Keyrock Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Not alcohol... well, actually it is, just very low alcohol %, but I've been drinking a ton of Kombucha lately. The jury is out on its health benefits, though I've been a lifelong believer in fermented foods and probiotics in general. Even if there are no benefits, I just think it's delicious. I generally just go for the original ginger kind, not any of the fancy flavored varieties. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

Keyrock Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Quite sweet and fruity with a very mellow finish. I'm also drinking White Claw. I'd frankly rather be drinking beer, but beer has a ****ton of calories and I'm trying to get back into shape. The struggle is real.

Azdeus Posted July 30, 2020 Posted July 30, 2020 Drinking a Dark and Stormy, I'm quite enjoying it, though the ice is melting quite fast, the dilution on the end made it quite alot less tasty.

This reminds me of c0cktail I used to love when I was young, called "Titanic". Take a pint of beer, preferably stout or porter, but works with any really, and drop a shot glass onto its surface to float. Then fill it with vodka until it sinks.

ShadySands Posted August 28, 2020 Author Posted August 28, 2020 A little twist on a highball. Highball glass, rocks, whiskey (Mitcher's Bourbon because that's what I have on hand), black cherry White Claw, and a dash of cherry bitters. I'm pleased as Punch 1 Free games updated 3/4/21

kanisatha Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 I am a very strictly beer guy, but recently tried some Disaronno and really loved it. Can any of you recommend other similar liqueurs I might therefore enjoy for me to try?

Up until April of this year all Vodkas were required to be odorless, flavorless and colorless. So you might as well just keep the bottle and refill it with the cheap stuff, legally you should be able to tell the difference. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.
Gfted1 Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 I Googled the Chopin, and color me surprised, but there is a rye and wheat version. I thought all vodka came from potatos! "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
ShadySands Posted September 14, 2020 Author Posted September 14, 2020 I think it's mostly grain vodka though it can be made out of a lot of different things. I personally think potato vodka has more character to it but prefer grain when making mixed drinks because it's more neutral. 2 Free games updated 3/4/21
Keyrock Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Grain vodkas are definitely more common than potato vodkas. If you were to walk into a liquor store and grab a bottle of vodka blindly there's roughly a 80% chance that it will be a grain vodka. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

bugarup Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 I never even heard of official potato vodka before. There's potato moonshine obviously but even then grain 'shiners in my parts used to look down on tater 'shiners for being cheapskate philistines of booze...or so I heard.

Raithe Posted September 16, 2020 Posted September 16, 2020 The Vodquila was an interesting experiment, and worked quite well with a dash of proper ginger beer.... 1 1 "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
