Hey folks! So I'm making a couple cocktails for Thanksgiving and I need some help. In Liquid Intelligence, there's a recipe for a Cafe Touba (Senegalese coffee drink) made with Coffee Zacapa (a milk-washed coffee rum liquor).
The recipe requires a rapid infusion of fresh ground coffee into aged rum, and it calls for 2 nitrogen cartridges in a .5L iSi siphon.
Question 1: I have the 1L iSi siphon. How many charges should I use?
Question 2: The standard recipe calls for a Djer syrup (cardamon+black pepper simple syrup). I plan on replacing that with a pineapple+black pepper simple syrup. How can I compensate for the added acidity that I want to introduce? Do I even need to? I plan on milk-washing the rum. Should I add a little cream to the cocktail to balance things out?
