"DON LOCKWOOD" cocktail. LAPHROAIG was still little bit strong or dominant ingredient in cocktails, but I like this cocktail too. With combination of Bourbon and Maple syrup. INGREDIENTS: 1 OZ Bourbon Whiskey 1 OZ Islay Whisky 0.33 OZ Maple Syrup 2 Dashes Chocolate Bitters 1 Dash Angostura Bitters.

New video dropping on Mixology Hacks channel to show you how you can make your own rapid bitters in under 30 minutes.

My second try to make homemade coffee liqueur. The first one was ground coffee infused vodka with cinnamon stick and orange peel + 3:2 Demerara syrup. But it turned to be too cinnamony, which tasted good in Dominicana cocktail but too distracting in Espresso Martini styled cocktails. For this one I decided to use coffee beans infused overproof Jamaican rum, cold brew coffee and coconut sugar syrup for some caramel flavor (120 ml infused rum, 120 ml coffee, 45 ml rich 2:1 coconut sugar syrup). The liqueur tastes boozier and funk of the rum overpowers coffee flavor a bit. So still looking for better recipe. What’s your recipe you tried and like the most? 🙂

If anyone is wondering how the orgeats came out, this is the results. From left to right, toasted almond, pistachio, avocado pits, toasted cashews, and toasted macadamia nuts. Everything I used was unsalted. For the almonds, I blanched them first to take the skin off before toasting them. In order to get the color of the pistachio, I blanched them first to peel the skin off, then blended it. For the avocado pits, I let it dry and took the skin off, and then chopped it into smaller pieces before toasting it in a pan. For the cashews and the macadamia nuts, I lightly toasted them. Now onto creating cocktails with them!
