This has got real "A cauliflower is nothing but a cabbage with a college education" energy.

They're just a Four Loko for pussies.

I'll take three.

Never heard of espresso martinis but lol.

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It's a thing!

[–] AnagrammadiCodeina@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

Its an IBA official cocktail. Like "Manhattan" or "Negroni"

I guess my espresso absinthe martini is the one that did psychedelics when they studied abroad.

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Got a recipe for that? Sounds interesting

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Place a couple ice cubes in the glass first. Then,

  • 15 g absinthe, stir till opaque
  • 20 g cocchi Americano
  • 10 g grand Marnier
  • 5 g hazelnut syrup
  • double shot of espresso (mine is dialed in at 36 grams)

Admittedly, it's a bit light on the absinthe.

I also recommend using a German/Austrian absinthe if possible.

I call it "the early bird gets the wormword" but I'm not too inlove with the name.

Yeah, it's all in grams.

It's just a very small increment so it's more useful than ounces for me (maybe this goes back into the whole study abroad thing, although I never did that).

And even though it's all liquid, I find it a lot easier to measure by weight than using a measuring cup or jigger.

Especially if making fresh espresso, I'm going to dial in my shot by weight anyway so I don't make bitter espresso. So I'll have a cheap scale that is accurate within 0.01 grams at the ready.

Fair enough, thank you for explaining!

[–] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, espresso, Martini and absynth

[–] sadcoconut@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Took me longer than I'd care to admit to figure out Red Bull vodka is another name for vodka Red Bull.

[–] nonearther@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The comparison makes no sense whatsoever

[–] Johnhones@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They both mix alcohol(downer) and caffeine(upper)

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

It's just a joke honey bunny.

TIL some people call vodka-e red bull vodka

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

Vodka-e? Vodka-energy? I don't think something like that would allowed where I'm from anymore

[–] MissJinx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Vodka with super chilled Red bull cranberry. So many amazing summer nights. That's why I lost my iphone on a porta potty and was so fucked up I thought someone stole it, and then kept parting until the morning no fucks given.

How come? They taste nothing like each other and the effects on my body are also different
