The drinking thread

Was in the mood for a mixed drink, so I picked up some fireball.  Now I'm trying to decide what to mix it with.  I have a cherry pepsi, I think I'll try that.  Should have got rumchata to go with it.

Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb would work

Hard apple cider, regular apple cider, cream soda, honey whiskey, hot chocolate, etc

 

Pretty much anything that sounds like it would go with cinnamon

 

 

Personally preference is a dry hard cider

I thought about that, but my wife hates the stuff and I know I'll need to share.  Granted she tends to drink her fireball with hard ciders.

 

edit:  Hot chocolate sounds intriguing.

 

edit 2:  Cherry pepsi works decent.  I really need to learn more about mixed drinks, they are a mystery to me.

Switching to White Russians. Tito's vodka from Austin, mocha-tinted coffee liqueur from old Mexico, half-and-half, whole milk. More like a Caucasian. 

 

Still love craft beer, but it goes right to my hips and the bacteria wars in the gut are taking its toll.

urgh, even good vodka is less than bueno. Feels like the one time that girl agreed to dance with you even though she didn't want to ... cold and uncomfortable.

 

Back to the warm embrace of ale, in moderation this time.

I've heard that infusing the vodka with coffee and/or chocolate can help give it some personality but I've only ever infused itwith horseradish so I dunno how the end product would turn out

 

I still can't drink but please have one for me :/

The beauty of vodka is that it assumes the flavor of whatever it is mixed with. The downside is you can't drink that trash straight. Unless you're Russian. But they don't make bourbon in Russia so they wouldn't know any different. :lol:

If some enterprising soul would plow up some of those wheat fields and plant yellow corn they could fix the bourbon deficiency and make a killing in the process.

 

I can't think of a single spirit in the world that tastes better on the rocks by itself in a glass than good Kentucky sour mash bourbon aged in charred oak at least 9 years.

Gotta be honest, not a bourbon fan.  Granted, I've only had one bottle (Knob Creek some years ago) but I just found it a bit too high proof for my tastes.  Personally, I'm a Scotch fan.  Of course, I also like straight vodka, so apparently I must be Russian...

Results are in for the after-action bourbon situation report. Confirming earlier intelligence, sour mash straight Kentucky aged bourbon proves superior in engagement. With a single ice cube, PSP ... or, perfect sipping point ... is achieved seconds before the ice completely melts. 

 

Test control subject included pot-distilled four-grain Hudson Valley bourbon, exhaustively determined to be secondary in categories of taste, color, maturity, and conviviality to Kentucky whiskey.

 

 

Also, happy day, California State Law no longer prohibits craft beer-tasting on the street at your local farmer's market.

Beer sampling was illegal in CA? WTF? That's half the fun of going to those craft beer fair/festival things they have in Overton Park.

Actually, the Hudson Four Grain bourbon is amazing. My buddy gifted me a 375, which is all it comes in, supposedly. 

 

 

*no, beer sampling was legal, just not at the same time as a farmer's market

You should try either Woodford Small Batch Reserve or Knob Creek Single Barrel. Woodford is the best sipping whiskey I've ever tried. Smoky with a clean finish. It'd kind of expensive but what the heck.
