I can make an Old Fashioned with the best of them, but I much preferred the dryer nature of this as well as I've never been a fan of the gritty/syrupy evolution of a traditional Old Fashioned, although I know that can be a lot of the appeal. I will definitely be this as a new go to however. Also, any 'bartender' that has to look up how to make an Old Fashioned... isn't a bartender. Let's be honest with each other.

The difference in dash size in relation to how full the bottle is has more to do with the compressibility of liquid vs air than the velocity of the liquid. Gas is compressible whereas liquid is not. When there is more airspace in the bottle there is more of a cushion of air to allow more liquid to escape.

I had to make this with Grand Marnier because the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is a joke, so dry curaçao isn't available in PA. I liked this one ok. My wife put it well: "It's like an old-fashioned, but the bottom fell out," and I'm inclined to agree. The brandy base does give it that grapey flavor, so there is some nice complexity to it, but I do feel like I miss that bottom end. I make my old-fashioned with .25 oz of 2:1 demerara syrup, so not terribly sweet. I'm almost inclined to try this served up, just so I'm thinking of it as something other than an old-fashioned, and thus it might land differently.

I'd argue that the size dash is not related to the velocity of the liquid, but the volume of the air in the bottle. The pour will continue until the vacuum in the bottle equals (about) the pressure exerted by the liquor on the orifice. The Japanese dash will vary with volume, just like Ango bottle. We need a physics guru to run some calcs or something. And I'd absolutely agree about the dry vs. Sweet. A sip of Luxardo and a sip of Heering back to back is all thats needed to tell the difference.

@andreirazoare50703 жыл бұрын
My assumption was that the 'tight' and 'loose' dash was a result of air pressure. The less air there is in the bottle, the easier a vacuum is created when the bitters are dashed. The dash becomes loose when the ratio of air to bitters displaced increases. Thats why you can slowly turn a full dashing bottle upside down and not much will come out, or you can get controlled drops to garnish cocktails containing egg white. However if you slowly turn an emptier dashing bottle upside down, you'll get more of a flow. Same also applies to 'cutting' when using a speedpourer on a bottle of spirits. If it's less than a quarter full, you're going to bathe your hands and jigger in alcohol! :)

question on the dasher, you say the Japanese dasher is so nicely measured in it's output, but even with a standardized opening, wouldn't the force of which you dash cause fluctuations in the amount of bitters that are expelled, as well as the differences in fluid dynamics from a dash from a bottle at rest and a bottle that is inverted already and the liquid being in motion.
