Do you find that depending on the bitters used it can turn your cocktail or change the flavor over time?
@HungryHungryDude
2 жыл бұрын
I don’t know I have never had one last long enough! But in all seriousness, the only type of bitters that I have had intensely “bloom” in the batch so far have been the spicy ones, such as habanero bitters. For reasons that I can’t quite explain it seems as though, they will build in spiciness over time. I have even spoken with bitters makers over the years & they knew exactly what I was talking about. Yet no one seems to know the reason why the perception of spice seems to increase. Anyone out there have any thoughts on this?

Once you batch it and seal the bottle, does it have to go straight in the fridge or is it safe to place on the shelve for display?
@BartenderAtLarge

You can leave it on the shelf if you would like. The only downside would be the risk of over-dilution once poured over ice, since the liquid would be room temp. However, you could fix this by leaving the water out of the batch altogether. Cheers!

Is there any reason why you couldn't batch a Sazerac or Improved Whiskey Cocktail? Would the amount of water stay the same through all of them? How would you recommend handling the Absinthe? Just include a little bit of it, or do a wash each time?
@BartenderAtLarge
2 жыл бұрын
You could totally do that. The Sazerac would be the exact measurements as this for the most part, except just with rye and Peychaud’s instead of bourbon and Angostura bitters. But you might want to kick up the water a touch, as the water content on this was built with the drink being served over ice. Also, I would still do the absinthe rinse on each glass, as that provides an aromatic component in the glass that you can’t really recreate in the batch. Let us know how it comes out!

There is no reason why it would go bad, but it may start to change after a time. I have never had one even approach becoming unpleasant however. Some batched cocktails arguably get better when aged in glass. Manhattans and Negronis are couple of examples. Difford’s Guide had an article on it about 10 years ago I believe. Best way to find out is to try aging some in glass and see if -or how- they change at the 3 month, 6 month and 9 month + mark. The only trick is keeping me from drinking them before that 🤣

I love batching Cocktails and when using super juice you can even batch ones with citrus a day or two in advance without any issues. Great episode as usual. What I would have loved to hear though is the thought process behind the amount of water you added for dilution. I think knowing that would help to extrapolate the template to other cocktails 🤗
@BartenderAtLarge

Oh man! Water content is a heavy topic for some people in the bar world. We went just a touch low on the dilution here to help give folks wiggle room on keeping the drink from getting too watery. Especially because we don’t know what kind of ice they will be serving it with.
