What Are You Sipping on Lately? (Spirits Thread)

M_Six · 11-07-2016, 06:10 PM

This calls for a drink. I was going to go dry tonight and save my drinking for tomorrow, but what the heck.

UncleWede · 11-07-2016, 07:59 PM

Is it bad if I pray for wine at the rosary tonight? Since M_Six is going dry

I was weak. I gave in to the urge and I'm now enjoying a Gentleman Jack. So sue me.

Going with the wolfhound Irish whiskey tonight. But not with my big fancy single round ice cubes. Saving those for another day.

This thread should be full steam ahead, given recent happenstance.

Tonight I bring you Patron Anejo, poured very healthy over ice in a salt-rimmed crystal old fashioned glass, with a 1/4 lime garnish and light squeeze.

My sipping masterpiece:

Or my personal favorite: Grand Marnier or a Orange Liqueur. Yum!

Most excellent beer. Bells can pretty much do no wrong in my opinion. My son and I agreed that when the zombie apocalypse hits, we will head for Kalamazoo, MI to enjoy our final days at the Bells brewery....

No GM for that drink, that evening, it had nothing except tequila and ice, the lime was used to rim the glass for salt stickiness, and a mild squeeze. It was not remotely tart. It reminds you of a very well prepared, strong, high-end craft margarita, and it made me do a subconscious "Mmmm" on most sips.

VRG_135 · 11-13-2016, 04:16 PM

Had a very strange drink at a place called "Mexican sugar" the other night. I ordered a specialty margarita they had made with Cazadores. Amazingly they mixed the salt for the rim with a minute amount of white pepper. Was really kind of gross. Not a fan of the spicy margarita.

Depends. Down in Mexico, they serve Bloody Marias, and in that place it just works. Also, went out to dinner with friends and they ordered jalapeno margaritas and liked them. That didn't sound appealing, but I guess it is a "thing".

There was a trend a few years ago with adding chilies to every spirit and even beer. I still have a bottle of some chocolate chili coffee liquor. As far as I'm concerned keep the spicy in the food.

UncleWede · 11-13-2016, 06:23 PM

Even the wife and her sister did not approve of jalapeño in Margarita and they eat jalapeño with EVERYTHING

Last night I went Lynchburg Lemonade because that was the only "mixer" at my parents house. When that ran out I tried Lynchburg Root Beer. Where are those raccoons "You got to try this it's so bad"

VRG_135 · 11-13-2016, 06:26 PM

It's actually an excellent restaurant, just kind of funny they would pepper up the salt. I would highly recommend going there if you live in Dallas or Collin county

I made a peppercini martini once was horrid.
