Chris RuppelLAGOON WATER ½ oz lime cordial 🍋‍🟩 ¼ oz blue simple syrup 🔵 1½ oz gin 1 dash umami bitters 4 drops saline top with seltzer Garnish: orchid Method: Set soda aside and build drink in glass in the order listed. Add a large rock of ice, add soda, and stir until color is even. I found this one on the cheerstohappyhour IG channel and had to work my butt off to make it happen ;) The build is quite involved as listed, making blue simple syrup and I also had to make the lime cordial (I'd wanted to for a while anyway). The umami bitters are also very niche, but luckily I'd already gotten them for another cocktail some months back. And finally, the clear ice and maintaining orchids at home are both their own projects spanning days/months :D If you can manage to make it, it's got a five-star look and tastes great on a sunny afternoon! 🔵 Blue simple syrup: combine 1 cup sugar and ¾ teaspoon blue spirulina powder (or food coloring), and stir to incorporate dry ingredients. Once mixed, add one cup water then stir until everything is dissolved. 🍋‍🟩 I used Jeffrey Morgenthaler's lime cordial recipe: <a href="https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jeffreymorgenthaler.com/lime-cordial/</a> 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/lagoon-water/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/lagoon-water/</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/gin?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gin</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lime?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lime</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cordial?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cordial</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/LimeCordial?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LimeCordial</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/blue?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#blue</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/SimpleSyrup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SimpleSyrup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/umami?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#umami</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bitters?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bitters</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/saline?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#saline</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/orchid?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#orchid</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/garnish?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garnish</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ClearIce?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClearIce</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/subshine?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subshine</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/HomeBar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeBar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mixology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mixology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>

Chris RuppelPower-Up Technique ¾ oz lime juice ¾ oz carrot juice ½ oz simple syrup 2 oz mezcal joven a few sliced chilis Garnish: salt rim, lime twist Method: Prepare the glass by rubbing the rim with lime then dipping it in salt. Combine all remaining ingredients in a shaker with ice and shake. Open pour into the glass and garnish with lime twist. A lovely margarita riff from <a class="u-url" href="https://pixelfed.social/@highproofpreacher@threads.net" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@highproofpreacher@threads.net</a> — the carrot works so well bringing both sweetness and an earthy tone to complement the mezcal. I have a balcony-grown chili as a garnish in the photo, but for the drink itself I often prefer for a couple dashes of tabasco or other vinegar hot sauce to add heat. 🔗 <a href="https://potentpotables.app/drinks/power-up-technique/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://potentpotables.app/drinks/power-up-technique/</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alcohol?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alcohol</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktail?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktail</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cocktails?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cocktails</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drink?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drink</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinks?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinks</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/homeBar?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeBar</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mixology?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mixology</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/margarita?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#margarita</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/riff?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#riff</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/mezcal?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mezcal</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/lime?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lime</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/carrot?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carrot</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/juice?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#juice</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/simpleSyrup?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simpleSyrup</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/balcony?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#balcony</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/garden?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#garden</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/balconygarden?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#balconygarden</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/chili?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chili</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/drinkstodon?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinkstodon</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/fedithirst?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fedithirst</a>

FiXatoFirst attempt at making a Masala <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Chai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chai</a> simple syrup has been decent. I do think it needs quite a bit more ginger (perhaps I should grate some instead of slicing it), and get some better cinnamon sticks. Should also look into if there is much of a difference between using cardamom pods, or just the dried seeds from them (which I used). Definitely need to up the spice to water ratio too, or let it infuse for longer. Using muscovado along with regular sugar gives an interesting extra depth, but may also have made it too sweet. (Though amping up the spices in general might help with that too, as I would need to add less of the <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/SimpleSyrup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SimpleSyrup</a> to my freshly brewed <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/tea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tea</a>.)<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/FiXatoFood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiXatoFood</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/FiXatoCreative" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiXatoCreative</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/FiXatoExperiments" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiXatoExperiments</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#food</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/drinks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#drinks</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/hotBeverage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hotBeverage</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/syrup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#syrup</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/homebrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homebrew</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/MasalaChai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MasalaChai</a>

Ross of OttawaIt's the cheapest <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vodka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vodka</a> I could find a year or so ago. The plastic bottle is a quality indicator. Just using it to make sugar syrup. Unfortunately I found out if you make <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/simpleSyrup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simpleSyrup</a> without it, it grows mould pretty quick, even in the fridge.Doing about 1:1 sugar-boiling water seems to work okay. Not sure what the mixology wisdom is on the preferred ratio.
