Colour me disappointed too. Is that common for the drink recipes? There's "synergistic branding" ("Hey, common brand x of liquor who we are namechecking for $$$ mixes the best with recipe y") and then there's "buy our 'partners' exclusive ingredients or you're fucked" :rolleyes:

Pretty common I have noticed.  All the recipes I have checked usually always have at least a few ingredients that not only expensive but I will also probably never use them again so I have never made one. It was a cool concept but I am not that serious about my alcohol consumption.

 

There is a guy on Youtube named "Vinyl Rewind" that does reviews of all the albums and used to also make the drinks as well but I do not know if he still does.

I find the drink cocktails generally TOO unique for actually making out of a standard bar most people have in their homes. Don't get much value out of that but saving them for a rainy day hopefully. *shrug*

 

I have also found my inner / outer sleeve fit becoming very snug in the most recent AOTM. Small nitpick, but considering the card stock on the outers and printed inners, I believe it's a symptom of a quality package that has +25k units floating around.

Owl's Brew Wicked Green (tea, peppers, agave, citrus mix)... TFW the one uber-snobby cocktail store in town which carries over two dozen brands of bitters doesn't carry this stuff.

Laguna Salt Co. Lemon Sea Flake Salt (I figure cheapo pickling salt + homemade lemon peel flakes using a cheese grater or lemon powder could do the trick for this).

Yeah, both of these seem like things that could easily be substituted, which is why I was wondering what they were. People have to complain about something though, I guess.

 

Green tea infused with habanero, lemon and lime isn't crazy, nor is lemon salt. ::shrug::

I've recently been wanting to try a boulevardier. It's nothing crazy, (somewhat similar to a Manhattan, also often compared to a negroni) but I've never had one before. Surprisingly enough I don't have any campari stocked and I've been so sick the last few days drinking hasn't really been on my mind.

if if you're talking about a recipe for the substitute ingredients above it would just be trying to figure out a ratio you like involving those listed ingredients though.

This sounds delicious and will now replace VMP's cocktail pairing. But to clarify, I'm not typically a "pairing" type of guy; however, I do somehow have a problem finding new cocktail recipes that are to my liking.

 

Also, I forgot to mention that I got lucky and happened to have gotten a fantastic pressing, and the bass sounds incredibly rich.
