The Famous Grouse has launched a new brand called the Black Grouse; all in the aid of securing the future of the rare show off bird in Scotland.
Has anyone seen one of these birds? Here is a link to the advert: http://www.rosshetherington.com/?p=315  |

Old Crow always reminds me of this friend of mine, his "signature" drink was 1/3 Old Crow, 1/3 Admiral Nelson, and 1/3 Grape Drink (whichever brand was cheapest).
It sounds perfectly hideous, in fact, it is perfectly hideous, but I've imbibed more of it than I care to admit.

A 1/3 of a cup right? I'd like to try it. Grape drink meaning koolade or the carbonated stuff. also what is admiral nelson. |

Admiral Nelson is a Rum.
That drink sounds horrific.

That drink sounds horrific. | Grape drink is a cheap knock-off "fruit punch" type drink that moderately resembles grape flavor. Dave Chappelle's skit on the matter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8LNGvgWnG8
Admiral Nelson is a cheap knock-off of Captain Morgan spiced rum. Funny thing is, though, while it's a lot cheaper than Captain Morgan at most liquor stores, the local walmart liquor store has Captain Morgan handles for cheaper than Admiral Nelson. YMMV.
I will agree with you that that sounds horrific.

And I wasnt sure about the grape thing, to me it just makes sense having fresh juices with alcohol 
The guy should try making it with some Pussers rum!
