Best Manhattan I’ve had all year! Pacifica del Mar for lunch today (in Del Mar, CA)
My mom has an old cookbook from Puebla and I just ran across this cocktail -don’t have everything to make it but I am very interested!
Happy New Year!
We might have made a mistake and let the chowpups sample at midnight with us. Heaven help us…they enjoyed it.
What’s going in with that second drink? It looks delicious!
A banana grasshopper kinda thing? I never heard of pisang ambon.
And is that an ice cube?
Its a drink from Sakoh Bar in Ginza called Etrenne, made by Akihiro Sakoh! It won him the Nippon Bartenders Associations top cocktail in 2010. Made with Vodka, green banana liquor, mint liquor, and cream. Pisang Ambon was the only brand I found that makes green banana liquor so I went with it.
And yes, it’s an ice cube…hahah I have no idea why I decided to use a huge cube for this drink, totally unnecessary
Thank you!!
Lol no totally, it seemed like an ice cube but then I thought it might be some kind of melon
I’m hanging out at the wrong house.
This one ^^ has some essence of baked apple in it. Super subtle but very good!
Sampling some Alabama whiskeys.
It was quite warm. So…. A cucumber lemonade… poured a little Hendricks gin in there. The cucumber and rose of the gin worked well.
Damn, that is right up my alley! Gin season is officially here
Have you been to Genever in Historic Filipino town?
No! Very creative, looks like a lot of fun!
Very cool spot, they just made the Top 50 best bars in North America.
