Most recent episode release for #MonsterInAGlass #Reanimator was #RamosGinFizz and here is the information we discussed. Asking my audience: Does anyone personally like this #cocktail enough to order one for the flavor and not the presentation?

At the height of its popularity, bars that made the Ramos Gin Fizz hired many shaker boys to shake the cocktail for 5 minutes plus.

Earliest appearance of a standard Gin Fizz in a recipe book we found in Harry Johnson 1882. First reference to a Gin Fizz in anything was in 1878 in Washington DC's Evening Star

Myself and @libation-legacy.bsky.social discuss how the #Vesper is one instance when art made a drink. First in Ian Fleming's James Bond novel Casino Royale it survived to grace craft #cocktail menus during the cocktail revival

In this #MiaG #Reanimator #CorpseReviver @libation-legacy.bsky.social says it was a pick-me-up kind of #cocktail not just a party rejuvenator as discussed originally. Also a deeper dive into Lillet and why it tastes like new car smell

In the old #CorpseReviver episode of #MonsterInAGlass we learn that the #cocktail is not the name of a drink but a type of drink. Also the 19th century progressive movement that feared being buried alive

Lime, basil, peach syrup and a cayenne kick. This drink is so good; all of the flavors are welcome even when 3 of the 5 I usually prefer to pass on. This is my favorite matcha ever and it can be found at @nettarechi
