What to drink?
 

Well, since I'm saving money by not getting gas to go to KC, I might as well splurge on something good to drink tonight. Any suggestions?

I'm not a tequila fan. Never tried gin or bourbon.

Any mixed drinks...please provide recipe.

Jaegerbombs.

A man after my own heart. I'm thinking of something new though. I went through a phase where I made Calypso Coolers, and they're really good, but require way to many ingredients.

Maker's Mark

mountain dew is delicious.

Yea that's great but I am not sure that's luv's speed.

Kettle One and Cranberry on ice.

Gator Passion.

Does anyone drink "Old Fashioneds" anymore? I haven't had one in a long time, but they weren't too bad, as I recall, Ms. luv.

Just bourbon, bitters, sugar, and soda, I think. Maybe a lemon twist, or something.

Ohhhh.... I already have some cranberry from when I made Royal Flush shots a few weeks ago. What is Kettle One? A vodka?

Bacardi 151

I love Hurricane 151's.

whats the point of buying halfway good vodka and putting it in cranberry juice?

just buy smirnoff.

Yes, it's Woodka, and it's spelled Ketel One.

Sorry, BD just didn't want luv standing in the liquor store yelling "K E T T L E one, do you have it?"

vodka tonic
whiskey coke
white russian
margarita

What's the gayness factor if I recommend banana mudslides?

Kettle One is pretty cheap, I like to keep it in the freezer and drink it out of a wine glass. I get a half gallon for $30. It gives you more versatility with what you can do with it. Your hangovers are not as bad if ou drink too much as well. Well worth the extra few bucks. Also if you just put a splash of cranberry in it does make a difference.

Pretty high.

That sounds gooood. Haven't had a foo-foo drink in a while. I love banana flavored drinks.

I don't know. Complex, fancy drink recipes are kind of overkill when you're drinking alone. Just buy some cheap wine, unscrew the lid, and guzzle. It's best if it drips down your chin onto your belly.

FAX

Wow. That sounds pretty good, Mr. Bowser. What's in a banana mudslide?

FAX

There's your answer Bowser.

Apparently I don't drink it enough.

BIG DADDY
Busted by the spelling Poleece AGAIN.

Plenty of KY.

Eh, I won't do anything too complex. I'll make a big batch at the start of the evening to last the evening.

Try a gin Martini. Since it may be your 1st, splurge a little on Bombay Sapphire. Stick a glass in the freezer for 30 minutes or so and let it get nice and cold. Doesn't need to be a martini glass, but they're nice to have around so you may want to get a couple for future use. If you don't have a shaker, put ice and gin in a glass, cover the top of the glass with something and shake vigorously. Pour gin into your nice cold glass and enjoy. If you have a couple of fat olives stick a toothpick in them and put them in the drink as well. It's refreshing and quick.

Like I said, wouldn't have busted you on it, except the chance that luv would be out lookin' for it on your description.

Good thing I didn't officially recommend it, then.

30 ml vodka
30 ml Kahlua® coffee liqueur
30 ml Bailey's® Irish cream
60 ml cream
60 ml milk
1 banana
3 ice cubes
grated chocolate



Place all ingredients, except grated chocolate, in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into glass and enjoy


Discovered these in Jamaica, Mr. FAX. Very tasty, indeed.

Roquefort stuffed olives

Pour a couple of drops of the olive juice into the martini as well.

Hendrick's gin, tonic water, ice, garnish with a slice of cucumber.

I think I would have figured it out, but thanks for the clarification.

Never been to Hedonism, or Hedo II. By the sounds of it, I'm happy with that decision.

my (now ex) gf used to buy grey goose, then put it in cranberry.

and I'm only talking 1/3 vodka, weak shit.

made no sense to me, until I started stealing her grey goose and replacing it with mccormick.

I've never heard of this, but it sounds great, Mr. Bowser. Kind of like a Russian thing, but with a Dairy Queen influence. We actually have all these ingredients, too. I'm going to try this. Many thanks.

Reminds me...Grey Goose and pink lemonade. :hmmm:

Whiskey Sours

My wife and Mother like a splash of olive juice. Me, not so much.

My pleasure, Mr. FAX. Let me know how they turn out.

Never say a gin Martini. A 'real' martini is always made with gin.

Try a mojito. They are simple. Just rum, simple syrup, mint and club soda.

Hows the Manhattan faring these days? Loved, loved, loved those back in the day.

Speaking of fu-fu drinks, has anybody ever tried some flavored rum from Jamaica from World's End? We just happened to grab a couple of bottles at the duty free on the way out, and the stuff turned out great. Can't find anyone in the KC area that's even heard of the stuff.

Martini etiquette, I love it.

My Wife LOVES these.

To be fair, he didn't post a recipe for a Martini, he posted cold gin.
And if you're making a Martini with Gin, slowly shake it, unlike Vodka, Gin will bruise.

I've heard that before. Personally, I keep a bottle in the freezer because I like mine really cold. Does that go against Martini etiquette? Not that I care, I'm just curious.

I did not read his post. I stopped once I read 'gin martini'. ;)

I don't like mint.

Is this a joke?

Mojito. With fresh mint leaves.

I've never had one, but they make my wife looser than normal.

i think i'll have some popcorn

Looser as in she gives it up more easily or looser as in you can shake it side to side and not hit the vag.? :p

Sounds like an allergic reaction.

Summer Brew. Used to make this for warm weather parties.

Take a frozen lemonade can thingy. Empty into cooler.
Fill can with vodka. Empty into cooler
8-12 beers (estimate). Empty into cooler.
Ice. Empty into cooler.

Drink. Take pictures. Hate life next morning.

No. I just don't care for mint.

I'll say!!

I know nothing of "mixed drinks" ... there are too many good beers out there to bother with anything else.

I've got a six pack of Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat, which is always good. Just thinking of something new. I could just try a new beer. If I don't like it, I can always take it over to dad's. He'll drink nearly anything.

I'd recommend a new beer, but I have no idea what you've had or not, and that would take a long time to figure out. There's still a few beers out there I haven't tried.

Boulevard makes a corked beer. I din't catch the name of it; has anybody seen or tried this?

There's a display at the PriceCutter I go to. It was like $7.99 for a bottle. A few different ales and stouts.

Yeah I haven't tried them either ... heard good things about them. I think they are all heavier, darker beers ...

An exotic flavor of schnapps. In fact, if you find a good one, let me know, because I need to invest in a bottle. I've always liked schnapps. I want to like it more.

lol

That sounds nasty.

They've got four out that I know of and they are all good beers. A Saison, a Double IPA,Tripel and a Quadruple I believe. The Saison, Tripel and Quad are Belgian inspired beers and very nicely done.

Isn't one of them called The Sixth Glass?

That's the quad.

I like all of Boulevard's beers except Zon.

It makes her less tense.

Here's a refreshing concoction I enjoy, especially in the summer. I'm sure it has a name but I don't know what it is.


In a tall glass, filled with ice.

Juice of 1/2 lime
1 part light rum
1 part cranberry - I like the no sugar added cranberry as opposed to the "cocktail"
2 parts club soda or tonic

Shake, drink, be happy.

dude that's gay

Good inexpensive vodka = Sobieski or Luksusowa Vodka from Poland Smirnoff's and Tito's.
Good inexpensive gin = Beefeater's, Seagrams

Buy one of the above, get some cranberry juice, grapefruit juice (I like the red) and/or a container of orange/pineapple/banana juice. A lemon or lime, if you like. Pour a shot of vodka over ice in a tall glass. Fill with juice, garnish with slice of lime/lemon. Fill another smaller glass with ice and water, garnish it with lime/lemon, too. Enjoy your drinks. Be sure you drink your glass of water before you repeat. When I was a real drinking man, drinking water between real drinks was a lifesaver.

list what you have on hand
-this thread has me thinking about a boiler maker
never had one -at least not in the same glass

I don't have much on hand. I had a bunch of nearly empty bottles of stuff when I moved. When I move, I tend to throw a lot of stuff away. I have some butterscotch schnapps and some kahlua that I keep on hand for putting in hot chocolate. I have maybe 8oz of Crown and 1/2 pint of Everclear in the freezer.

Getting ready to eat some dinner and then head to the store.

FWIW, Everclear and filtered water = vodka, for all intents and purposes. Buy some half and half, mix kahlua, everclear/water and cream for white russians. Drink a few, attack Georgia!

I drink old fashioneds around Christmast time. I've always seen them with an orange slice and marchiano cherry. My recipie:

About 2 tsp of sugar in the bottom of the glass.
3 drops of bitters
muddle an orange slice in the sugar and bitters

Add ice to the top of the glass.
Rye wiskey (my favorite over bourbon, Canadian Mist or Scotch, which are alternatives) about 3/4 of the way up the glass.
Add a little water.

Stir well and garnish with a marchiano cherry.

I haven't had one in a few years, but a Caipirinha is a great summer cocktail:

2 tsp granulated sugar
half a lime, wedged
2 1/2 oz cachaca

Muddle the sugar into the lime wedges in an old-fashioned glass. Fill the glass with ice cubes. Pour the cachaca into the glass. Stir well.

You're covered. Take the Crown out of the freezer, remove the lid, put the bottle to your lips, tip the bottle and repeat.
