What Are You Drinking Tonight?
I could have sworn there was a "what are you drinking tonight?" thread somewhere around here, but search is turning up nothing?
Well I'll kick off (this incarnation of?) this thread with:
I decided to feel classy tonight and picked up a cheapish bottle of Savory & James Amontillado. though now I have
Alan Parsons Project stuck in my head and a strange urge to watch Frasier.
Also, I picked up some Smuggler's Notch Distillery vodka; ABSOLUTELY fantastic, at least as good as any top-shelf I've tried, with the added bonus of being both local and cheaper than Belvedere (my brand-of-choice when I have the money (which is practically never)). Highly recommended.
Last night I drank vodka and lemon squash.
Tonight I think I'll have wine. Probs a sav blanc, but there's something going on with rieslings over here lately, so I'm going to have to do some research. I don't usually like them because they're a bit sweet for my palate, but the last couple I've had I could have sworn were closer to a verdelho or even a Chardonnay. Anyway, it's weird. Maybe it's the weather.
Yeungling Lager.
Cans.....but I pour them into one of my new beer glasses I got for xmas.
Earlier, I had one Victory Prima Pils and one Hop Devil.
Sitting on the front porch in a post moving glow of weariness. Long day. Feels nice.
whoops people reblogging posts from my "evil ex" on tumblr coming up on my dash
whoops still really raw emotional scars there
whoops her new beau emailed me last night about heavy shit when i didn't have any booze
alcohol: problem solved
#adventuresindrowningmyfeelings #donehereforthenight
(except to say that my turn-off-my-brain poison tonight is McGillicuddy's Root Beer liqueur and Smirnoff 100 proof, with Munich's Spaten Brewery's "Optimator" and Champlain Orchards' Honeycrisp Ice Cider (basically weak Applejack made in the traditional freeze-a-barrel fashion) to chase)
Last night I was drinking fizzy water.
Tonight I will be drinking fizzy water.
Rinse and repeat.
tonight I started out with Brewdog's
Paradox Springbank
and now i'm on to Brouwerij Van Steenberge's
Piraat AleNot tonight, but New Year's.
I was gifted a bottle of another fine 'Kentucky Vodka'.
:greenface times infinity. Plus 9.

If you ever get the chance, don't take it.

It ain't just me. Check out this review of Sir Robert's London Dry Gin, over at
The Drunk Pirate.
Burnett's also makes a maple syrup flavored vodka, yes, that's what I said.
It even looks evil somehow.
But then I have been working on horrible visualisations for alcohol...
I have drinked a can of Caffiene-Free Diet Coke tonight. Naughty.
Am going downstairs right now to gget some fizzy water. It's just tricky getting the balance right - with just one 330ml can inside me I will wake up dehydrated. With a couple of glasses of fizzy water I won't, but half a glass too many and I'll be up to the loo a couple of times, setting off a chain reaction of bad cat behaviour in the house and denying me much needed sleep.
I have some rose water to flavour it with.
I was getting tired of lemon.
I guess plain water is too blah for many people? I love plain old H2O. But I like it cold. I would fill up several bottles with filtered water ( we have a system at home) and leave them in the fridge. Anyways, I had a glass of fresh grapefruit juice earlier.
Plain water is fine with me. Lemon cuts the flat, metallic taste when chemo is messing with my taste buds, but otherwise plain is good. Fresh juices are the best! I love apple/pear/ginger.
Jacobs Creek Sem Chardonay for me tonight. It's very nice if I do say so, and only $7/bottle. A bargain.

Are you talking about
fresh apple/pear/ginger juice?? How do get fresh apple, pear juice? I used to cut apples in tiny pieces and put it in a blender and blend with water or apple juice. Not fond of the slushie-ness of it. What's ginger juice? Or are you talking about ginger tea? Just wondering.
I have a juicer - not a deluxe one, but it does some juices fairly well. I use chunks of apple and pear and a slice of peeled fresh ginger, just throw it all in the hopper. It's delicious.
That does sound good. Gotta try that one day. One apple, one pear, a slice of ginger?
Two each of apples and pears, plus a slice of ginger (peeled, thickness to taste).
It's wonderful.

Gotcha! Will grab some pears tomorrow. Thanks!
Do you have access to a juicer? I don't know that it'll taste the same in a blender. The texture will definitely be different with the pulp included.
I have a juicer. :)
And she's not afraid to use it.
Saturday night I had a can of Coconut water.
"But I thought coconut was on your Yuck list?" you say.
Well.... I'm not fond of it as a flavour (Thai food, coconut cake etc) but I will eat the occasional Bounty.
And I know I read somewhere that it has health benefits, so I thought I would try it.
It was lovely! The water itself was not overpowering, just a fresh taste really. There were coconut bits in, which were a little disconcerting at first, but I persuaded myself it was like drinking orange juice with bits in. Not like drinking off milk. So it was okay.
Not cheap at 59p per 330ml can (standard drinks can size) but I'll get it again sometime.
Have had very little to drink today. I'll feel it tomorrow I know.
But I only really enjoy drinks cold, and it's been SO DAMN COLD today I couldn't face it. Actually scrap that - had 3 x glasses water at school and a 500ml low calorie bottle.
Must make sure I chug some more water before bed. It'll wake me up at 04.00 but at least I'll feel good for it.
Mr Limey and I are doing an alcohol-free month from 10 January (well, the brass band Christmas dinner was on 9th, we're so busy gigging in December that we can never find a date that works for us all til January) to Valentines' Day. I tend to turn to herbal and fruit teas as a substitute drink in the evenings. Quite often I'll let them get quite cold, and I think I enjoy the taste of them more then. Have you tried brewing a fruit tea in advance and drinking it cold/chilled, Sundae?

Canada Dry ginger ale.
for the holidays they had it with cranberry and it was soooooooo good; but I procrastinated and didn't buy a case and now I'm stuck with plain ginger ale. Or unsweetened iced tea (Tradewinds is the best IMO) and I'm now hung up on buying Home City Ice at the grocery. I love the taste, I've been eating ice for about 3 months now and they're like tiny glaciers, each one a difference shape and size and when you get to the bottom of the bag, it's snow!!!!!!
I'm having Morning Detox Tea, and if I fancy a hot drink later in the day I have Nettle & Peppermint tea. Never really thought of having them chilled. I like to chug cold drinks, so a cup of cold tea wouldn't really hit the spot.
I will bear it in mind though.
I bought a couple of alcohol-free cocktails between Christmas and New Year. Grim. Sickly, sticky and nothing else to recommend them. Still (although they were fizzy) better for me than tramp juice.
Some of the Celestial Seasonings brand are nice, but pricy for herbal tea. Plain spearmint is nice, and I like nettle too.

does milk thistle come in tea form? I know it's good for your liver.
There's milk thistle in the Morning Detox, and I am taking the tablets too.
I think my liver is healing well, but I am erring on the side of caution - of course.
I got a 3 for 2 offer on the milk thistle so I'll be taking that until March at least!
I need to go to the docs for another blood test I think. Help keep me on the straight and narrow.
Oops, I've just ordered you some from Amazon, Sundae!
Oh you're so sweet.
No oops, I am getting along very well with it and I know it has a long shelf-life. I'll be grateful to receive it if it's too late to cancel and I certainly appreciate the kind thought.
limey - that is so sweet of you.
you're a good egg. Even if you are a Scotch egg ;)
Tricky wording there.
Limey by choice and location is a Scot. Anything referring to Limey is therefore Scots as opposed to Scotch.
But Scotch Eggs, Beef and Whisky are still correct.
It's a minefield I tell ye.
i finished off my jameson's last night and had some cheap vodka mixed with ambien. i'm still messed up!
Twil indicated an interest in Bloody Marys with dinner this weekend, so I got a bottle of Vodka Of The Gods (srsly. it's adequate. I avoided the Burnett's or whatever it is called, thanks Gravdigr) and a bottle of Trader Joe's Bloody Mary Mix. Also, salt pepper lime and celery. I followed the recipe, but they were not very good. I think that I should not have let the ice stay in the drink, but strain the drink instead (like the recipe says. oops). They were watery, not very tasty.
So. No more Bloody Marys. I'll find something to do with the remaining 16 oz of mix.

And anyway we want to see you.
Three birds and a cock, right?
Sundae, I apologise in advance for this ...
Or you could try a Bloody Mary the Russian way. Prepare a modest array of savoury snacks:these might be sliced dill pickles, rollmop herrings, good black bread and butter, for example. All ingredients to be chilled. Get two small shot glasses, SMALL ones. Get some very high quality tomato juice, the stuff that's so thick you can almost stand the spoon up in it and put a scant mouthful of this in each glass. Float 50ml of vodka on the top. Can you see where I might be going with this?
Breathe out, down the drink in one, take the snack item of your choice and lightly sniff it before eating it. Repeat the process after a short interval - though done right you will get a glow first time.
Note - no ice.

But that would mean letting those TSA thugs fondle my naughty bits. :mg:
Limes, I love the idea.
But I simply don't have a normal relationship with alcohol.
Your Bloody Mary would spark a craving which could only be doused by more alcohol, and the need is an accelerant.
I do love Big Tom though. Yummy with or without alcofrolics. Although when Terri and I found it in a local pub we always ended up having vodka doubles. Until Dave (her partner) came home. And when he heard we were in a pub he wanted to join us. And I kept up with him as he was catching up...
Good times. But only in parts. Life in general was pants,

yeah. That's no help at all. I recognize it's in fun, but you seriously CAN become cross addicted (I am) or substitute one harmful thing for another. Given my druthers I'd be a pillhead (no calories) but it's hard to score when you're a middle aged white woman with really good teeth. Plus, I'm used to USP certified drugs. Sex addiction is just as painful (I dated one) and exercise addiction or work addiction, while applauded by our sick society is just as destructive.
I say take up scratch-off lotto tickets. That should be safe. :D
Getting back to the theme of this thread - I'm about to go to the liqour store. Any suggestions?
sarge----wasn't it you who took ambien and vodka the other night?
Ginger Ale. Loads of ice.
NeuroTrim.
NeuroTrim is a refreshing, non-carbonated drink formulated to help promote healthy weight loss in individuals who are overweight. NeuroTrim contains a special form of fibre known as Amorphophallus konjac ("LuraLean®"). Compared to other fibres, LuraLean (also called Propol) is significantly more hygroscopic (water-absorbing) and dense, both factors contributing to its effectiveness. Only LuraLean glucomannan has been proven to recover its viscosity after entering the stomach, where it expands to many times its original size. This action is essential for the effectiveness of glucomannan. Other, impure sources of glucomannan breakdown in the stomach rendering them ineffective. LuraLean is the purest form of glucomannan available and the form of glucomannan studied in clinical research. In conjunction with a calorie restricted (sensible and balanced) diet and exercise program, NeuroTrim should be consumed 30 minutes prior to each major meal.
No, I don't believe the hype.
But it's better than booze.

You know when I was really depress a while back, I would either have a drink or smoke a cigarette so I can fall asleep. A deep cigarette inhale would make me dizzy enough to help shut down some thoughts otherwise I'd be up forever. After a while, it has become a habit. No drinks but I would still want a cigarette before bed. Weird, huh.
tonight:
sangria, frozen. (I'm moving stuff around the freezer to get the chicken and this was in the way. now it's in my glass, soon it will be in my belly. then it will be in the toilet. what?)
later, who knows. it depends on how good the sangria is (so far, really good).

I've taken Ambien a couple different times...both times the glass of water did more than the Ambien. The first time I took it, I had been awake for over 36 hours...I stared at the ceiling for four hours before getting up and saying 'Fukkit, on with the day.'
It is my experienced opinion that Ambien ain't worth shit.
:dunce:
I may have mentioned this before, but I once got carded for ginger ale. The cashier was a foreign exchange student who zeroed in on the "ALE" part. I handed my ID over before I could figure out why she wanted to see it, and she became very flustered when she saw I was not yet 21. Adding to the confusion was Kitsune (then boyfriend) teasing her that ginger ale was "weak stuff."
What I'm drinking is always water, Sprite, or ginger ale. I'm boring.

Sasnach
Ooops missed a page. That was intended for Limey
Sasanach? Isn't that an Englishman?
Yeah, limey is a brit living in Scotland. In the Gabaldon books, Jamie called Claire Sasnach. Claire was like limey.
The point is I'm ENGLISH and living in Scotland, that's what makes me a Sassenach. The Scots are Brits too.

I just like the way the word sounds in a brogue. I like the way you spell it better, too, Sassenach. Whats it mean? Nm.... Googled:
The Gaelic term for a Saxon. Survives in modern day Ireland and Scotland as a derogatory term for an English person.
Where I live the derogatory term for an English person is "bloody English". :)
Let me try to get this straight. Limey is a sassenach and that's similar to sasquatch?? Limey - what size shoe do you wear?
Note: This is only trying to make a joke about similar words. From the pictures I have seen of Limey, I know she is quite lovely
Size 10 US. What is a sasquatch?
Just googled it. Yes, we have sasquatch in the family tree. Both my brothers' feet are/were size 16 US ...
Limes! The tea arrived today!
I thought you meant you'd bought me tablets (which as I said I have plenty of).
I'm nearly out of tea though.
You angel.
And of all the people in the world, I know you'd never buy me fennel tea (which is a common one for weightloss/ cleansing/ liver detox.)
One of these days I really will write Cherry's List of Common Foods Which are Intolerable.
I'm sure it will be fascinating.
I've been waiting for a £3.20 cardigan from eBay. It's teal green and fluffy. I'm gutted. It was sent on 4th Jan. The seller has offered me a refund. I think she may have kept it for resale given the bargain basement price I got. Anyway, Dad was all excited on my behalf - the thought it had arrived. He was susrpised when I wasn't upset.
But hey, if you see a fluffy teal green cardigan, do wrestle the wearer to the ground and demand to see a proof of purchase.
And thank you. Very kind and much appreciated.
Fennel is disgusting! I think the tea contains mint and nettle, both of which you said you liked. I find herb teas are quite nice cold. But this evening I had a mug of cocoa. Proper cocoa :)

How do you get a continuous prescription for valium (or xanax)? The doctors at my clinic will not do it for me. All I want to do is take a half pill every now and then before bedtime to take the edge off a really bad day.

Shoot, I get 10 mgms of Ambien and 2 mgms of Clonopin everyday. I can get an increased dosage by just asking. The VA is turning us all into addicts.
Serious note - if you are out of Valuim, you can make a "Camp Hit" coctail from legal ingredients. Take a shot glass. Add 2 full doses of liquid Nyquil. Throw in 3-5 tablets of Melatonin. Open 4 capsules of Benadryl (100 mgm) and pour it in. I'm serious about this. This concoction was routinely used until they deployed the Combat Stress Teams

Sarge, you have specific indications for your meds. For most of us, ongoing scripts for benzodiazepines are a bad idea. They're Schedule 4 drugs, addictive, and the devil to get off. (Xanax is so bad - very short half-life - that many psychiatrists refuse to prescribe it at all.)
I was previously on a Xanax and Valuim regimen. I completely agree that the VA over medicates us and after almost 7 years, I do have a high tolerance. Plus, I shamefully admit to adding alcohol lately to enhance the effects. I am definitely a poor role model
Pico - that is a real concoction we used in 2005 in Al Anbar Province
It's not a matter of 'shameful', Sarge, but it's not safe. Please be safe, my friend.
My psych doc accidentally put me on it. I asked for it ONCE to come off a binge and he mistakenly thought it was a drug I took all the time. I get 90 10mg every month (I'm Rx'd 10mg three times a day as needed and I take all three of them every day- ) it was a fluke and I never corrected it. I've gotten them since July.
but, like everyone says, it's a bad idea. they don't really affect me that much--I joke with people in AA that I could never be 'roofied' because my tolerance is so astronomically high. 30mg of valium is like nothing to me. It just evens me out. Xanax IS a bad drug but ativan is okay. Klonopin is iff-y. When I was having a cancer chemo freak out I got klonopin and it settled me right the hell down and worked for about a week before I got used to it.
I get used to drugs in like, three days. God forbid I should ever really need something-they'd have to hit me with an animal tranq. and they usually don't want to do that. even with cancer I only got percocets 5/325. I should've gotten at least 10mg. If anything like that ever happens to me again I'm getting a pain team.

Ireland the only source of good sipping whiskies. :giant eyeroll:
AS I understand it, Scotch is smokier and heavier. Irish smooth and lighter.
[COLOR="Navy"]The difference between Irish whiskey and Scotch whiskies
· The big difference between Scotch and Irish whiskey is the distilling phase which is made twice with Scotch and three times with Irish, giving Irish whiskey a particular lightness
· Scotch whisky first allows the barley to sprout and then it is dried. Irish whiskey uses raw and malted barley while Scotch is entirely malted barley. (This is partly because there was an extra tax on malt in Ireland)
· Scotch barley is dried with peat smoke which gives the usual scotch aroma to whisky.
· Scotch is cask aged for at least 2 years, Irish at least 3 years.
· Irish whiskey is distilled three times in larger than normal copper "pot" stills. The pot stills and the extra distillation produce a uniquely delicate drink. Developing later, Scotch uses continuous process stills.
· The rural poor, in Ireland, made whiskey first. The logic is whiskey developed in a bread eating culture. You grow grain, mill it for bread and save some to sow next year's crop. In good seasons when you have extra, you make whiskey.
· The Irish invented it, but Scotland is the spiritual home of whiskey[/COLOR]

IF you read Outlander, it comes up a bit. I did the audio book, so I got the pronunciation of "uisge beatha" by Davina Porter. I have never seen a picture of Davina Porter, but I'm pretty sure I'd do bad awful things to her person if I got the chance.
She has one of those voices like Emma Thompson ( who stars as DanaC in my 'cellar reading voice in my head') the narrator from 'Stranger Than Fiction' Where Will Farrell is hearing the events of his life, narrated by an author writing her masterpiece, in his head.

Not all Scotch uses peat-smoked malted barley. The island malts tend to, the Highland (Speyside) whiskies tend to be lighter ...

endrunkening is a perfectly cromulent word.
I was at the VA again today. I had a very stern lecture on the effects of alcohol with certain meds especially in light that I have sleep apnea. Sigh, just when I started having fun.
Oh, after that scolding I didn't dare admit to the cigars
Moonshine
specifically,
See-7-Stars-Moonshine from the Batch 206 Distillery.
Delicious!

Water.
nah, neat; it just *looks* like water.
Nothing, but an old friend stopped by an gave me a quart of Apple Pie in a jar. Made with Shine.:bolt:
Apple Pie in a Jar Drink
"This tastes just like apple pie! Great in the autumn around a campfire or on a hay-ride. Put it in canning jars with rings and lids for that down-home country appeal."
INGREDIENTS:
1 gallon apple cider
1 gallon apple juice
6 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 cups white sugar, or to
taste
1 (1 liter) bottle 190 proof grain
alcohol (such as Everclear(TM
))
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place the apple cider, apple juice, cinnamon sticks, and sugar into a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, and discard the cinnamon sticks. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then stir in the grain alcohol. Pour into quart-size canning jars, seal with the lids and rings, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
I love Apple Pie! It is so smooth, you don't taste the alcohol. I'm trying to be good and not drink, but that sure is tempting
I may try that closer to Xmas. Sounds good.
Rusty Nails. They go well with action, thriller, and - well - most movies.
Dale's Pale Ale.
Super hoppy, but not real heavy. 6.5% abv, $13.99 for a 12 pack of 12oz cans. Buzz starts Midway through #3.
[ATTACH]46099[/ATTACH]
Pairs well with pastrami on multi grain with mayo and cheap American cheese.
Pale ales are so trendy. I keep waiting for everyone to wake up and realize that while it IS fun to say "pale ale" they taste terrible.
There's a beergarten near us that I go to a few times a year, and all they have on tap is pale ales. I end up getting a red wine.
Lager all the way.
It's an acquired taste, to be sure. I used to revile the bitterness, but now I prefer it. If you can get past the first one, Glatt, they are typically more complex and tasty than a one dimensional lager. Not calling you simple, as I'm sure you weren't calling me trendy. Just pointing out that they do have more to offer than a squinched up face.
Tonight there is an open bar tab for the band, as we do one set of Blues Brothers songs at 9, and then drink until when.
I won't be drinking cos I have to drive an hour home and then wake up tomorrow and spend 5 hours preparing the whole T-giving feast.
Jim if I wanted to relive the bitterness I'd remarry
I simply hate the taste of beer. I've never been able to develop a taste for it
I used to revile the bitterness, but now I prefer it.
No more Yuengling and Miller Lite for you?
I simply hate the taste of beer. I've never been able to develop a taste for it
Hear, hear! Beer is gross. Always has been. Always will be.
No more Yuengling and Miller Lite for you?
Oh, I'll still drink it. Nothing better than a cold miller light in a hot shower, but if I'm drinking to get festive, I can't drink enough to get buzzed.
Yeungling is my go to beer at the bar cuz it's cheap... but it makes me fart all day afterwards.
As for bitter beers, Dogfish 90 minute IPA is one of the best, and strongest. Troegs perpetual is also a good one. Victory Hop devil and Hop Wallop are excellent as well.
Duvell Belgian ale is a good tweener. Try that some time.
I drink beer cuz it's the cheapest route to Happytown, not cuz I like the taste...If I drank for the taste, I wouldn't be drinking Bud Light, that's fer damn sure.
I've identified LaBatts ice in 24oz cans to be the cheapest ticket to buzztown. You get 12 for $11.99. That's like 50c per regular 12oz can. It's 5.1%abv.
drink 2 quickly and you're on your way.
if you're not enjoying the taste, it's... medicine. sometimes that's the ticket, but I drink because I like the taste far more than I like the buzz. I strongly prefer IPAs but I occasionally like a lager, if it goes with the meal, or it's hot outside (like lawnmower beer).
I love Ninkasi's Tricerahops Double IPA, and Fremont Brewery's Interurban IPA. Ninkasi is an outfit in Eugene, Oregon, the new center of the universe for hops and hop growing.
Tricerahops - :thumb: (the name, I know nothing of the beverage)
We need an alcoholic beverage that tastes like Whoppers.

Cheap vodka.

I am disappoint in all your beer deprecations.
and by the way, beer doesn't like the way you taste, either. :pfft:
I'm trying to be good. I'm having boiled custard
decaf coffee w/milk no sugar
Merlot tonight. From a box!
We usually have a box of merlot sitting on top of the microwave. Black Box wines aren't half bad, and as good as many of the inexpensive bottle wines at the $8-9 mark for half the price. I'm looking at you, Barefoot and Yellow Tail.
Lately we found a delicious red wine at Trader Joes, imported from Italy. I think it's really pretty good. We bought a case and would get more, but they have since sold out. Only $4 a bottle for that one.
Edit: I forgot to add, it was the Vola Sangiovese. It really tastes like a good $25 bottle of wine. Pick a bottle up if you see one. And then go back for a case when you realize how good it is.
If enough people show up, I may make up some Apple Pie in A Jar...
Otherwise, it's cheap vodka, and OJ. Again.
I like vodka, it puts me in a place that no other drink does.
decaf coffee w/milk no sugar
You wild man, you.
f'realz. I'd have to be out of my mind for coffee to drink decaf.
drinking bourbon tonight.
Evan Williams, neat.
A very nice Oregon Pinot Gris - King Estate, 2012.

for strong sweet candy flavors Gravdigr, I wonder if you've ever considered using some flavored water concentrate, like Mio or KoolAid? I got a tiny bottle of the KoolAid brand (Grape) and it's like a miracle. Take a glass of water, hit it with a squirt of the purple stuff--OH YEAH!!!! KOOL AID!!
I reckon if you found a flavor you like, you could instantly flavor a batch like the one you pictured.
This too. Although it's probably loaded with chemicals, it's used in very small quantities, and surprisingly tasty.
Ooh. I hadn't thought about that. I may give that a try sometime.
:thumb:
...it's probably loaded with chemicals...
Just like my body!
Better living, through chemistry. Well...higher living, anyway.

Well, I just tried this. It works perfectly. Perfectly, that is, if you like grape Kool Aid. The shot of vodka tasted **just like** grape Kool Aid. Find a flavor you like, and then just go crazy.
I'd practice with just water first to get the feel for the dispensing pressure needed to get the concentrate out of the bottle. It does NOT permit dripdripdrip and instead holds tight until it makes a very fine, very strong stream---PSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHT. Then you're done. Practice on the water first.

After being on the wagon for 100+ days, now working on a batch of Peach pie.
Eh, just some supermarket carton eggnog, with a little dab of this rum or that and a good shake of mace into the rum before putting the nog in. Nutmeg is fine, but mace is really nice.
Cinnamon vodka and sparkling apple juice. Tastes like an apple pie. I think this will be my new favourite drink this festive season. :)
Peach Pie By BB
1 Qt. Welch's essentials peach, mango.
1 Qt. Peach juice drink.
1 Qt. Crystal light Peach bellini. "wtf."
1 Tbsp. Cinnamon w/ sucralose.
2 Tsp. Punkin pie spice.
I mixed the 2 juices together to top off 1 gal.
With a long squirt of the light liquid.
The tricky part, after a few samples, not too sure about how much everclear.
Take your pick. 6, 8 , or 10 oz.
I was going to the store, but think I'll go to bed. :smack:
I've got a half gallon of Everclear, but none of the other ingredients. :smack:
Boy!! That shit will send ya to bed early!!~!

Welcome to the Cellar, Molasar :)
thank you @DanaC, another resident of my home county I see.
I should have put a bet on that my first ever post in The Cellar concerned intoxicating liquor, but there again it was the mention of the 'virtual tavern' that drew me in so I guess it was just serendipity.
to avoid incurring the wrath of the (time-expired;)) mods by going off-topic, is there a place for NKOBs to introduce themselves?
Or is it all down to hazing in here?:eek:
There's not really a dedicated thread. Here's as good a place as any. Welcome Molasar! What combination of search terms and/or random browsing brought you here?

There may be a questionnaire for you from lumberjim. It's tradition.
this has to be the lamest reason going but I was watching a Gregory Peck movie on some random TV channel in the UK this morning (GMT ;) ) and he referred to his five-year-old charge that she was as "hard as wang leather". having been in the leather industry years ago but not knowing that type I was curious and googled it.
this place, your very own forum, was the only sensible answer I found without going to ludicrous extremes. true.
I then checked out the basic forum yadda-yadda stuff and almost immediately found mention of the 'virtual tavern' and that was it, decision made, and the rest is history (actually it's not history that's sheer bollocks, it's just bringing us up to now).

has anyone tried gin with a slice of cucumber instead of the usual lemon or lime slice?
seems a half-arsed idea to me, the delicate watery flavour of cucumber dropped into the fiery botanicals-rich aftershave-like gin, you'd expect the cucumber to be as pointless as tits on a haddock, but I haven't tried it, yet!
answers on a postcard please!
Lindemans' Bin 40 Merlot 2012, tasty.
funny thing about reds, love the taste but mostly give me rotten hangovers even while still drinking them, so I stick to one glass.
love Merlot, then claret, then Rioja, and Pinotage is a rare treat for when I'm truly on form.
today however it's Hobgoblin (a rich dark 5.2% porter style ale) then G&T with lime.
going back to @sexobon mention of Lindemans I find it good to go off-piste and try wines that aren't big brands. we ('Er Indoors and I) get more winners than losers that way, which is a better strike rate than the brands if I'm honest.
has anyone tried gin with a slice of cucumber instead of the usual lemon or lime slice?
...
Hendricks? I have. It's probably best with a home grown cucumber that actually has some flavour, rather than the tasteless twelve-inchers that adorn the supermarket shelves. But it was OK, nonetheless.

There are plenty of reviewers who publish wine ratings. Some even use double blind tastings. The trick is to find reviewers who's tastes are consistent with yours. After trying a few wines rated by tasting editors with each of a half dozen different themed publications, I settled on a US magazine called Wine Spectator for reviews. I get hundreds of (sometimes over a thousand) wine reviews a month for a US $50 annual subscription fee. I haven't bought a bottle of wine that I didn't enjoy for over 20 years. For Christmas I put out a white (300,000 case production) and a red (392 cases). I have no reservations about buying from bulk producers when better vintages yield atypically good wines; or, from small producers who bottle quality. That way I always get the most for my money.
that should be something from the STBO Dept, but isn't.
never mind an expert reviewer who can identify any wine ever produced, but find a reviewer whose tastes match yours. brilliant in its simplicity, nice one @sexobon
Recuperating.
Not hungover, just tired. Ti. Urred.
Tonight, new year's eve, I will be drinking Yard's Brawler, and Gran Spumante.
Cups of tea, mainly.
I did have a little glass of port a while ago, but it made me feel a bit queasy. I haven't drunk a lot over Christmas, but I have drunk a little every day and that always leaves me feeling a tad off kilter.
So tonight, I'm just drinking tea. And, obviously lighting up an enormous spliff.
A shot of tequila when I get home. And a glass of champaign later tonight. I'll finish the rest tomorrow. :-)
COS Cerasuolo di Vittoria Clasico 2010, good, simple nose, full cherry with currant flavors; but, a little too tart for my taste, probably better with food ... was an Xmas present.

I've revisited this thread for other reasons but find myself compelled to reply to this post. (I believe) I independently discovered this wine. It's *delicious*! I don't remember reading this post but I sure do remember this wine. Get some, a case is not overkill.
It was back in stock, and we bought another case.
I love this wine. It is so yummy (and cheap!) If they keep it in stock, then we can just pick up a case every couple months when we are there. Otherwise I feel like we should hoard it.
As long as it doesn't crowd out wheaties shelf space.
I picked up a 12 of Ruthless Rye IPA. It was nice. I really like Sierra nevada's beers; they are well balanced and drinkable. Currently reading his biography, "beyond the pale"
My Wheaties hoard is a shadow of its former self. I think I may only have half a dozen boxes. They haven't made a pricing mistake since the last one.
Now I know what to get you for Christmas
Kids today wouldn't even know what that is.
I'm thinking something from the Wild Turkey section.
I heard on the car radio that the feathers used to make Big Bird's costume are turkey feathers. Now that you know, if you drink too much Wild Turkey you may see Big Bird instead of a pink elephant.
Twil and I recently went to Portland for some roller derby fun, and after the bout we decided to walk around downtown. It was bitterly cold and we finally found refuge in a restaurant. The hot drinks were very appealing and we had one called the Fogcutter. Very simple, hot coffee and Avion Espresso Liquer (tequila and espresso).
OMG.
Sooooooo goooooood.
We made it a point to buy a bottle before coming home and we were able to duplicate the drink at home, it's delicious. On the heels of that victory, and inspired by Gravdir's cherry bomb, I decided to make a batch myself.
one part tequila
one part vodka
two parts moonshine (unaged whiskey)
one bag Cafe Rio candies (from Trader Joe's)
Add all the ingredients (the booze amounted to about a fifth/750 ml), shake, let dissolve, shake some more, etc. Drink. De-lishiz1!!

We found a French red like this there -L'Authentique. Also about $4. Also in and out of stock so I buy it by the case, although we don't drink wine all that often. but it's really good.

I've run out of money this month, already, so, it's Bud Light (or whatever's there).
Spending the weekends with friends, brought some of my precious Mad Elf stock along, then learned that they live down the street from s microbrewery (Free Will Brewing). Came home from a tasting with a half a load on and mango wheat beer and a smoked Porter. Ah, deliciousness.

Ima go to my spot on the river, and if anyone's there they're gonna hafta GTFO. My spot. I pay for it. GTFO.
I've absolutely had it with every air breathing motherfucker on the planet today. I want to be alone. I can't think of a person I want even near me right now. Fuck off, you.
Just me and my stick(s), awaiting the sweet embrace of alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol. And weed. Big, thumb-fat doobies (<---plural) of the good shit. Dark and sticky and stinky.
If had anything in the house I'd start drinking RFN.
I'd join you, but:
1) I am one of the air-breathing mudderpluckers on the planet, so you'd kick me out
2) I'm in a relatively good mood today (though I've had those moods of which you speak, quite often)
3) I live too far away
4) I have my niece's softball game to go to tonight
5) I'm trying to cut back
Drinking by the river is one of the best solo drinking experiences you can have...just don't fall in, hit your head, and drown...like a late night fisherman neighbor (my age) did a couple years ago.

That was excellent, thank you. I like bourbon, I like Wild Turkey, heck, I even like Mr McConaughey (though his name sounds like he'd be from the land of Laphroaig).
Speaking of which, in return for that treat, I offer you this, a tour of the
Laphroaig Distillery.

Angel's ShareI'm a smartass who likes to invent drinks. :D
Recipe #1:
Milk
Coffee liqueur
Chocolate syrup
Vodka
Actual cream
Start with the milk. Add choc. syrup to taste, and when it's almost perfect slowly whisk in both kinds of booze. Sample often, and make note of the rough amounts used to make it taste the way you like it best. Add a small dash of whipping cream for thickness if you're not worried about fat content. When I perfected my recipe from what began as a homemade Bailey's knockoff recipe, my best friend inadvertently named it by commenting "It's like being kicked in the head by a chocolate-covered mule...and liking it." So we call it Chocolate-Covered Mule.
Recipe #2:
Blood orange juice
X-Rated brand liqueur (blood orange-passionfruit, I think)
Vodka
This one's more labor-intensive, at least out here in the sticks, because I have to juice the oranges by hand. 2 oranges will make a good base for a strong drink, so this isn't a great one for huge parties. With that out of the way, you make this by combining the juice and booze in whatever proportions taste best (I know, I'm totally unhelpful about measurements here). I like to garnish it with novelty ice cubes, specifically the ones shaped like skulls, icebergs, shark fins, and the Titanic. We call this drink the Bucket O'Blood.
Recipe #3
Pomegranate juice or juice blend--any dark red juice you like will work; I happen to like pomegranate and hate cranberry.
Vodka
Sprite (tho any clear lemon-lime soda should work)
I use about 1.5 to 2 shots of vodka, about 3 shots of juice, and pour Sprite on top until the cup is full. The name comes from a complicated blend of my smartassery, my knowledge of many things horse-related, and a random choice of container for the first batch. The container is an oversize coffee mug my neighbor got as a promo gift with an order of cigars, and is adorned with the logos of the Man O'War brand of cigars. Some of you may know there was a VERY famous racehorse many decades ago whose name was Man O'War; he won 20 of his 21 racing starts, including a spectacular "match race" against his lifetime competitor, Sir Barton. When they were raced just against one another to prove who was the better horse, Man O'War won...by over 200 feet of clear space! In horse racing, a "length" is the length of the horse from the front point of its shoulder to the back point of its haunch just below the tail, which tends to be around 7-8 feet. So I mix up this bright red concoction in a mug with Man O'War written on it and immediately named it 21 Lengths--the official distance by which Big Red won that match race.

Y'know...
I don't have access to a spot on a river, dammit, cuz that would be SO awesome today. Today I spend packing so I can help my neighbor survive the drive. Tomorrow I load myself up with Valium until I'm just short of drooling on myself and we head BACK to Oregon. One of my neighbor's best friends, who he met in '88 and got sober with in '91, isn't looking likely to still be alive by the time we do the official Gallivant Westward next summer :(. So off we go to say goodbye.
It's like 8:25 in the morning, Mtn Daylight Time, as I type. The old saying "It's 5:00 somewhere" is so very true, and I'ma go ahead and start my pre-trip booze-a-rama because it's after 5:00 in Finland, dammit! :D

So I'm drinking wine. A lot of wine. ;)

Getting back to the theme of this thread - I'm about to go to the liqour store. Any suggestions?
If Big Sarge is a scotch drinker and still around to read this thread, try my favorite Speyside: Balvenie's DoubleWood 12yo. Gets the usual bourbon-cask maturing for the usual kind of time, then gets a finish stored in port and sherry casks before being let out into the world.
This stuff is as complex as a red wine. Layers upon layers upon layers.
Get outside of enough of this and you'll take up the bagpipes.
UG, what is it that distinguishes Speyside from Islay? I've found it lighter, more floral, and vexingly, somewhat peppery. I didn't care for it. In fairness, I am smoke-smitten, Laphroaig has ruined me for any Scotch not made at the water's edge.

I'm a giant fan of Islays myself -- and you've noticed every year there seems to be another one setting up. They're gonna get as thick as all those Speysides if they keep it up...
Not only that, the Islays are getting all cute, and introducing notions like "vatting" -- stirring together all or most of the separate Islays, like blend Scotch minus the grain alcohol extender, and itself a return to the sort of thing well-fixed gentlemen and clubs did with various Scotches back in the nineteenth century, maybe as early as the late eighteenth. If you can find it, a vatted bottling is Big Peat -- I understand this to be all the Islays, just as smoky as ever you like, with a rather comic label on it that seems to depict that Islay is a very windy place, very windy indeed.
To compound the mischief and the bewilderfying, the sundry distilleries in the several regional styles are trying their hands at producing other regions' styles of whisky. Speyside and Highland styles are seriously beginning to blur into each other, leaving the Northern, Campbelltown (I think C'town whiskies may be poised to expand back into many brands; there used to be a hundred twenty-odd distilleries in Campbelltown and I see no reason with the single malt market as it is for them not to grow like a fairy-ring again), some Lowland now, and the Isles/Islay mode. More on this after a para on Speysides. Who in keeping with the above, are tackling making Islays just for fun. And so on, round and round Scotia...
Speysides are rather more united by geography than by flavor these days. That said, the backbone of the Speyside style of whisky is a pretty light body, a faint sweetness, and something grainy about its flavor too -- Glenlivet being an example of all that. Glenfiddich is a distillery just up the road from Glenlivet that tried to be a Glenlivet copy -- and wasn't, and isn't. I'm not Glenfiddich's biggest fan, but opening a dram of it up with a sparing few drops of your favorite designer water makes all the difference in the world. Damned if I understand how, but it does; consider a little splash of water as always worth a try if you're not quite liking taking it neat. Straight up, in the American dialect. The River Spey is a wide valley, a big watershed generally northeast-flowing, and with the explosion of the single-malt market, there seems now to be a duly legal distillery up every single tributary creek in the watershed; Speysides are
all over the place. Many are wonderful, a few expressions of whisky less so -- I've something the Auchentoshan people put out, and didn't show a lot of character, that I generally use to spike my hot chocolate. It's terrific for that. For consistently enjoyable Speysides, you can't go wrong with any variety of Glenmorangie, the varietal-bottling specialists -- finish with this cask, finish with that, or don't multicask at all. Should you explore Speyside whiskies further, see Balvenie Doublewood -- or their other whisky, the simple Balvenie -- as above. The Speysides are
accessible, approachable, friendly spirits. Not lapel-grabbers the way many of the Islays are.
I find too I'm a big fan of the whiskies finished off in used sherry or port casks, after the standard treatment of ageing Scotch in once-used bourbon barrels. Used barrels are big business! Yet the barrel trade is not celebrated in any Scottish folksong I've ever heard -- hardly just. But man, am I keen on sherried Scotches. I miss that flavor if a Scotch is made without it.
Rather scarce, but available by online order, is a whisky out of Taos -- as in New Mexico -- sold in rather small bottles @ US$50ish and in cask-strength 92 proof, named Colkegan. The New Mexico Distillery does not smoke its barley malt with peat fires. It uses mesquite. Man! -- Scotland just came to the barbeque! It is a whisky to squee for.
At my elbow right now is an Isles: Jura 10yo, from the concern located on the next island up from Islay in the Hebrides. I'm thinking it will show a kinship to the Islays. There's only the one distillery, which figures, as Jura has a population of roughly two hundred souls. You couldn't say Jura whisky's operation is some giant and faceless corporation -- for all that the holding company's headquarters is in the Philippines. Where they do not despise whisky. Globalism.
The capsule is blessed with the accommodating tear-strip to get it off... got my Glencairn glass out... it's in tolerable shape, not dusty; sometimes I use a snifter, for the same scent-concentrating reason Glencairns are around these days... stopper out... typical of whisky corks, cork body with a prominent cap atop it, shaped like a rivet. This batch of this whisky is a warm greeny-brown-amber color... mild, rather spiritous nose but little smoke... ahh, the smoke is on the palate and tongue. Not quite fiery, as with Finlaggan from Islay just across the water; lightsome body; not a lapel grabber, but a strong, confident flavor. Sherry finished. Smooth as silk. Wonder what barreling the stuff for fifteen years would do.
Guess you can now find out. The wife and I will surely enjoy this bottle. Is there indeed a regional resemblance with the variously smoked Islays? -- some resemblance; you're not likely to confuse Jura 10 with the Islays though. Would recommend, price is not too heavy.
Enjoying chocolate Milk :)
Cut to the chase, Everclear 190.
Tonight's opening is The Ardmore: Legacy (No Age Statement), their main product. Gotten at by a mix of 80% peated malt and 20% unpeated. It's a Highland-region whisky.
Highland style whiskies have, I think, a habit of being... elusive. Subtle. Stealth malts. I've a few Highland malts in my liquor hutch now, just from buying rather randomly. It's a mix of style, and where the distillery actually is, that seems the determinant. I find, reading around tonight, that Glenmorangie is among the Highland region whiskies; hmm. I took a tour of Edradour's distillery, now asserted to be the *second* smallest distillery in Scotland after 2007, and duly took their tour dram -- and can't remember a single thing about Edradour whisky. Nada. From sipping The Ardmore, I begin to think perhaps this elusiveness is the Highland style's characteristic. Dare I say, it's discreet. Mannerly.
Yet the whisky is not characterless. Sweet, rather floral nose. Very moderate smoke, spiritous finish. The trained palates discern vanilla, honey, and toffee notes; I dunno about that. "Toffee notes" seems to come up a lot in whisky-tasting. Doubtless comes out of the barrels' wood.
They of course these days offer numerous fancier expressions, for instance a port wood finished bottling of twelve years stated age, at a price that will not horribly mangle your budget. And a bottling from the 1960s, 25yo, that goes a thousand pounds a pop, that definitely would.

Twil and I just got back from a tour that included some time in Oregon. I took advantage of their tax free alcohol sales. I left the store with a big hole in my wallet and they had a good sized hole on their shelves. We were both happy with the situation. I got five handles of Evan Williams black label, one of the (new to me) white label, which is 100 proof, a bottle of Highland Park 12 yr which is a gift for a friend, and a bottle of Laphroaig Select. I reckon I saved about $80, or more, in taxes.

Aberlour 10yo, tonight. And a couple squares of Ghirardelli 86%.
Calls itself a Highland malt on the label. The site also keeps referring to Speyside. Spiritous nose with something fruity in it too -- if there's a sweet note, it is a fruity-sweet one rather than the often-seen Speyside grainy one. They're all smooth these days... and there's that understated quality I'm associating with Highlands.
Maybe I should try Ghirardelli 72%. The 86 had a rather closed-off quality, more suited to red wine or to Balvenie Doublewood. (72% goes better with this whisky -- it's sweeter, so it's more open.)
Not heavily peated -- hardly any at all. Has the sort of finish I keep seeing in Scotch -- difficult to describe, but distinctive when encountered. It tastes of its color; it tastes... golden. Next pass I take at it, I'll try a little splash of designer water, per recommendation on The Whisky Exchange site.
Had this bottle around a long time; had to replace a broken stopper.

When I come across a very good drink, I make sure I have enough for my friends. When I come across a really great drink, I don't have any friends.
Last night it was a hodgepodge of Malbec, sake, and a "snickertini," the last of which I just ate the whipped cream off with spoon and then passed the rest to someone else.
We're not big drinkers in general, but it's been a hell of a month (going to court for the second time on Thursday, whee!) and our regular dinner companion has had an equally shit time in her own life, so we made full use of modern ride app technology.

Oh,
hell yeah. I live about 25 miles north of the Oregon/Washington border. I buy all my booze and cigs in Oregon.
I have the option of paying $30 for 1.75 liters of booze and $75 for a carton of cigs in Washington, or paying $21 for 1.75 liters of booze and $47 for a carton of cigs in Oregon.
Which would
you pick? :p:
I was afraid I would not be able to say that I was drinking Buchanan's DeLuxe 12 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky, since I almost could not get the son-of-a-bitch open and then get it to pour.
Finally did both without any blood or stitches, then discovered quite a few posts on various blogs, etc. complaining of the same thing.
They use leftover space shuttle tile material for the capsule and then a marble in a pipe metering device that doesn't without severe agitation (of the marble and the would be imbiber).
Alas, the payoff is hardly worth the effort, with a sharp, burning nose and taste.
Go
good Kentucky bourbon. You won't be disappointed. ;)
...$75 for a carton of cigs in Washington...

$75, no kidding?

Last pack o' smokes I bought was $1.03. Actually, I didn't buy 'em. The previous day they were 78 cents. I quit then and there.
$75...:bolt:

I recommend Knob Creek, Angel's Envy, Woodford Reserve, and, of course, Wild Turkey in the 101 proof.
Can't go wrong with any of that.;)
Have not liked bourbon since my first smell and taste 'bout 60 years ago.
Do ya remember the brand?

Wasn't gonna drink tonight.
Then, just a few minutes ago, I was reminded of just how much I mean to the people I'm surrounded by.

Tokaji in Magyar (Hungarian), Tokay in English. It's Aaran whisky aged in casks previously used to age Tokay wine. The whisky is nuanced by the wine's residual chemistry in the barrels. Multiple spirits are aged in barrels previously used for wine and the same spirit can be aged in barrels from different wines for different nuances.

Also, to answer the question you posed in the post preceding the one I quoted, I'd order a whiskey flight--or two. In case you or any other teetotaler here isn't familiar, it's an order of three or four glasses of smaller portions of different whiskies (or meads or beers or sakes, you get the idea). It's intended to give the imbiber a chance to save a little money as he expands his experience. Buying a whole drink of something blind can get a little expensive and disappointing. The flights are a good way to find a new friend.
Me, I don't much like whiskey, but do love my Scotch.
My point exactly.
Looking at a page of booze ads (or booze discussions) it is obvious that the distinction is poorly understood.
