Trying to get trending in Canadian Bluesky now, then? You can be right that *you* don't like Montreal. Just don't try to speak for the rest of us.

Presumably a riff on the Army & Navy cocktail? I've never really liked that one, maybe I'll like the Mexican Navy better. www.liquor.com/army-navy-co...
You’ll Go Nuts for This Creamy Gin Sour Riff
The almond syrup orgeat lends rich, nutty flavor to this Gin Sour riff.

Shocked, shocked I am, that all those badly-rendered people are white.

I've had to adjust my judgementalness on this matter now that I'm in Canada.

Is Black Manhattan a riff, a sibling, or a cousin?

That was my first thought. Although there's an argument to be made that the first Manhattan might have been created when a bartender subbed vermouth - a sweet & bitter thing - for the sugar and bitters in a Cocktail/Old Fashioned. Which sounds like a riff to me.

Not disagreeing, but curious what pairs of drinks would qualify as cousins, if any? What would make something a riff vs a cousin?

Yeah, I did 2 oz rum, 3/4 oz lime, 1 tbsp sugar, but I'm going to knock it back to 2 tsp next time.

There's something about Bacardi I just can't stand, and I think a lot of people agree and it's why they think they don't like rum, because Bacardi is often the only rum they've ever had. Unfortunately, Havana Club isn't an option for people in the US.

For this one I did maybe a 5 second stir, then put the rum in and stirred that a bit too, then shook. Just to be on the safe side. Are you using superfine or regular, @davidwondrich.bsky.social ? I only had regular.
