I first tried a margarita just over a year ago and I've found different sources to adjust it to my liking but I find the tequila is overwhelming a lot of the time.
Yesterday I had a margarita that wasn't my own; I ordered a margarita at a restaurant and now I understand the love for them, it was delicious; however the menu said they use agave syrup and there was no mention of any sort of triple sec which made the flavours a lot more balanced, so I ordered some agave syrup and got a bottle of tequila to try it all again. Is triple sec a necessity or can I use agave syrup?
A lot of tiki recipes (including the classic Mai Tai, and some more obscure ones like the Yellow Bird) will call for either triple sec or an orange curaçao. Is Cointreau a suitable substitution for either? I know it’s basically the “original” triple sec, as it’s what most fancy places use for their margaritas, but how does it hold up in tiki?
Just realized I only have 15% triple sec.
Will it being this weak ruin my tiki drinks or does it not matter?
Hi! I'm new to mixology, trying out some drinks from time to time at home, and stumbled upon a question while making a Mai Tai. IBA recipe asks for 15 ml Curaçao, but I only have Triple sec and Cointreu at hand. Is there a significant difference between them? Do I need Curaçao at my home bar too?
Here, hold this for a sec...

Hope we're all doing well out there today, wherever and whenever that may be. Figured I'd try to throw something together after some comments on this thread gained some traction yesterday. Seemed like it got buried a bit, and after a couple requests to do a post and maybe turn it into a DD I honestly figured someone else would run with it and I was just stoned flinging shit at a wall anyways.
But it keeps diggin' at me...
u/roverkad28 has already put together a solid post (with credit to u/mauerAstronaut )on several delisted companies exhibiting eyebrow-raising behavior, and more eyebrow-raising stuff in the comments from u/I_DO_ANIMAL_THINGS, everyone's favorite Pomeranian, and others. I remember reading a post and commentary awhile back about NWAU, funny how things keep coming back around. Some might say, even, cyclically xD
A coupe of posts by u/Dismal-Jellyfish, one from about a month ago here, and one from about 3 months ago here, touch on the upcoming 9/28 rule 15c2-11 amendments briefly as well, but didn't gain much traction unfortunately.
*insert obligatory he was early but not wrong meme here*
Soooo a bunch of good work getting done, dat Ape hivemind doe. Now I'll try to coagulate my disconnected comments from yesterday into something a touch more cohesive, while trying to connect some elusive dots. But most likely I'll just end up asking more questions, while running out of crayons and subsequently get lost wandering around looking for an adult.
It started off with a quick semi-rhetorical question that I answered myself and was followed then by very quick, very stoned stone
... keep reading on reddit ➡My gf is allergic to citrus so she has to have artificial citrus juices if anything Is there maybe a more artificial triple sec or an alternative to triple sec I can use? When it comes to spirits like Cointreau, Blue Curaçao or Dry Curaçao as well does distillation in some way help make the citrus less intense? Which I know would defeat the purpose of using orange but I'm curious nonetheless
Do you guys know of any triple sec brands that are unsafe? Have you ever had an issue with triple sec? Curious about margaritas with unspecified brands of “triple sec” and safety level of consumption.
Za one koji neznaju Triple Sec je specifičan žestoki slatki liker. Dobiva se iz destilata posebne vrste sitne naranče. Ugl super je za koktele i jedini koji sam vidio u Hrvtaskoj je Cointreau, a i njega je jako teško naći. Jel možda netko kupovao da me može uputiti u pravom smjeru
recently i’ve been wanting to branch out and try more drinks like margaritas and stuff. however a lot of those seem to have triple sec in them, and i can’t find much information on if that would be okay to drink with a peanut/tree nut allergy. does anyone know if it’s safe?
