The first video of yours that I stumbled on was the Monster Hunter one you did a few months back, and I found myself so intrigued. I was always the "drinks" guys at parties with friends; so I started making some of your recipes for those friends and at home for my girlfriend. She loved them and realized how much fun I was having. A few months back I got certified for Mixology and I have been loving every moment of learning new drinks and serving them up for patrons and loved ones alike. Thanks for inspiring me so much over these past few months. 😊

Not ten minutes before starting this episode, on a whim I mixed up a shot of Mr. Black and absinthe. My initial thought was that I wanted to enjoy some Mr. Black, but I wanted to spice it up, and I was going to try it with some orange liqueur, but then I saw my absinthe and had a revelation. The result was that I have never tasted a more licorice beverage in my life. I think that there's something to be found in the mixture. Of all the licorice-like liqueurs out there, I don't know that absinthe is the best to do this with, but there is definitely something to be found in the combination.

I discovered the Margarita Negra some years ago and its a personal favourite. It was taught to me as a 'South of the Border' and used Kahlua for the coffee element. I agree that the Tequila can get lost though. I tried Reposado but I missed the fresh peppery-ness of blanco. Solution: dial up the Tequila to 2.5 shots (or even 3 if its not a school night!)

Depending on the coffee and how it's been roasted you'll get the more floral/green/fruity flavor notes so that's why it's amazing when you get those notes and add citrus from lemon/lime/orange.

As somebody who's spent his share of time contemplating the state of the world, seated at the iced coffee place on the sidewalk near the Grand President Hotel on Soi 11 I can tell you the the best way to stir your coffee is to jam the straw to the bottom of the drink, plug the top, lift it, then release your thumb. It's slow but you're in Bangkok and it's that time of day when we drink coffee so you've got the time to do this right.
