That is very sage advice. The trouble is you'd just fill your fridge with half bottles. I lost a half bottle of Beesou which saddened me, it sat on the bar shelf for a couple of months inbetween uses and had gone dark orange and bitty. Shame.

sorry to spam this but it's something that I've been thinking about for a while. So are we saying that my Lillet Blnc, Cynar, Noilly Prat etc etc at under 20% should all be in the fridge? I'm guessing the purists will say yes, but on a practical note between the family kitchen fridge and the bar fridge I just wouldn't have enough room for it all. The 3 I've just mentioned seem OK but how do you know if they've gone off? I haven't done a count but it could be 12 - 15 bottles of various things that would fall into this bracket.

For us, anything under 25% ABV goes in the fridge after opening.

Had an old fashioned evening yesterday, tried a lot of variations with rye, bourbon, whiskey and rum (it ended up being a long night) and the general consensus among the group who all love their whiskeys was that 12.5ml is too sweet. 10 worked well with rye but for most others 7.5ml sugar syrup was the sweet spot. Literally.

And meant to say that orange bitters were fave over Angostura. Luxardo cherries are also worth their weight in gold by the way, give anything that little extra lusciousness.

Lovely. The description mentions both orange and lemon as a garnish and although the photo is with orange I preferred lemon. Maybe a lucky mistake! It does have a lovely spicy finish, hence I had to try two obviously.

Well that was lovely. I’ve accidentally made variations of this when messing around, some of my fav ingredients in this. I dialled up everything by 10 ml but left the maple syrup as it was, absolutely smashing. And my wife Debs (seriously) is not listening to the instruction!

Settled on this to celebrate our wedding anniversary. A good choice...on all accounts.

So different I’ll have to try it when I can get passion fruits, all the supermarkets are always out, far too many pornstars being made! And congrats!

just starting to explore Calvados so will definitely give this one a go later. It looks slightly light on the Applejack, you'd expect more like 60ml, is that something to do with it being brandy rather than whiskey?

Tried it with my new chocolate bitters and found it a bit too sweet, need to get some Abbotts bitters then…..

well done Nils! This looks amazing and is now on my hit list for the coming weekend as soon as I grab some more Fino. Congrats.

Ran out of sherry, subbed some ruby port instead and still lovely. Did two dashes of bitters just to offset the sweetness

well done Leroy you've done it again! This looks amazing, a worthy winner, huge congrats. It would never cross my mind to have milk and soda water in the same drink, crazy mixologist skills 👏🏼

I've just come across this on another site and hadn't realised it was available here also. Has anybody used this? It seems too good to be true if you're going to be making a lot of sours, the sugar syrup and egg white all combined together. No mess, too easy? I guess I could just buy a bottle and try it out but wondered if anybody had any experience with it, good or bad? It strikes me that if I've never seen anyone using it then there must be something wrong with it 🤣

Another into the favourites. Having an evening of trying a few off the wishlist, Division Bell got 4 stars and not a favourite, this is 5 stars and made the cut . Might have time for a 3rd, we’ll see.

Well this was a little treat, something very Italian about it. Felt like I should have just got out of a little 2 seater wearing a cravat. Read all the other comments and decided to add 5ml to each of the gin and Bianco and 10ml less maraschino. Absolutely lovely.
