Also, I went to a nice Italian place for Vday and they had Hendricks Gin at the bar. Ive been wanting to try it, so I got a double on the rocks. That stuff is so smooth it puts Bombay to shame.
puts Bombay to shame? for real?
I must get me a fifth of this then
I mean Bombay is awesome, but Hendricks is so much smoother. Its also a good bit more expensive. Ill get a 5th or two and save it for special occasions. lol
No bars have bitters unless they are cocktail bars.Quote:

I especially liked the shiner black label. Very.tasty. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys dark lagers (brewed right here in shiner, texas).
Hahaha my girlfriend loves that shit. Must be an asian thing lololQuote:

I just dont like Tonic. I dont know if the tonic we have at work is nasty or what, but Ive tried it multiple times. I just like the taste of gin, I guess thats why I drink it with club soda. Its basically water. I may give it another shot though. I need to get some tonic thats not from a tap.Quote:

Haven't had a good drunk feeling a while. Just a slight buzz from a lack of heavy drinking. A double of any vodka would probably have me feeling real good now. Minute Maid had a 4 for $5 sale, so I ended up getting Cherry Limeade, Pink Lemonade, Fruit Punch, and Cherry Lemonade. Probably mix that with some Grey Goose and I'll have a nice drink to sip on while doing some homework.
A beer I haven't had in a longtime but now remember how much I like it is Magic Hat 9. A pale ale with a fruity taste. Really good and I rarely find it at any of the regular bars I go to despite their propensity to serve all sorts of IPAs and microbrews.
I spent $80 on gin today.

Worth it.
On the menu tonight.

I drank some cheap tequila and sprite the other night. Then I drank beer while playing beer pong the night before last.
You need to dice the shit out of the cucumber. How was it?Quote:

It was delicious. The cucumber flavor is really good, and makes it go down so much smoother.Quote:

And hell no on the onions. Im not trying to make a bloody mary. Which are disgusting BTW.
Presidente Margaritas at Chili's is pretty good
You and margaritas... well I guess it's like me and rum and coke, but still
Does nobody drink cider around here? Mmm, apples.
i drink old rosie if the pub im at has it. love that shit.
Hmm, never heard of a cider you drink at room temperature, but I guess that's an English thing.
I normally find scrumpy unpalatable. But there's one brand, Old Mout, that makes a scrumpy that isn't overpoweringly dry. Old Mout mix their ciders with all sorts of fruit wines. Last I tried was cranberry cider from them. It comes in a 1.5lt PET bottle - all class - for NZ$8-10 (~USD7.31/GBP4.54).
This brings up the question of how that price compares elsewhere, but I think I'll start a thread in The Mess Hall for that.
Asprin you should try Boundary Road Brewery's Grizzly Beer it is tasty as fuck.
I've tried 5% ginger beers from Harrington's (Chch) and Stone's (South Australia). They were both disgusting. But I'm always looking for a good ginger beer or ginger infused beer and this sounds promising. I'll get it next time I'm at the supermarket. Chur James.
I'm not really a cider person in general, but honest to god, old rosie tastes like straight up apple juice. It's dangerous stuff, very easy to go overboard on.Quote:

As fun as that was, I don't want to drink shit like that ever again.
Ideally I'd drink good stouts and porters, The Macellen 12 year, Booker's Bourbon, and Henricks Gin. Though I do love Broker's (mainly because the bottle wears a fucking hat), I haven't been able to find it around here. Founder's Breakfast Stout is easily my favorite beer. It's far from top shelf, but I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Wild Turkey 101.
In reality I'm a piss poor drunk. As a result, you'll usually see me drinking Old Crowe or Ten High (if I have to settle) for bourbon, Seagram's or Burnette's for gin, and Hamm's for beer. I loathe vodka, can't afford tequila I don't hate, and the only rum I really like anymore is Sailor. One of my favorite things to do when ordering at a bar is to ask for the "dirtiest welliest whiskey and water" they've got. Bartender's usually get a chuckle out of it.
Of course, this is all assuming that I'm paying for it. If you put a drink in front of me, I'll drink it.
Kahlua and Milk.
I like cider, but I hardly spring the extra buck for better beers.
Vodka and Cranberry Juice. I feel like my grandmother when I drink it, but I like CJ enough without the added kick to it, can easily drink a gallon in a day. Handle of some vodka, and a gallon of CJ will keep me drunk from morning til night.
I've got work in an hour and half, so I should probably smash another Bloody Mary to make sure I can function.
Any BM fans? What does your recipe look like?
Bloody Marys are disgusting. Almost as bad as that tomato juice and beer crap.
