It's clearly evident my wife is a liability to my drinking habit. We show less advertisements to registered users. Accounts are free; join today!

For those into making mules at home, I've landed on a brand of ginger beer lately that I really dig for mules. "Q Spectacular" I recommend it. Plenty of ginger punch and not overly sweetened.

Liquor store was out of my usual 18pk of miller, so I bought a 12pk of MGD, same price but I feel like I was cheated out of 6 beers lol

I had a wintery set of cocktails last night. First for after dinner we enjoyed a blend of di Sarrano, Bailey's, and peppermint schnapps with a sprinkle of candy cane dust on top. Was served room temperature and had a cool minty flavor. The second was fireball and Stoli vanilla, cranberry, and a splash of ginger ale, served on the rocks in a highball glass. Tasted like the Atomic Fireball candy. A good night!

Mix one part Crown Royal Salted Caramel and one part Crown Royal Apple over some ice. It's a very tasty cocktail perfect with dessert after a meal. I had some of that this past weekend while sitting around the bonfire.

This pandemic has done a number on my tastes in alcohol.
I'm out of homebrew, I haven't bought craft brew in a while, I just buy Beck's. I found an old bottle of Canadian Club Rye in the pantry, wasn't expecting much from it, but it's my new favorite. Almost empty now. Gotta replace that and the bottle of white rum I'm almost at the bottom of. Any recommendations on either? I'm thinking Jim Beam for the Rye and Appleton for the rum but I'm not sure. I enjoy them either neat or with unflavored soda water. Almost at the bottom of the bottle of Jack too, but I dont think I'll get another. Because it only goes good with coke or ginger ale, IMO. It's too, I dunno, oily or smoky or something to stand alone. I bought Zevia to mix the rest of it with cuz I'm hoping to lose weight and aspartame sweetened soda gives me jitters.

Three really good sipping rums I dig are Flor de Caña 12 Ron Zacapa 23 Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva Did a tequila tasting the other night with 4 pals. Everyone brought 2 or 3 to try. Lots of great stuff. The DJ 1942 pretty much stole the show (shocker), but folks were impressed with the Dobel Diamante considering pricepoint and the Don Julio 70 Cristalino was a surprise holiday season favorite as it has strong peppermint notes. Very different than their non-filtered anejo.

I'm enjoying a lovely Patron margarita.
OK, two Patron margaritas. So far... ![]() (12-14-2020, 11:36 AM)flsprtsgod Wrote: I had a wintery set of cocktails last night.

Many moons ago I remember a black licorice liquor with an Italian name that was in a tall triangular bottle and amber colored.
In Navy A school a few of us went out shopping and then ended up in an Italian restaurant/bar doing shots of this stuff. We practically carried one guy back and set him on the floor of his room with his back against the wall. We were getting him to drink some water and waiting for him to sober up a little before he hit the rack. He was talking one second and then leaned over and threw up into a pair of brand new $100 sneakers he purchased that day. He only wore them once to try on and they still had the tags attached.

This made me think of the Jagermeister shots they used to twist my arm to drink at the enlisted club. The following mornings were always a lesson in abject misery.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

I had a similar experience with Ouzo. I was all of 19 and had won our company softball team a big game with a couple of dingers, so my teammates were 'treating me' to some shots. Being underage and previous drinking experiences had been limited to Boone's farm apple wine and usually beer, I had no idea what I was doing. The last thing I remember was sitting on the curb outside the bar with my arms on my knees and head down, depositing the contents of my stomach in the gutter for quite a while. That was my first and last experience with Ouzo and to this day I cannot eat licorice. ![]() (12-23-2020, 10:25 AM)RicoTx Wrote:(12-20-2020, 10:09 PM)homebiscuit Wrote: Many moons ago I remember a black licorice liquor with an Italian name that was in a tall triangular bottle and amber colored. Ouzo is probably what home biscuit had. But not all ouzo is licorice flavored. Some of it just tastes like grapes. Very similar liquor in Italy called Grappa. If I'm ever in a fancy italian restaurant I might ask for Grappa. Like tequila, grappa comes gold or silver. The other famous italian liquors are limoncello and fernet. If you're in a really fancy place they'll bring you a platter of all three at the end of your meal, to aid digestion.
