Daily MCO Drink #745: CHAN CHAN, made with 45ml Bacardi Reserva Ocho rum, 10ml St Germain Elderflower liqueur, 10ml Dolin Dry vermouth, 15ml lime juice, 5ml simple syrup, 3 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters, shaken over ice and strained. Rum and elderflower go pretty well together, I must say, and the addition of dry vermouth makes this a bit drier and less sweet. Not bad.

Daily MCO Drink #742: COVADONGA, made with 45ml Campari, 30ml Dolin Rouge vermouth, 30ml orange juice, 10ml grenadine syrup and 5 dashes Angostura Aromatic Bitters, shaken over ice and strained. Wow, a base of Campari and a whopping FOVE dashes of bitters means the grenadine is actually balanced out and the orange juice gives it a nice fruity backbone. This Trader Vic drink is actually one that sounds bad but turned out quite good. #tipsyturvycocktails #dailymcodrink #tipsyturvyliqueur #campari #dolin #angostura #mytipsyturvy https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb7zLkmpG_y/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daily MCO Drink #725: ST PATRICK’S DAY, made with 50ml Tullamore DEW Irish Whiskey, equal 10ml each of Green Chatreuse, Giffard Menthe-Pastille, lime juice and skmple syrup, 1 dash absinthe, shaken over ice and strained and topped with a splash of Perrier sparkling water. Happy St Patrick’s Day! This recipe by Simon Difford pretty much uses everything green I had (except melon liqueur, and my mint liqueur is the white type), and I even used Perrier to fit the green theme LOL. It’s actually not bad despite the colour, though there’s a lot going on - mint, herbal, citrus, and that hint of anise and good hit of whiskey. SLÁINTE! #tipsyturvycocktails #dailymcodrink #tipsyturvywhisky #tipsyturvyliqueur #mytipsyturvy #stpatricksday #irishwhiskey #whiskey #irishwhiskeycocktails #cocktails #stpatricksdaycocktails #tullamoredew #chartreuse #giffard #perriermy https://www.instagram.com/p/CbM1N5Tpqen/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daily MCO Drink #712: BRAIN HEMORRHAGE, made with 15ml Mathilde Peche liqueur, 10ml Arran Hold cream liqueur floated on top, and 5ml grenadine syrup poured from high enough into the shotglass so tjat it goes through the cream liqueur to create that ‘blood and brains’ effect. Looks better than it tastes, though using a good peach liqueur definitely helps. Plus Arran Hold is always good. The grenadine though. Gah. #tipsyturvycocktails #dailymcodrink #tipsyturvyliqueur #cocktails #cocktailshots #mytipsyturvy #arran #arrangold #mathildepeche https://www.instagram.com/p/Cart2gJJ00G/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daily MCO Drink #696: YELLOW PARROT, made with equal 20ml parts of absinthe, Yellow Chartreuse and Giffard Abricot du Rossillon liqueur, shaken over ice and strained. I’d been making so many drinks from Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book that I decided to just go ahead and biy a copy LOL. Wasn’t expecting to like this one but the absinthe and apricot liqueur actually go really well together with the herbal Chartreuse binding the aniseed and apricot flavours together nicely. #harrycraddock #tipsyturvycocktails #dailymcodrink #tipsyturvyliqueur #mytipsyturvy #absinthe #giffard #chartreuse https://www.instagram.com/p/CaCvfZ6JuAY/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daily MCO Drink #693: TRIUMPH OF POMPEII, made with 45ml Lillet Rosé, 20ml Fernet Branca, 30ml grapefruit juice, 10ml simple syrup, shaken over ice and strained into highball glass with clear ice stick from @isipadu_icecompany, topped with soda water. Adapted from a recipe found in Difford’s Guide and created in 2012 by Tyler Wang at No. 9 Park in Boston, Apparently inspired by yesterday’s drink, the Rome Is Burning cocktail by Milk & Honey. It’s interesting how a drink evolves eh? Yesterday’s cognac heavy drink is now a lovely fruity low ABV highball with lovely aromatic notes from the Lillet (the original uses Americano Bianco) and herbal bitterness from the fernet. #tipsyturvycocktails #dailymcodrink #tipsyturvyliqueur #tipsyturvywine #lillet #fernetbranca #mytipsyturvy https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7Ctbwpn-_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Daily MCO Drink #684: WHITE TIGERS, made with 60ml Boulard Grand Solage Calvados, 22.5ml Galliano L’Autentico, 1 dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters, 1 egg white, shaken over ice and strained. The Difford’s Guide recipe I adapted this from specifies Using Liquor 43, a Spanish vanilla liqueur, bit I didn’thave any so I substituted it with Galliano. The result was ok, but I’m not a big fan of the colour nor the murkier texture the egg white brings. Also, which part of this drink actually looks like a white tiger??? #tipsyturvycocktails #tipsyturvyliqueur #tipsyturvybrandy #calvados #mytipsyturvy #dailymcodrink #angostura #galliano https://www.instagram.com/p/CZhSJ5qpmDG/?utm_medium=tumblr
