What Did You Drink Last Night?

[djhatman]

Had a glass of Bulleit Bourbon. I'm not normally a bourbon drinker but have found it a nice switch from my normal scotch. Goes down much easier in the heat of summer.

I have heard mixed things about them and don't know if I want to spend the money to see if they work. Maybe someday I will find someone who already has them and give them a try then.

Listening to the concerti grossi of Archangelo Corelli and finished off my bottle of Ricards Pastis.
At 7:30 PM it was still 100F here. Pastis quenches my dry palate.

Too much bourbon. One day I will learn…there are three things that I should keep apart on week nights. My old Gibson, my porch rocking chair and my Jim Beam. Any two of them together isn't too dangerous. All three together always spells trouble.

My friend, that could be the recipe for genius.

 

[Renault]

I stand corrected. That usually the recipe for genius!

A friend of mine gave me a bunch as he is a liquor rep and they were promos for Laphraoig. Works for me.

I was looking at the sad, scraggly state of the azalea bushes by my garage, and discovered they were surrounded by wild growing mint, probably escaped from some previous owners herb garden. Anyway, I promptly did the only reasonable thing to do....made mojitos.

And used RoundUp on the rest.

They are a SERIOUS weed here. You do not leave them in an area that you do not want them to take over. :doh:

I can see that. Fortunately it is confined to a small strip between the house and drive. I'm happy to make use of it, but if it ever manages to escape across the concrete into the yard proper, it'll be round up time.

Had to work a while this a.m., then polished off the rum in a few more mojitos this afternoon. Got a bottle of malbec ready for dinner later.

Tonight Redd's apple ale. My wife buys it for herself and I help myself to it.

You are my kind of man, Dale! :eusa_clap

Springbank 12 yo 175th Anniversary. I've had a few bottles of this laying around for quite some time. This bottle needed a good dusting.

 

[Alex Oviatt]

I had a Pink Gin Martini from a recipe from this blog: http://blythesblog.com/

More SB 175th.

We spent the last week at Folly Beach and Charleston, SC. One night we went out to eat at Shim Creek. They had an "oyster martini" on the menu, so (naturally) I just had to try one.

I like raw oysters. I like a good vodka martini. I like cocktail sauce to eat with oysters. However, put them all together into a drink and, well, not that good. But, I was the only one at the table who had the guts to get one, and to drink it down to the last drop.

 

[1mach1]

You are a true adventurer Big Man!

 

[dh66]

Nowhere near enough vodka there. Maybe if the oyster were sitting in the bottom of the bottle, like the little worm in the tequila bottle.

Tonight the wife and I had some peach/mango daiquiris. They were good, but kind of too sweet to do much of, so I switched to St. Pauli Girl.
