Today's cocktail is the Silver 75! It's so fancy lookin'!
So good. The cherry adds a nice flavour! It tastes stong but still sweet.
Hot Toddy part 2!! It's really cold today so I wanted to make another toddy but I don't think I can go for more of the first one I made. It's so boozey. So instead I made one following a recipe by Jamie Oliver.
Mine's a little different. I didn't have any star anise or cloves but I did have cinnamon sticks and nutmeg. I also used twists of lemon and orange. Otherwise I followed the recipe.
Not gonna lie mate it was bland at first. Then I added extra whiskey and GAGGED! But after brewing it in the teapot for a bit and adding a bit more honey it was quite nice. I love whiskey but the ones I own don't seem to work in toddys. The cinnamon and honey saved the day. Jamie said 3 minutes to brew. Nope. Waaaayyyy longer. Otherwise it's a waste of spices.
Maybe I'm just bad at toddys. But I'm not giving up just yet! Next challenge, The Manhattan!
Continuing on my quest to make sure the booze I bought doesn't go to waste (seriously alcohol in Australia is so expensive), today I made a Hot Toddy using a recipe by the YouTube channel How To Drink.
I like it. Not gonna lie the whiskey taste is strong but the bitters hit you at the end and leave a nice after taste. This is definitely for people who like whiskey. If you wanna make this use a whiskey you like. This is NOT a "let's use the cheap stuff cause you won't taste the alcohol" drink.

Love this photo I took some years ago... not so much the >Red< Label in it, but it's still whisky, the best kind of alcohol 🤣 I imagine the history of a young girl who lost her innocence too soon, falling into the self-destruction world...running alone around the world with just 3 things: a piece of hope/ an attachment to her innocent side (represented by the bear); a drug/ an addiction to ease her pain (represented by whisky bottle); and a protection from bad people or even from herself/ a suicidal mind/life (represented by the gun). And the sheet music in the second photo is about her huge love for music. It all really represents me. This is me 💋
