Anyone enjoying the drink tonight?

[Ernest Jones]

Laphroaig, or The Frog as I affectionately call it, is pretty much a staple of imported scotch so I don't think you'll have any trouble finding it in any store that sells scotch.

Enjoy. It's one of "the Big Smoke" so be prepared for aggressive (in a good way) peatiness

Rusty nails the last couple nights, then last night made something up with some Finnish lingonberry liqueur, vodka, and lemon juice. Not bad, but probably would have been better with some soda water.

Polished this off this evening mixed with Coke Zero. [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/image/id/195577/width/300/height/500][IMG]http://thesandtrap.com/image/id/195577/width/300/height/500[/IMG][/URL]

The whole bottle?

Have you ever tried Club Soda as a mix instead of Coke?

Not as sweet even though Coke Zero is sugar free.

I think the hardest part of drinking fruit-flavoured bourbon would be finding a pair of pink panties that fit.

I take that back, it was mean spirited and I apologize. I was drinking Talisker Single Malt at the time and I found the thought of berry-flavoured whiskey to be very off-putting. But, by all means, drink what you fancy, Nancy . Sorry, couldn't resist the "Nancy" line.

Brandy. Good.

Sleemans and cheap shampagne ...Happy New Years!

Rickards Red Draft with a pound of chicken wings is my New Years celebration.

Think what ya want, but it's good stuff and goes great with a case of beer, pint of Black Jack and a few Black & Milds. Oh, I don't wear draws, my balls don't fit. :-P

You ever tried Ardbeg out of interest? If you like peaty Scotch, this is a great dram. Try the 10y/o and work up. If you find some 17y/o it's heavenly albeit hard to find (and therefore pricey) now.

[Ernest Jones]

Absolutely LOVE Ardbeg. I think I posted about it a little further up. Fantastic unfiltered whisky.

[Ernest Jones]

In a low-ball glass:

2 1/2 ounce (or so...) of red vermouth (I recommend Martini Rosso but anything dry should work. Don't use Cinzano or any sweet red vermouths)

healthy squeeze of lemon

top up with soda

1/2 ounce (or so...) of vodka - always add the vodka last

enjoy

It's called a Chili, but I call 'em shortcuts as they have a way of sneakin' up on you, especially if your liberal on your measurements.

having just made another batch (or two) tonight, I would like to amend the recipe as follows: make it a full ounce of vodka.

Sam Adams "Alpine Spring" ale. Even though it's still winter, it's quite good!
