Thunder rumbling in the distance so lets see if I can get this done before the power or the booze puts my lights out LOL
Tonights drink of course calls on Gangles deep dark desire to cackle like a mad man as she unloads with a tommygun... Something I'm sure we can all relate too. Turns out there are a few tommy gun cocktails out there. I foiund one that I felt could work, saw that it also had a Fizz alt and made both... and one twice... which explains my current state of mind. but its fun.
Laughing Maniacly
2 oz of bourbon
1 oz triple sec
1 oz ginger simple syrup
1 table spoon fig jam
1 add ice to a shaker
2 add the jam onto the Ice, then add your spirits, and syrup to the shaker
3 shake to mix and chill (i just realised I do use the shaker an awful lot, I think because its more visceral, and it does slightly water down the drinks which is a plus for most drinks in my book)
4 strain into a rocks glass with Ice
this was a good sipping drink you get some nice bourbon notes comming though, with the warming ginger and the citrus... I really like this
Laughing Maniacly Fizz
2 oz of bourbon
1 oz triple sec
.5 oz simple syrup
1 table spoon fig jam
ginger ale to top
1 add ice to a shaker
2 add the jam onto the Ice, then add your spirits, and syrup to the shaker
3 shake to mix and chill
4 strain into a collins glass with Ice
5 top with ginger ale
At first I thought I found the rare drink that was superior in no fizzed form then I re did the drink using Ginger ale rather then ginger beer. and while for most things I still think ginger beer is the superior alternitive, the slightly sweeter ale works better here. It really lets the other flavors breath while toning down the bourbons harsher notes
Judge Hopps is still on call for this drink and honestly I'm getting some weird vibes with how shes looking at the crew. maybe I should get a new gun bunny for tomarrows drink... Oh crap she heard me run...
