I guess my espresso absinthe martini is the one that did psychedelics when they studied abroad.

BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Got a recipe for that? Sounds interesting

CubitOom@infosec.pub · 3 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Place a couple ice cubes in the glass first. Then,

  • 15 g absinthe, stir till opaque
  • 20 g cocchi Americano
  • 10 g grand Marnier
  • 5 g hazelnut syrup
  • double shot of espresso (mine is dialed in at 36 grams)

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 (1 reply)

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).

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.

Fair enough, thank you for explaining!

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 (10 replies)

The comparison makes no sense whatsoever

Johnhones@sh.itjust.works · 18 pts · 2y (7 replies)

They both mix alcohol(downer) and caffeine(upper)

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.

So you're complaining that the joke didn't include all the drinks... Geez.

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

Vodka-e? Vodka-energy? I don't think something like that would allowed where I'm from anymore

MissJinx@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

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.
