What Did You Drink Last Night?

Now we're getting there!



I know, I know.........and he's burning off the alcohol, too!

Afternoon Rue,

I can never see the point in just having "one"......all that effort, and it's gone in a gulp! :beer:

As an aside, there appears to be far too much talk about things like coffee and hot drinks.....ye Gods! I did have to check that I was in the correct (alcoholic) thread!

Danny O,
Surely you realize we were having alcoholic coffee drinks? Is there any other kind? *LOL*

Hi BD,

Ah, I thought you'd go for that! I'll stick to the "French 75's"

Oooh, now that sounds good. I'll have a 'French 75'!

Hi BD,

Ah....right, got you now, a fair explanation. There's nothing like a bit of coffee, in your alcohol..!

p.s. One "French 75" on the bar for you, try not to let the bubbly go flat this time, whilst you dance your way down the Club's "shots" list! :dance:

 

[Danny Ocean]

Predictably, it was "French 75's", on Friday night, followed by the obligatory Tanqueray Ten & tonic on Saturday (whilst waiting for the bubbles to settle down, in the champagne & Chambord!).

Oh, and I nearly forgot to mention, the very nice 15 yr old Dalwhinnie single malt, on Sunday....

Dalwhinnie? Good man!
That reminds me that I am just about out. BevMo here I come.

I had trouble getting to sleep last night so I made my favorite bedtime cocktail, a milk punch. I found the recipe in a 1st edition of the Mr. Boston Bartender Guide (1935):

1 measure whiskey (2oz)
1 lump of granulated sugar (about 1/2 tablespoon)
Fill glass with milk (about 4oz)
Shake hard with cracked ice (until milk become frothy)
Strain into a old fashion glass
Top with grated nutmeg or cinomin (if desired)

You'll be ready foe dreamland pronto!

My grandfather used to drink something like that to help him sleep too, but his had bourbon in it.

Hi James,

Apart from bourbon, which would be my usual choice (yes, I know you don't like it!), I tend to opt for an Islay malt, Laphroaig in particular. The Dalwhinnie is very pleasant, and quite spicy, and the taste lingers for some time.

I also have some Talisker, and Singleton Of Dufftown, although my preference will undoubtedly be the Talisker, being a more "peaty" Island malt.

Roll on the weekend!

If you like Talisker then you would like Lagavulin. That is likely peaty enough.
There is also the Peat Monster from Golden Compass if you REALLY want to get peaty.

Bourbon would make it worse.

But the milk coated it

You can still taste the charcoal.

Well I can't answer for that lol

Hi Rue, and good afternoon to you.

James definitely DOES NOT do bourbon! *yucky* That I remember, from a previous post!

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is peaty, very peaty. I'm surprised you can't serve it like a slice of cake! I've found that with mates around, it doesn't last too long though! The last time we were shovelling snow, is was a bottle in less than two hours, if I remember correctly!

I had a Laphroaig 10 year old a while back and noticed that it isn't as peaty as it once was. I think I mentioned it somewhere before but I read an article that said they make a fair amount of dough from selling their whisky to blenders and blenders are cutting back on the peat in their blends. Perhaps it is a reaction to that. Several other whisky aficionados mentioned that it isn't the same as well.

That's an understatement. In Malt Advocate's last issue they mentioned one distiller that actually puts burnt planks of wood in the burnt barrel with the bourbon.

Excellent. Just a little too expensive to become my favorite red.
