Ha ha - Blair I so know what you mean!! I needed a vacation after the NOLA "working vacation"... (and a lot of extra time at the gym.........) Thanks for watching and cheers!
Hey Warren - thanks for the comment & for watching. Wasn't it a fun night?! So, was that your flashbulb going off during the filming?? ;-) If so, please tag on fb - love to have it. Great souvenir of a super party. Cheers!
Isn't it awesome?! I bought it in NOLA - of course. Where i was feeling alternately lewd and abandoned (by my good sense!) ha ha ha
Nice job Charlotte - you make me thirsty for a delicious Hendrick's / Lillet martini!!!
Hi - thanks for checking in!!! We are going to shoot some new videos this summer. Can't wait. Please check back. Cheers, Natalie
Hey guys,thanks for watching the video - and yes, I'm already counting down to 2011 too!!! :-)
Good point Blair.
So glad you like it Blair. He threw whiskey on the carpet, the curtains, and the sofa. It was mad stuff. If only we had 20 minute long videos, you could have seen it all! hilarious. But, Richard Patterson is very informative and a true expert in the field. It was a great opportunity to interview him.
Nice job on the video guys! Cheers to NYC & MCC.
Thank you, Robert, for answering the above. Yes, Chris, I was going to basically say what Robert said - although with far less articulation... :-) Blair - that is an interesting question. I'm going to see if I can find anything online regarding sugars used --- and if you find something in the meantime - or if anyone else does, please feel free to share it here. A general comment: My main mission - both at TheLiquidMuse.com and in this video series, is to make quality cocktails and spirits "accessible" to the general public. We in the cocktail geekdom get very concerned with the "right" way to do things. For this reason, I loved that Gwydion showed pouring water from a pitcher as well as from an absinthe fountain, for example. (My dad is French and loves his Pastis --- a relative of absinthe - and since a kid, I've seen him just pour some into a glass and then add water to taste. Easy peasy without pomp & circumstance. Anyone can do it and not feel wrong.) Drinks, like food, are about enjoying it as you like it. The more information and understanding people have about the traditional ways of doing thing, the more they can develop their own palates and experiences to maximize the enjoyment... and even add their own twists. Cheers - and thank you all for watching Inspired Sips!
Really cool Andrew!! That looks amazing.
Totally. Yummy combo.
Thank you Chris! :-) You come up with great stuff too. I always enjoy visiting you at Secreto when in Santa Fe.
Hi Federico, Lawrence and Blair, Thanks for the input and for watching Inspired Sips. We appreciate your support! Cheers! Natalie
Hello Henrik, You are correct in the sense that half an average sized lime averages about 1/2 ounce. Personally, 1/2 ounce of limejuice works perfectly for me. Hence, I usually use 1/2 an average size lime. Sorry if that was not clear in the video. I am a big believer in giving people tools - ie: basic recipe guidelines - and encouraging them to adjust to their own taste. In other words, if you prefer the drink with slightly more or slightly less lime juice, you should make the drink to suit your palate. Thank you for commenting and for watching Inspired Sips! Cheers, Natalie
Thanks you guys! It turned out pretty yummy. Thank you for watching Inspired Sips!! :-)
This is my kinda cocktail! Simple - a kiss of sweet liqueur in the whiskey and orange bitters to boot - yummy...
This looks absolutely scrumptious! I wish I could make one now... its only 10 am... is that bad?
