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

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

        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.

          But the joke here is also commenting on the vibe of an espresso martini in relation to a vodka redbull. The latter is seen as a bit more of a trashy drink while the former has a fancier vibe. I love an Irish coffee, but the metaphor would change to something like the Irish coffee being a vodka redbull that travelled europe during the winter.

          JD and coke has same sorta of vibe as the vodka redbull, but coke has a lot less caffeine.

          Not heard of Nutty Spaniards, googled 3 recipes and none had any caffeine mixer I could see. Red wine, sherry, almond mixer and orange bitters.

      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.
