I was planning to make this just now till I saw 2.5ml of Angostura bitters, not sure now

well just sipping this and can't believe how good this is, a 4.5 for us, this is totally unexpected. Am a sidecar fan by the way lol

Oh my that was such a 5* for us, all our fav ingredients

Wow a 5* for us what can I say,, another great discovery

A 5 star for us

I don't know who this guy is but am going to do all of his cocktails lol

I also used Maraska Maraschino which isn’t quite as funky as Luxardo. I’m sure it would be a fine drink either way.

Funny I used to have a colleague called David Kennedy, back in the 80’s. A great guy.

From the comments I didn’t think twice to reduce the Maraschino, bye only a little bit. It was a fine cocktail, most enjoyable

Just had this and it was very very good and got my husband to do the moustaches, he did really good

We used Red Breast 15 year

gosh the guy in the video is good lol

Heaven in a glass, this was not planned but just saw it and as we had a chocolate dessert thought it would be perfect. Hubby made it, it was great but noticed too late he omitted the coffee liqueur lol so making it again Sunday 🤣😂

Finally got around to making this yesterday. It was really nice and my type of Tiki cocktail. I used passion fruit puree instead of the pulp as it makes a mess in the shaker lol. Also added a bit of OFTD in the passion fruit shell.

Made with "legit" Chartreuse and Genepy. BUT I forgot the lime. My wife and I tried it and thought it very good. As I read the ingredients to her, I realized I forgot the lime. Added the lime and also good. I think I could drink it with or without the lime. Fun.

This sounds like when I let my husband mix a cocktail unsupervised and he forgot the sugar syrup and I said “hmm it’s very limey” lol so had to mix some sugar syrup in the glass

Making this tonight, watch this space……🙃

Next week, thought had passion fruit in freezer 😂😂

Making this tonight, watch this space……🙃

This was an exercise in substitutions. No vanilla vodka so added 1/4 tsp Mexican vanilla extract. No Chambord so muddled 4 raspberries instead. Only have white creme de cacao. Simon is right: needs more cherry so added 1/2 tsp Luxardo cherry syrup and a Luxardo-on-a-cocktail-sword garnish. Added a dash of Angostura cocoa bitters, just because. Used coupes. Everything else per Simon's recipe. Wife agrees it's pretty tasty. All we need now is a Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte to enjoy with it!

That would be 2 desserts you greedy 😉

I had all the ingredients but didn’t read the instructions 😜, better next time but still tasted delicious

A bit of a hassle to make. Not a fan of getting the Lewis bag and mallet out. Building it isn't fun and making it look nice I could do without. All said and done though... absolutely delicious. I mean, why wouldn't it be? Sweet, minty bourbon? If only someone could make them for me on a hot, hot day I would drink more of them. If I've got mint though, I'm more likely to make a Mojito. If I do make one though, it's 3oz of Bourbon, 1/2oz demerara 2:1, and about 18 mint leaves muddled and a bouquet of mint as a garnish. The bitters I can take or leave but if I have them at all, they're dashed on top of the ice, not swizzled in. I like smelling them with the mint.

Just think of your least favourite politician when hammering the ice lol

Another great creation by Simon, very much enjoyable. Pity the Cabinet Room is a private bar as we are coming to London end of May and will be doing the rounds of the best cocktail bars 😉🫢 including the Luggage Room

Made this yesterday as I wanted to test my new magic foamer again, after the Southern Border didn’t go very fluffy, well this was quite a success even if I say so myself and we enjoyed this cocktail very much. But I must say I do have to get the foam out of the shakers and spoon it out in the glasses for a full head. That’s fine by me. Also a reverse shake works best especially since the foam tends to be lost into the ice cubes. Also what I did is added 2 drops for the wet shake then 2 again

This cocktail was on my must try for many months and I finally got around to it. It was much enjoyable as we love Pisco Sour and I had the opportunity to test a new cocktail foamed I just got myself. I gave it a 4.5 but need to practice with the new foamer, I am however already happy that it has neither the smell nor the taste of one I had to dispose of. Next test tonight with the Nomad’s Amaretto sour.

This was tonight's aperitif cocktail. Initially I thought it was a bit tart and needed a couple of ml of sugar syrup but as I was drinking it it was getting better and better. Had to use Appleton instead of Myers and then found out I can get Myer's rum again. It disappeared for a few years whilst the owner sold the brand to Sazerac. I wondered why I could not get it anymore and kept searching and searching and tonight I was lucky, my normal supplier also stocks it.
