What’s the Gin, sorry was a bit hard to hear?

@@soultraffics I think it's Nikka Coffey Gin ("coffey" written correctly like that, since it indicates the destilation method of this gin, using Coffey stills).

I used to make perfumery before switching to mixing drinks and I can say these things are somewhat related. You’ve mentioned the book by Françoise Chartier - I actually don’t understand the reason why he felt the need to extract flavor molecules on his own ‘cause perfumers are already into it. As for linalool, save for coriander seeds this molecule can be found as one of the major constituents in many floral essential oils such as lily of the valley, jasmine, orange blossom and in very high concentrations in French lavender. Also in bergamot and sweet basil oils... Lots of things. Yes, organic chemistry sometimes can be fun! For instance, lemon oil contains delta-Limonene and beta-Pinene. All citrus have the first, and the latter can be found in conifers and some plants such as rosemary. That means you can potentially combine citrus scents with “fresh forest” scents. Ok, let’s utilize that idea to make a cocktail, grab some lemon juice, gin, tonic, rosemary and juniper berries for garnishing...wait a second?.. 😅

If the citrus is too tart, but you wish to keep the focus of the citrus, perhaps adding some oleo sacrum (lemon peels macerated in sugar). Gotta get my hands on that book.

@TrufflesOnTheRocks

4 жыл бұрын

I love Oleo but in this case, adding a seciond sugar would result in a too sweet cocktail I believe. I actually liked it like that but I'm sure some poeple will find it too tart so that's why I suggest cutting off 0.25 oz of the tart citrus. It will still be there for the taste and the grapefruit adds plenty enough citrus to have that citrus flav. But you remind me I should make some Oleo soon. Cheers!

Merci! En effet ce livre est génial! ❤

Always when I see a grapefruit juice in the cocktail, I try to replace a part of it with Aperol and sometimes with Campari, e.g. when the recipe calls for 1 oz of the juice, I use 3/4 oz of the juice and 1/4 of the Aperol. When I use Campari, I do about a half amount of it, so it's like 1/8 oz (scant teaspoon; I don't like Campari in large amounts, like 1 oz). It usually results in really good cocktails. Tbh most of the time I prefer these than the originals. I encourage you to try it :)

@TrufflesOnTheRocks

Pistachios are great to use instead of almond in a "orgeat like" syrup. I'll add that to my notes for an upcoming vid. for the walnut, there are some very good walnut bitters out there. Honest John makes a delicious one. Hope it helped. Cheers

@lbpjaime423

4 жыл бұрын

Could use digestive liqueurs, it would fit in, like Frangelico being nutty. The pistachios being quite flavourful could overpower other flavours, could work with strong liqueurs, maybe whisky/brandy, putting in some sweetness being simple syrup or any other kind of syrup, some "meddled" (idk how its actually written) pistachios? Could be a nice touch to an old fashioned. If that doesnt bring the pistachio flavour in the drink you could try making a pistachio simple syrup.
