Keyrock Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Melodrama aside, I'm not big on mixing scotch, reason being that the good stuff is too good to mix and the cheap stuff is raw sewage not fit for human consumption. I generally stick to rum for mixing with brown sugar water RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally stick to rum for mixing with brown sugar water The scotch drinks I've made and can vouch for are the blood and sand and a minty scotch old fashioned I made after reading about it. Frankly, I'm not a fan of mixing anything with carbonated sugar water because for everything that can work with it I can think of something better to make. Now something I am fond of mixing is hot chocolate and bourbon or Irish whiskey. It's surprisingly good, the whiskey cuts through the dense chocolate and opens it up nicely. Adding amaretto or a cream (chocolate) liqueur makes it amazing.

Keyrock Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I generally don't mix with whisky, but if I do then there are better whisky choices to mix with than scotch IMHO.

Gfted1 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Mexican Coke is really good (I think the difference is that Mexican Coke uses real sugar, while US Coke uses high fructose corn syrup) but I dont recall having ever seen it for sale in the US. Probably need to go to a small specialty store that caters to the Mexican community.

Keyrock Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I mean, high fructose corn syrup is real sugar, but I know what you mean. I believe Mexican Coke uses cane sugar. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorth Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 As a foreigner, I get the impression the US food industry puts copious quantities of corn syrup in *everything* (both food and drinks). Might explain why some things are described as "bland", if it tastes like everything else Trying to expand my horizon a bit when it comes to red wines. I've been a Shiraz fanboy for two decades (I love the strong, spicy flavour), but I'm sure there are other good grapes out there. I've just no idea which ones 1 “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Even restaurants put sugar into everything including their entres. So very annoying. I hate even the slightest of sweetness in my main meal. Sweetness should be limited to drinks, desserts and some breakfast foods and that's it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My next batch of mead finished fermenting a few days ago. Even with only a few days to mellow, it's not really harsh. In terms of strength, I'd say it's in decently strong beer territory, maybe around 6%. I can definitely taste the raspberries, but not the mint, I'll use more next time. My goal is to make something closer to weak wine strength, around 9 or 10%. Baby steps.

Keyrock Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Hot dang, my local ABC Spirits had not just the good stuff, but the really good stuff: Surprisingly, this was less than $10 more than the 12 year old Dewar's I usually drink. Typically, once you go older than 12 year old whisky the price rises sharply. I've only had the 15 year old once before and it's so dang smooth and delicious that I may drink the whole bottle by mistake and start drunk posting. If you see some really stupid posts from me, worse than my usual really stupid posts, you know what happened.
