Bamboo | Cocktail Party

Bamboo

The Bamboo is an antique gem with a surprising twist – it has a split base, and no base spirit! It’s smooth and easy to drink, without the high alcohol content of other spirit-forward drinks.

Our favorite version of the Bamboo recipe comes from master mixologist Joaquín Simó. He adds a mere teaspoon of simple syrup – it’s a subtle tweak, but it opens up the flavors of the sherry and vermouth and adds a little bit of texture. Simó calls for a rich (2:1) simple syrup. If you have 1:1 syrup, you can add a little more, or just use the amount stated in the recipe for a slightly less sweet drink.

The sherry you choose should be a very dry one, like a Fino. If you do use a sweeter sherry, you may wish to adjust or omit the simple syrup.

clean, straightforward app

This is a clean, straightforward app that allows you quick access to find drinks to make based on ingredients that you have. I love it because the UI is intuitive and the drink selections are organized into subcategories. If you're looking to make your parties better or just learn how to make a new aperitif/nightcap, this app is for you.
