Or just make your choco-mint-mango-tini without the added expense of vodka to begin with. It'll still taste the same . . .
Lyle's Golden Syrup. Thin it out with a little warm water to make it easier to incorporate into a cocktail and it is fantastic. I use it with a house-made pecan-rye . . . ummmm . . .
Great, now I have to clean drool off my keyboard . . .
I have noticed on some cocktail menus, the bartenders are using powdered egg white in their sours, fizzs and what have you. I wonder if it has the same properties as true egg white when shaken in a drink? Those squemish about using egg in a drink can also try the pasteurized eggs that are now at market.
In Florida -- the Gator's Dockside in Lake Mary, FL, just added a basked of fried kosher dills to their menu. They were about 2-inch rounds, between 1/8 and 1/4 inch thick, fried quickly in a flavorful batter and still crisp inside, served with a cup of ranch dressing. We really enjoyed them, even if they sat a bit heavy afterward. But they were the highlight of the meal, and went wonderful with a pitcher of Yuengling...the dill flavor lasted quite a while on the palate.
Gator's Dockside also has EXCELLENT chicken wings, cooked dry-fried, batter-fried, or grilled, and tossed in a variety of sauces. Service is par for the course for a neighborhood sports bar.
Tony Packo's in Toledo, Ohio, offers their original pickles and peppers deep fried, with an assortment of dips (ranch, salsa, or spicy ketchup). The pickles are a spicy dill, but personally, I'd rather eat the fried pepper pieces and leave the fried pickles to my dinner companions!
Best fried dill pickles at Quarry House Tavern in Silver Spring!
The best place in Pensacola, FL for fried pickles is The Oar House!!
Bernie's Southern Bistro in Portland, Oregon makes great fried pickles and fried green tomatoes
My first time (with fried pickles) was at the Crazy Horse Saloon in Nashville, TN. The ones at Cheeseburger in Paradise can't match them!
Truly easy to make and totally worth heating up the fryer. I worked at Cane Creek Seafood in Hattiesburg, MS in the 90's and we went through tons of these. Simply drain dil hamburger chips, dredge in mixture of equal parts corn flour and finely ground corn meal, shake off excess, and fry until light golden brown. This produces a "frickle" that is not overly thick with breading.
In Vancouver BC [yes, yes, it's nowhere close to the east coast...]
Mr. Pickwick's Fish and Chips on Denman street does gorgeous deep fried dill spears to go with their delicious and rather posh take on F&C.
I'm having trouble believing Restaurant Eugene was on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. It is an upscale restaurant...
That said, Fox Bros does serve up some mean fried pickles. I gained five pounds working where I could snack on them all the time.
