Be careful using ChatGPT for historic cocktail recipes. It often gets them wrong. My most recent interchange researching Chicago Fizz is a good example. I drilled down, teaching it by providing documentation of its errors. Eventually it learned, & I found source of its bias.

Poured Chateau de Ribebon 2019 for steak dinner tonite. Bargain #Bordeaux Supérieur wine (<$7 @CostcoWine), balanced #merlot w/cab sauv & franc, rustic, medium body, drink now, let breath. #bargainwine #Bordeauxwine #bargainbordeaux
@QSDistillery Will give this a try...
What makes red vermouth red? Not its color, which is more auburn brown. Likely so-called because its Italian moniker rosso means red, but generally not made from red wine grape. Rather, white wine flavored w/botanicals & sweetened w/caramelized sugar, giving it its darker color.
Recipe translation: in a mixing glass, with 2-3 lumps of ice the size of a nut, measure: 55% gin, 10% lemon juice, 15% orgeat (almond) syrup, 20% triple sec. Frost rim. Strange, specifies amount of ice, but percentages of other ingredients. My interpretation: convert to ml.
@LibationLegacy Okay, so I made it! Very easy to drink, actually, reasonably balanced!
@TRidesmith @LibationLegacy Hey this is a pretty porny cocktail. That rim looks like cocaine but the liquid definitely looks like something else you might find in a bordello!
@LibationLegacy Especially with that sugar frosting of the glass rim, which is clearly necessary for the presentation!
@QSDistillery This brandy reminds me of an Armagnac. Perhaps because it is pot distilled with just a few plates, like that French brandy. It’s distilled from a wine from Vidal blanc grapes, bred originally as a substitute for traditional Cognac grapes, but popular in northern US for ice wine.
@RepThomasMassie Because, moron, they slow down contagion and reduce severity of symptoms and deaths.
@NBSaphierMD Data does indicate it is more virulent in the whole population, including children.

It's been more than a year since the bartenders at @QSDistillery in Riverside shook up cocktails for a thirsty public. But the craft distillery's cocktail bar will be back in business on weekends beginning July 24. rblandmark.com/2021/07/13/riv…
@whiskytip @QSDistillery @TaylorCope1982 @Ardbeg @LagavulinWhisky @Laphroaig Indeed
@QSDistillery @TaylorCope1982 @Ardbeg @LagavulinWhisky and @Laphroaig much preferred instead
@WhiskiedWander @Laphroaig This is exactly my take on it. The CS Laphroaig is one of the few #caskstrength scotches I will drink without diluting.
Professor of Potables retweeted
Met an older gentleman at the bar tonight. He gave me his card. After he gave me his card, he said, “it’s easier to hand this to the bartender than explain what I want.” I’m a little in love right now.
