Title: This thread is about adult beverages
Post by: noisyturtle on Sat, 20 October 2012, 22:43:54
What do GH'ers pour in their glass after a long day? Personally, I am a man of distinguished mustache and cigar flavored steak tastes. Drink of choice being scotch and sometimes cognac, but mostly scotch. Ardbeg Uigeadail and The Glenlivet 18 Year Old Speyside are currently my favorites among the golden ichor of the gods known as scotch. What's in your glass?

This stuff right here, oh yes please.

I like beer. Belgian sours and west coast style IPAs most of all. just picked up some St. Georges B&E bourbon that I find quite good. Had a bottle of glenlivet 21 that I was quite fond of a while ago but it is long gone :D

I'm mostly a beer man myself. But when I'm not enjoying my Canadian or Coors light (feel free to rip my head off) I enjoy a good gin with carbonated water and a bit of lemon (not tonic or club soda, too sweet). I used to have a drink "sparkler" that would carbonate my drinks for me but it got recalled for exploding. I miss that device.

You know how I feel about you drinking coors light! Also, club soda is just carbonated water...tonic is the sweet stuff. Your sparkler was just making club soda :D

When I have money, I like to drink IPAs. But most of the time I buy whatever is on sale, cause I needs me fix.

Oh and I do enjoy my cider, miss being able to buy my favorite...Ontario sucks for booze really.

But when I get to have my choice of beer i'll drink Asahi.  It's my favourite beer ^_^

But again, that's only beer.  My real favourites are Scotch & Jagermeister.

I tried the Strawberry Lime and Apple Blackcurrant flavours of Rekordelig Cider for the first time the other day - pretty great stuff.

Otherwise, I'm usually happy with just a simple beer, mostly Coronas.

Something in the vodka line usually goes down quite well. Wisent is very smooth. Absolut vanilla is another favourite.

Or a simple beer, probably Asahi, Kirin or Corona in that order.

@ 80proof,  Travelers Club Vodka comes out to

$14/ Liter of pure alcohol
1.4 cents per milliliter of pure alcohol
62 cents per shot of pure alcohol

Yes, I realised that.  Absolut 100 is actually kinda expensive, compared to other vodkas.

Probably something like Stolichnya is one of the cheaper ones in Australia (been a while since I compared prices as I generally buy it for taste, per se, rather than economy or volume).

It's sold in Brooklyn liquor stores.  At the bar I work at we use it in one of our house drinks.

Not usually snobby with my booze. Vodka tastes the same to me at every level, as does rum and gin. The only time price == quality is with single malt scotch vs mixed scotches and micro brew beers or imports vs US piss water like bud/coors/pbr/really any beer you can also buy at a gas station.

If they are selling proper Żubrówka, they are breaking some laws. It's actually banned in the US due to the coumarin content. You can get some that is not made in the traditonal manner with artifical flavor in the US, but it is crap in comparison.

I've become a fan of a new bourbon that's being made here in Nashville. Technically, it's being made in Kentucky, but they're working on bringing it back to Nashville, where it started.

It's called Belle Meade Bourbon and it's made by Greenbrier Distillery (http://www.greenbrierdistillery.com/home.html). The original recipe actually pre-dates Jack Daniels, but their great-great-great grandfather stopped production when prohibition started.

There's a good bit of rye in the whiskey, which gives it a heavier, somewhat peaty flavor to it. I quite like it.  :p[attachimg=1]

My alcoholic tastes vary with the seasons and the moment.  Most of the time, I am a beer snob that will only drink local microbrewries with the occassional one-step-above-bottom-of-the-barrel wine.  I never spend more than $20 on a bottle of wine, and do not know much about wine.  With liquor, I only like to drink vodka tonics.  Hard liquor just makes me feel terrible and I do not even enjoy sipping on a good bourbon or scotch.  Just not my thing.

Then I go on these streaks for a month when all I want is 1.5L bottles of cheap wine and passable cheap lagers like Rolling Rock and Olympia while I lounge around the house for a day or so.  Doing chores with a few beers in you makes it so much better.

Actually making them with chocolate ice cream gives it a much more creamy consistency and is dangerously delicious. I used chocolate milk because I was out of half and half, and was using toasted marshmallow flavored vodka.

Well, chocolate cream doesn't work as chocolate powder and cream don't mix all that well, and straight cream is still better than chocolate milk(or at least the somewhat skinny milk in my fridge).
Although I will have to try it with chocolate ice cream someday, that sounds amazing.

Ayy Happy New Year, wadda ya drinkin?

Tonight I'm having Devil's Margharitas:
1.5oz blanco tequila
3/4oz lime juice
3/4oz simple syrup
place in shaker with ice and strain into glass
add 1oz red wine on top

I remember now why I generally don't make cocktails. They are messy and a bear to make, and by the time you get to 3 or 4 the recipe is out the window.

I thought about this myself..

I wonder if there really is any room for an adult to have fun.

Or is self-awareness merely the final reckoning and recognition that Life is a treacherous death game, rife with only traps.

Every year I lean more and more on the possibility that There-is-no-cake, and that my consciousness is only passenger on this greater scheme of being alive.

it was definitely an acquired taste. I've had bad experiences with gin martinis, but still continue to drink straight gin

Tanqueray is my preferred, but Bombay and Hendricks are also good. Tanqueray #10 is overrated IMO.

Literally grabbed as many bottles of Jager as possible and hopped the first steam ship @ bremerhaven. 1880's were brutal. **** that noise.

I'll branch out to other herbal liquors eventually. Probably start with Bärenjäger. Then maybe Underberg, Fernet-Branca, Becherovkaor, or possibly some Gammel Dansk if I can find it. *shrugs*
