I haven’t had a cocktail for a few days, been on an iced water kick, but today had:

1.5oz tequila claro

.75oz Chinola

.75oz Ancho Reyes

1oz lime

2oz not particularly fizzy tepache

Shaken. Yum. Sat on the porch and relaxed, then an early supper. Have a great weekend!

      Is this where they add soda to the drink? I got an Old Fashioned in Milwaukee and they asked me if I wanted it sweet or sour. I was very confused and chose sweet, not knowing what that meant. Ultimately, I was pretty disappointed with the drink I was served.

        Yes. Also brandy (Korbel) based instead of whiskey.

        Honestly. I wouldn’t put a Wisconsin Old Fashioned and Old Fashioned in the same category. I’m not surprised you were disappointed. Different liquor, different mixer, different balance. Only similarities are the bitters the fruit (although in WI the cherry steals the show).

        It’s definitely a nostalgic drink for me. I like it with sour or pressed (soda water instead of soda). It’s the perfect companion to a wood paneled supper club and a well done steak.

          This explains a lot, thanks! A crowded bar at a Wisconsin wedding was not the place to ask for more details about the drink.

      Get a grapefruit Jarritos (and a lime, because the soda is so sweet) and make a Paloma.

        … So I’m in Australia and jarritos are hard to get and expensive to get when you can. But my local Mexican place sells these ones and Ive had em before and zomg this sounds amazing. Worth the $4.50 a bottle!

      I’m particular to a more tart margarita, this was the recipe from a restaurant I bartended at for a while, it was a big hit with the BBQ crowd

      The Flats

      2oz tequila blanco

      2oz fresh lime

      .75 oz simple

      .75 oz Tripple sec

      .25 oz egg white

      Dry shake all ingredients, then shake with ice, strain over fresh ice and garnish with a salt rim and lime

    Having a passion fruit margarita and watching Rebel Moon.

    2oz tequila ocho (claro)

    3/4 oz orange liqueur

    3/4 oz Chinola

    1 oz lime juice

    Shake shake. As good as it sounds. The movie is good so far, too.

    I don’t drink, but I do plan to get lit on some Jealousy. One of the best strains out there imo.
