It's just a very small increment so it's more useful than ounces for me (maybe this goes back into the whole study abroad thing, although I never did that).
And even though it's all liquid, I find it a lot easier to measure by weight than using a measuring cup or jigger.
Especially if making fresh espresso, I'm going to dial in my shot by weight anyway so I don't make bitter espresso. So I'll have a cheap scale that is accurate within 0.01 grams at the ready.
But the joke here is also commenting on the vibe of an espresso martini in relation to a vodka redbull. The latter is seen as a bit more of a trashy drink while the former has a fancier vibe. I love an Irish coffee, but the metaphor would change to something like the Irish coffee being a vodka redbull that travelled europe during the winter.
JD and coke has same sorta of vibe as the vodka redbull, but coke has a lot less caffeine.
Not heard of Nutty Spaniards, googled 3 recipes and none had any caffeine mixer I could see. Red wine, sherry, almond mixer and orange bitters.
Vodka with super chilled Red bull cranberry. So many amazing summer nights. That's why I lost my iphone on a porta potty and was so fucked up I thought someone stole it, and then kept parting until the morning no fucks given.

I guess my espresso absinthe martini is the one that did psychedelics when they studied abroad.
BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 2y
Got a recipe for that? Sounds interesting
CubitOom@infosec.pub · 3 pts · 2y
Place a couple ice cubes in the glass first. Then,
Admittedly, it's a bit light on the absinthe.
I also recommend using a German/Austrian absinthe if possible.
I call it "the early bird gets the wormword" but I'm not too inlove with the name.

Grams..?
CubitOom@infosec.pub · 1 pts · 2y
Yeah, it's all in grams.
It's just a very small increment so it's more useful than ounces for me (maybe this goes back into the whole study abroad thing, although I never did that).

Took me longer than I'd care to admit to figure out Red Bull vodka is another name for vodka Red Bull.
nonearther@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 2y
The comparison makes no sense whatsoever
Johnhones@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 2y
They both mix alcohol(downer) and caffeine(upper)

More like yours is a shitty complaint. It's a joke, not a phd thesis.
