  • Re: Drinking Thread: Beer, Whiskey, Rum, Vodka, Wine - Raise a Glass, All Are Welcome

    Made myself a mint julep for the Derby (Maker's, btw). Gonna roll with Third Shift Amber beer tonight. It's not an outstanding beer, it's not a bad beer, it's just a beer when you want to have a beer, and that will be just fine.
    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

      Moved on to a margs on the rocks with Camarena silver and Patron Citronge.

      It's really nice to be able to walk up to my bar and make almost anything I might want. Of course I go with the ever so obvious marg, but that's what I had a taste for.


      Bought the Cuervo zero calorie marg mix and I can't tell any difference which is nice coz it eliminates 110 calories from each margarita.

        I have to say, I love Southern Comfort's new commercials.

        I'll never, EVER... drink it again, but the TV spots are entertaining.

          I like the Woodford Reserve commercials about women drinking bourbon. I find myself nodding my head in agreement.

            No adult beverages for me this weekend. Just 2 hydrocodone every 4-6 hours.

                I'm guessing you're doing fine... just fine.

                    Discovered Dragon's Milk Reserve yesterday. Bought a cpuple bottles. It says it is Dragon's Milk brewed with roasted chiles.

                    Also picked up a 4 pack of Rubeaus.

                      I've been meaning to check out cachaca - which is the Brazilian equivalent of rum.

                      From a smell and slight taste last night, that it starts with sugar cane is where similarities end. Very earthy taste and not sweet at all. Not a bad taste though - just very different from anything I've had before.

                      The national drink of Brazil - name escapes me - is this liquor, a crushed lime and some sugar served with ice. Supposed to be really good. Will try it tonight with my fish tacos.

                      It's good but would probably be better suited for a hot day on the deck as it is very crisp and would imagine it to be refreshing on a hot and humid day.
                      The caipirinha is definitely a nice hot weather drink. I have a bottle of Agua Luca cachaca, which works well in a caipirinha and also has a really neat bottle design that would probably work well with that new bar you're building.

                        There is Widowmaker in my pint glass, 3 other KBC's on tap, 2 more KBC cans, and a tech hockey jersey on the wall. Needless to say, I am fond of this bar. Wings on the way!
