Recommend Some Liquor!

[line6man]

How about a Vesper martini? I make something similar with Bombay Sapphire, Ciroc vodka, dry vermouth, and lemon, but the real deal calls for Lillet. I like the Ciroc because I think its sort of antiseptic quality adds to the drink, but that's just me.


Otherwise, Glenfiddich 12, if you don't want to spend a lot.

I was once partial to a wee dram o' Drambuie. Some medieval monk concocted it, apparently. It's a righteous ruination - hammers a hella halo on ya howlin' head. But I'm an absinth purist now, once in a blue moon.

What's good?

Interesting question. But, I don't drink.



There are enough fully-blown alcoholics on the board to help you out.




(ha ha, just kidding)

Play it safe and go with Poland Spring

To Relax ? ... Johnny Walker Red label ... Blue if you can afford it.
Want to see vapor trails ? ... MD 20/20 ....Grape.

MD 20/20? Wow, that takes me back to my high school days when I was broke teenager looking for a cheap buzz. Scraping my bowl and sucking down Mad Dog...... thanks for the flashback to 1984.

lol ... any time brother ... 1986 for me.

I tend not to drink my liquor straight. Vodka goes with everything. It's the little black dress of the liquor cabinet.

You have the same philosophy on Vodka as my guitar player.

So we're roughly the same age, I knew there was a reason I liked you.

Tell me honestly, when was the last time you drank Mad Dog? It's easily been 30 years for me...... and fwiw I don't miss it in the slightest.

Get yourself a cigar in the $8.00 to $10.00 range, and a bottle of Pampero rum. Fill a small glass and chill on the back porch for about an hour.

It's been a long time ... I spent the summer of 86 with it and that was about it. Ah the 80's. What was it then, a couple bucks for a bottle ?

$1.69 for a bottle that I could hide in the inside pocket of my leather jacket. Cheap buzz that was nearly drinkable, but boy did you pay for it with the after buzz headache.

Yeah, the 80's. When I had money, I could get a six pack of Moosehead beer and a pack of Marlboros for $5. The beer was $3.74 and the smokes were $1.25. Gas was 75 cents a gallon, too. I could put $10 of gas in the Camaro and cruise all weekend.

I miss those days.

I used to step it up to Dr Magillicuddies peppermint schnapps when I had a few extra bucks lol.

But I'm an absinth purist now

What do you like?

Though not a proper absinthe, I enjoy Absente. It's a little more flavorful than some of the other absinthes I've had, and the ABV is lower.

 

[JustForSport]

Dark beer: none of that formaldehyde- preserved stuff.
Black/dark Rum- Gosling's Black Seal, Ron Abuelo Anejo- Panama: No big maker flavored grain alcohol.
Kick-back for old SeaDogs.

Me? Virtually anything absinth - as long as it's ridiculously expensive. I once took a shine to Mr Jekyll - said hello to Dr. Hyde, and good night, nurse.

I've got a $70 bottle, a $55 bottle and a $40 bottle. The $55 bottle is my favorite.

I like your style.

Circa 1973 and it was Boonesfarm.

 

[GKon]

I am a recent convert to Honey Jack. It's Jack Daniels with honey. Tastes just like maple syrup. And no hangover!

They should include a drinking straw with every bottle.

My distilled spirit of choice is straight bourbon whiskey. I love Blanton's single barrel a bit too much, but I also like Four Roses single barrel, and Evan Williams 10 year old single barrel is always interesting. Knob Creek is too good.
