I always wanted to taste those bitter-heavy cocktails, so last night I tried the Alabazam.
Alabazam
- 1½oz Brandy
- 5mL lemon juice
- 5mL Curaçao (I used triple sec)
- 5mL Angostura Bitters
- 10mL Simple Syrup
It was really good, well balanced. I couldn’t taste any particular ingredient, but the spices from Ango gave a nice touch to the whole thing. It wasn’t overly sweet and I enjoyed it, but I thought it would be spicier.
This weekend I wasn’t able to perform my Sour Experiment, but it will be done by Friday.
I went to my grandpa’s house and picked some “Romãs”, so we will be doing homemade Grenadine!

Need to try this…we are enjoying the bitters-heavy drinks. Try a Seelbach, if yo haven’t already…good stuff.
Peychauds is really difficult to acquire here in Brazil. I bought a BitterTruth traveling kit and will play with my “different” bitters, later.
Wow, too bad. But you have dozens of Cachacas…we are jealous of that!
