Random DIY mixing and More

I picked up what you were putting down. Roll Tide. As I always say...we can’t be #1 EVERY year...gotta give some others a chance.

That's what I like about my Dolphins.. giving everyone else a chance at #1 since 1973.

Okay! Cleaning time! I don't feel great, that' s for sure but maybe I finish in time to try a new rta.

Right.

Off I go, I'm gonna take some advil NOW.

I have a shortlist of fruit combos I want to try. My thinker hasn't been working well so I have no new recipes to try them in. Possibly a variation on a current recipe.............

Know for sure where the clove is coming from? I hate cloves. What % are you using on the brandy. Switch to bourbon?

It’s totally off the median %s on ELR... eggnogs both 2.5, brandy 2, vanilla madagascar 1. Pretty sure clove is coming from the FW. Some people noted it, others not. I thought about bourbon (would love a recommendation on which), but I thought brandy is what people use in eggnog. I’m hoping it’ll all settle in with a steep. I doubt that’s a snv lol, but I’ll try it Christmas and see if it’s changed.

I just prefer Bourbon in a mix.

I love having all my mixing supplies in my vape cabinet in the basement. I do not love making several trips up and down to pull it all together. I desperately need to get some nail polish cases and organize this hoard.

I've got mine the same way, got plenty of room for my vape supplies in the basement, but flavors and mixing supplies just all loose in a cabinet, and I mix upstairs, I was thinking of getting one of them cleaning caddies like this

Just load in what I need to take upstairs, and easy to transport up and down

I’d never even opened the brandy. Since I also have ginger ale, I think I must have gotten them for Anna’s recipe.
Which bourbon do you think is the better?

I prefer the FLA and VT. Both good.

 

[NolaMel]

I have FW, TPA and VTA. I’ll mix another test bottle dropping the clove-y eggnog and sub VTA bourbon. What % do you think?
Also, maybe swap the madagascar vanilla for aged bourbon cream? Thoughts?

The aged bourbon cream is a good choice Try 5% on the bourbon

Thank you. I’ll go mix it after the game. What do you think the steep should actually be? This whole mix is way out of my wheelhouse

Not much for the bourbon but no idea on the eggnog

I wasn't putting anything down. I've liked the Tide since I was a kid (Bear Bryant days). That said, it is time for others to have a shot at the big dance.

It’s slang. It meant I understood what you were saying.

pick up what (one) is putting down
slang To understand what someone is saying, especially when something is insinuated, rather than stated directly.



The tide is special. I didn’t know you were a fan?

I guess you can tell I like to mix with strawberry. More recently trying to use some other fruits in order to not get tired of strawberry. I tried this one to give a couple of other fruits the starring role. I like it. You might give it a try?

Mixed Berry Cheesecake V2
Cap NY Cheesecake 3.5%
TFA Graham Clear 1.5%
WF Mascarpone 1%
INW Rhubarb 1%
TFA Ripe Strawberry 1%
WF Boyenberry/Raspberry 3%

I’ll have to pick up some of those flavors. I only have 3 out of the six. Sounds great. Marscapon intrigues me.

Surprised you don’t have that yet

Then they are adding stuff! There were no eggnogs when I ordered. It’s the reason I also made a BCF order. I’m going to go see what else is there now

Yep they added it. I think they add new things on Fridays. I’m building a cart. But I’m gonna wait to order until I find some new recipes and get things I need.

Bourbon was my drink of choice until I quit drinking. Wild Turkey. Maybe I’ll pick up some bourbon for recipes.

 

[FranC]

Out of all the flavors I got from Gremlin there is only one new one to sft. That is the Stixx Wild Strawberry Tea. Hoping to continue feeling better and I will mix some tomorrow

I used a box today but it wasn’t big enough. That’s a great idea to get a caddy.
