COCKTAILS Anybody?

[LurkingPhoenix]

To me, that sounds like abusing bourbon. I don't object to it as an ingredient in a cocktail, but when it is mixed with other stuff, I want it to be a co-star at most. If it is at all an actual good bourbon, I'd want it straight.

That's how I feel. I experimented tonight and realized I wasted good bourbon.

I’ve found out I can’t drink brown liquor.
I think I confessed that to Cat.
After drinking brown liquor.

I like bourbon, but I cannot handle it. It makes me sad. A bourbon Old Fashioned is Delish.

There are worse things in this world than not having brown liquor.

I'm the opposite. I hate vodka and it gives me the worst hangovers. Yuck.

To be fair, mine is mostly olives.

If that was the case it'd be fine. I'll eat all the damned olives before they get in the glass though.

Just got some Pineapple Rum and Midori for a new drink mix I discovered. Need the mango and apple juices now

How did I KNOW what this was before I clicked it?

I watched this last week.

I lose it every time when he does Aunt Bunny. Utter brilliance.

I feel like her. I can braid my mustache.
I like the ice cream man. My mom had those crappy ices in the plastic and said THAT was ice cream and that we couldn’t get any from the ice cream man.

The kids down the block always got it, and taunted us.

Hahaha!

“Wanna lick? Psych!”

I recently heard/read someone complaining that his or her father calmly explained to his kids that when the truck was playing music, it meant he was out of ice cream.

You like the ice cream man?

I think the stem makes my Sangria look classy

It looks like fruit salad.

I made myself an Enzoni according to the recipe I posted above (doubled the amounts, though), but instead of simple syrup, I added a few healthy dollops of tonic water. Lordy! Lordy! I'm still fanning myself.

I recently subscribed to this guy's channel. I like him.

 

[BongoGal]

Is he the one who did the absinthe clip, too?

I....don't recall. Did I post it?

It's a Spanish wine, I added extra fruit
Cherries
Pineapple
Green apples
Oranges
Lemon
Grapes

Eating the winey fruit out after is the best part.


Off to walk my dog! Save me a seat at the bar!

Yes, definitely delicious mmmmmm

I dassn’t call it a martini, lest risk the wrath of the board.

good girl.

my theory on the "extra dry" martini - too many bars/people trying it with stale vermouth gave it a bad reputation. Vermouth goes bad like any wine with oxidation...I put mine in fridge after opening, vacuum-sealed, and use within 30 days or cook with it/toss

where's the photo?

Whenever I see the word Tito, I invariably think of this iconic clip:

and I think in 48 hours with Nick Nolte, the Indian's name might have been Tito. I loved that movie

That guy should be arrested for using Red Breast in Irish Coffee. I couldn't watch any more. Did he use Pappy to make a bourbon and ginger? #criminal

 

[Ziggins]

My FWB has a DUI and won't be driving for a while.

 

[Modern_drunkard]

Just watched video of dude making drink with pitted cherries, fresh ginger, bourbon and lemonade. Might have to try that dope shit.

 

[Modern_drunkard]

Bought a small plastic swimming pool at Wal-Mart. So, tomorrow gonna make Mai Tais and float all day.

 

[madinga]

back on the road for a bit and missing being able to make my own cocktails. Don't get me wrong, it's a joy when a good one is made by competent bartender, but that's not always easy to find.

 

[Modern_drunkard]

Had a couple Greyhounds with breakfast. Such a nice and easy early morning drink.

 

[AbsintheFather]

I like potato based vodkas and pretty much always have a bottle in the freezer for dirty vodka martinis. I know it's not truly a martini without the vermouth. But 'Dirty Martini' sounds better than vodka on the rocks and I like them from time to time.

My recipe is 4oz of reposado tequila, 2oz of ruby red grapefruit juice, squeeze of lime, topped with club soda. I like to add some sea salt or salt rim.
