It's very tasteful, though I think it's sweeter than the graphic says. Maybe a 6 would be better.

Thanks, Olga. I agree! I've moved to a 6 for sweetness.

No link to elderberry liqueur provided, and all I really know about elderberries is that apparently my father smells of them?

Give us a steer, Simon. Circling the possibility of — whisper it —figuring something out for myself. (For clarity: this would be bad and should not be allowed to happen.)

No problem. I've added a link to Rothman & Winter Orchard Elderberry Liqueur.

Add ice and other ingredients then THROW (strain from a height into a second shaker).

I think correct is "second shaker" not "second strainer".

Thanks for bringing to my attention. I have switched to our newer style, "How to make", which links to instructions on how to throw.

Correct is Augustinerbräu not Hugustinerbräu.

Many thanks, Dietmar. There was much on this page that needed fixing from 2012.

I'm looking forward to trying this when watching a game or two (supporting England in the US of course). But surely this should be called a VARtini?

Thanks, Richard. You're not the only one to suggest this. Hence, I've changed the name to what I should have called it in the first place.

Very nice! I feel like I'm getting the right amount of duck from it. Used 20mL Punt e Mes in place of the vermouth, Evan Williams BiB, and Old Forester 100 proof rye.

Point of clarification: it should read 3 drops saline rather than 3 dashes, correct? If not, I woefully under-salted.

Many thanks for bringing to my attention, Malcolm. I've corrected to 3 drops of saline.

Hi Jimmy. Many thanks for messaging. Please see the fixes I've implemented above.

Is this Difford’s or nah?

No. Not my recipe.

It’s saying I like really boozy drinks and I’d like to try to lower it.

I will schedule our IT team to work on introducing the ability to edit this. Perhaps, in the short term, you may want to uncheck "Show My Taste Profile".

How do i chnge my taste profile on my account?

Your Taste Profile is automatically calculated from that displayed on the cocktails you favourite. You can’t edit this (perhaps something worth us enabling?), but you can stop it from displaying. To do this:
1. Click on your name at the top of the screen to open Your Menu.
2. Click Edit Profile.
3. Click “edit” for My Taste Profile.
4. Uncheck “Show My Taste Profile”.
Done!

First of all I want to apologize. Many of my cocktail tellings, when the first are ok. But it seems that after 3 or 7 cocktails my spelling bee is fumigated and no longer able to humm or speak properly, since I am not a native speaker I do my best. Sorry for that.
Ok, this is strange. Very strange. In Mexico we do not have Advocaat but we have rompope that it seems is in the vein. This is very good: in the way of a lemon pie, bitter but sweet -I didn't ad the extra sugar syrup- since the rompo-advo is very sweet already. Very herbal too, and generally lovely. Maybe I will never do it again, since I want to do each and everyone of the recipes in the Diffordsguide before I die.

I'm keen to try Rompope, but I've not seen it in the UK. Made with eggs, milk, vanilla flavouring, and rum, it does indeed sound similar to Advocaat, which is made with egg yolks, sugar and vanilla with brandy and neutral spirit. The key differences being the base spirits and the inclusion of milk in Rompope.

How do I set my Preferred Brand of chilled water?

Your choice of chilled water will dramatically affect this April Fool, so I have enabled the ability to add your Preferred Brand.

It doesn't say it... but something about the juice combo gives grapefruit juice vibes... "Reading " used in a less literal sense. Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for clarifying. I worried I had a typo to fix.

Where i can buy this product online?

I was released on 1st June 2026 and, along with the other 2 Fee Brothers Fat Was products, could take a few months to be shipped around the world. We expect to have them available on Diffords.Shop by late summer.

Fresh and summery. I can't figure out why it reads "grapefruit juice" when it has none, but that's a nice little slice of alchemy. (FYI also excellent with good gin.... but isn't everything?)

Hi Heidi. I might be missing the obvious, but please can you direct me to where it says "grapefruit juice"?

The UK importer has told us they will be adding to their next shipment, so hopefully late summer 2026.

We will be selling on Diffords.Shop as soon as it is available.

Really excited to try these fat washes - is it known when these will be available to purchase in the UK?
