sounds really interesting! Do you basically hit the pit hard enough to break it, and then boil it?

Never heard of Huckleberry, what does it taste like? Close to blueberries? Can’t go wrong with any berries in any case haha

Maple syrup is the best! I imagine it could pretty much work in any cocktails that use honey syrup
