Very dirty martini with Bombay Sapphire socially.  A good amaro after dinner goes a long way too ...

I've gone through several bottles of sapphire, and off brand

i find sapphire over rated... it's just ahight...

After you add the tonic soda... it pretty much just tastes like the tonic soda..

Malphas, is that for real or a mock up?  I do remember white lightning though.

I like it but wouldn't go wow.  IMHO there is no spirit that is out of this world.  A lot go in and out if fashion.  Heard a lot about patron for example, I took in a whiff and nearly threw up.

Free alcohol is my favorite alcohol

[tp4tissue]

Free alcohol is my favorite alcohol

But it's never actually free, unless you steal it.

If you go to a party... there are expenses, the cost of travel, some labor (drink doesn't pour itself), and if you're drinking properly, there's also the bus-fare home...

So... yup.. free alcohol... very rare..

Isn't that how all alcoholic drinks should be?


Edit: Can anyone recommend me some 100% Proof Vodka? Absolut Black was pretty good but not amazing.

mmmmmmmm...........

well.......

now we're getting into   mx red... vs mx black.....

Maybe there should be an intermediate  blackish-red (maroon) perhaps..

It's very much real. I've drank literally hundreds of bottles of it. They've changed their value range branding to this now though:

Unfortunately yes, it's very real.

True.


It depends on the weather and occassion, my preference is a large measure of Vodka, 3 large ice cubes and a wedge of lime.

Stolichnaya (blue label)

Interesting, is it better than Absolut Black?

[SpAmRaY]

I prefer 99% for PCB cleanup

[Malphas]

I've never actually tried Absolut Black, I don't think, so I can't compare. I like Absolut generally though, and the only real criticism I can think someone could have with it is it could be considered overly bland (which others would consider smooth, depending on your preferences). I would say Stoli has more characteristic vodka flavour (even though vodka isn't meant to have a flavour), so in that respect you might prefer it. My two favourite vodkas are Russian Standard and Stoli, but I like them for completely different reasons. Russian Standard is incredibly easy to drink and is ideal when you just want to add alcohol to something, whilst Stoli is what I would consider a "classic" Russian vodka to taste like and I drink it the way I'd drink a decent gin,; e.g. on the rocks, in a martini, or with a mild mixer like tonic or soda water.

what's wrong with it.. 

tesco is like british walmart.

if walmart had their own gin, that's wouldn't be a huge deal..

i don't see any controversial tesco news that doesn't follow any other large chain stores.

It's amazing how much packaging influences people's perceptions.

Probably the fact that the previous one could actually be used as a paint thinner, and such like.

And for the record, Asda is the British Walmart, on account of the fact they're owned by Walmart.

I'm from London so know tesco all too well just had never seen the spirits section.  Let's say that if you like fine spirits the same way as mechanical keyboards you would equate tesco value gin to a rubber dome keyboard you could pick up at the pound shop.

[baldgye]

I don't know... I don't really have a favorite... though when I'm out I tend to stick to Carling becasue it's nice and pretty cheap

is it "that" bad.. or is more CM QFR of gin.

[synerr]

Going by past experience of tesco value fizzy water, soap, and frozen vegetables, tesco value gin is a road I won't be going down.

For strong alcohol, I prefer rum, but I like beer, wine and cider for an alcohol with a meal. I prefer white wine, many beers and sparkly string cider.

beer.

Beer, but not pilsners, lagers, or most ales (there are some exceptions).  Following that it's a decent tequila or clean whiskey, but usually tequila.
