Guard Dog Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 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 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadySands Posted February 27, 2016 Author Share Posted February 27, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited February 27, 2016 by ShadySands Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted she tends to drink her fireball with hard ciders. edit: Hot chocolate sounds intriguing. edit 2: Cherry pepsi works decent.

ManifestedISO Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. All Stop. On Screen.

ShadySands Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 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 :/ 1 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadySands Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 The last time I was in Saint Petersburg the bourbon was flying off the shelf. It's probably super expensive now though Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guard Dog Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManifestedISO Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 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. 2 All Stop. On Screen.

Guard Dog Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 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.

ManifestedISO Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) 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 Edited March 14, 2016 by ManifestedISO All Stop.

Guard Dog Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 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. 1 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Thank you. Just checked my local store and they carry Woodford at a reasonable price. Half the cost of a brand new video game and lasts twice as long. All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManifestedISO Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Okay, goods are secure. Got a batch of Woodford and a small carrying case with six rounds of Ballast Point Dorado--a 10% double IPA with watermelon. Pretty much ready for Easter. 1 All Stop. On Screen.

ShadySands Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) I had some mediocre hard root beer, I'd give it a 1 out of 2, so I added a shot of bourbon to it and now it's easily a 9 out of 13 or 14 Edited April 15, 2016 by ShadySands 1 Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
