Thanks! I don’t do much cocktail content, but I appreciate it!

There’s a fair bit of ok tasting bask / brannvin, not my goto spirit, but had enough to know its not bad. Malort (at least in my limited experience) is so far out of the flavor profile of what I have tried though. I also don’t know how it becoming more pickle brine-y makes it better, because I have tried doing a pickle back with malort instead of whiskey… And I almost puked.

But yeah, the pepper infusion improves it by a lot. As far as peppers go, I’ve tried jalapenos, habanero, Serrano, birds eye chillies, and some dehydrated ghost peppers from a friends garden. So far, the birds eye have been the best though.

Dehydrated mango slices comes in a close second as far as the infusions go

Yeah, I also used to like AvE’s tool teardowns, I felt he did a good job explaining the little things you wouldn’t think about, where companies cut costs, and if those cost/perf tradeoffs were done in a smart way or if it would bite you.

Enter covid, and he’s ranting about US politics and trucker convoys. Unsubscribed and haven’t watched him since, tbh the channel was going downhill before then, but that was the straw that broke the camels back.

Sad to hear he kept up with the bad views, but not surprising.
