Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Well, yes. I’m a bartender, and I’m gently working to introduce my customers and my co-workers to better ideas all the time. So, how about you? 000
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 25/07/2025Wrong question. The correct question is “are you talking to your peers and trying to correct them?” 100
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 13/07/2025I am writing up an Aperol Spritz while you are gone. You should drink several of them while on vacation, so you can validate my recipe. 050

Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Maybe a solid cocoa liqueur, or bittersweet chocolate shavings if we want the aroma instead of the flavor. 110
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 01/04/2025Banana, coffee, cocoa, dark rum poured over crushed ice as a tiki drink. 110
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 29/03/2025You are entitled to your opinion, even if it is wrong. ;) 210
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 24/03/2025My pleasure, Dr. Wade! I love recommending books about the history of booze of all stripes. 110
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Any Aperol Spritz fans out there? They’re pretty but way too sweet for my palate. Aperol’s website has them at a 3:2 ratio of Aperol to champagne; I tasted that and immediately flipped it to 2:3. Any ideas on how to elevate this sugar bomb? 220
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 04/03/2025Shopping the ingredients for a raspberry shrub for this week’s cocktail. Reading the news, gritting my teeth. Trying to escape the feeling I’m bartending on the deck of the Titanic. 2100
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 01/03/2025Swap in a nice unaged rum like Planteray 3 Star for the vodka next time, but this is pretty damn good. 010
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 26/02/2025I’ve done a smidge of research on the claim. Some said that Kate Moss was the supermodel, and she was underage at the time. Further research says that Kate Moss was 12 when the cocktail was created, so this is extremely unlikely. Still looking for the model. Bradsell took the name to his grave. 010
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 25/02/2025My current: 1/2 oz. Cocci Americano, 3 1/2 Boodles, 1 shake orange bitters, a bar spoon of Cointreau with a twist. Not precisely classic, but really good. 110
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 24/02/2025Workshopping a dirty martini for this weeks article. Last attempt was 1 1/2 oz olive brine, 5 muddled olives, 2 1/2 oz Tito’s. Color is wonderful, but unbearably salty and much olive flavor. Scaling it down to 1 oz brine, 3 olives, and olive oil infused vodka. How do you like your dirty martini? 310
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Not this brand, but I have tried other bottled cocktails and enjoyed them. Ohio’s liquor board is terribly restrictive, so it’s hard to explore some of the more interesting stuff. 010
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Neat vodka? My good man, there’s a thing called flavor, you should experience it sometime 010
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 19/02/2025It’s the cream that makes it muddy. Cut that and you’ll have something the color of a porn star martini. Actually, take the porn star martini as your inspiration here; cut out some of the superfluous touches like the rosemary and strawberry and serve it with a shot of sparkling juice on the side. 000
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 19/02/2025Bitters are at least 100 proof, but so little gets used in a drink that you can get away with a dash in an NA cocktail. 110

Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 13/02/2025It’s the pineapple juice. Pineapple can build a nice head when shaken. 110
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 07/02/2025I don’t suppose you’re considered taking the lightbulb out of its socket? 110
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 27/01/2025It’s a Blue Hawaii, and Harry Yee did it better. 110
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 25/01/2025Interesting. It’s the lime juice in the mai tai and the orgeat suspension that would be the main culprits in a bad frozen mai tai. You could chill the spirits in the freezer and add the orgeat and lime at service. Would the lime freeze better as super juice? 000

Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Sigh. If only. Hey, you want some bourbon out here? We've got a LOT. No Chartreuse or pear... anything, though. 100
Samurai Grog @samuraigrog.bsky.social · 17/01/2025Sigh. I love Death & Co's strategy, but so many of their recipes use liquors I'll never get my hands on in Ohio. 110
