The Evening Tipple...

[Smithy]

A bit of Raki and a cube.

Lovely drink mate and nice on a warmish evening.

Here it's been Kiwi Marlborough sauv blancs, big Aussie shirazes on the cooler nights, and the odd Johnnie Black Label with a snifter of water to keep Jack Frost at bay.

Thanks Chris. One of these days we're going to have to have a few drinks when we're in the same country and talk fishing :cheers1:

Marlborough Sauv Blanc - my wifes favourit!!!!!
I enjoy it too

Just picked up a bottle of Villa Maria Marlborough sauv blanc for this evening. Damn good if you haven't tried it before, might be a tad pricey in Europe and the States though.

Also picked up a bottle of Oomoo shiraz. This stuff is ridiculously good value here. Might have it tomorrow with some Italian grub.

This evening it will be Ti Punch,,, it's only a few hours away.

Make sure you don't substitute Cynar for either the rum or the lime.
I add passionfruit syrup instead of just the sugar stuff to give it more zing. I know, I just can't leave a drink recipe alone. Tweaking it to fit my tastes is sort of my passion.

Spitfire ale this evening, found some down at Dan Murphy's (local grog shop). Looking forward to it :beer:

Don't do this to me!!!!
Carlsberg - who was behind the import of Spitfire to this country - has stopped the import. The last couple of months it's been impossible to get that great ale anywhere in Denmark. Shame on Carlsberg!!!!

Last night I enjoyed a nice Gin & Gingerbeer.
Always hits the spot.

That's rough Soren. You want to hit them up to resume importing, failing that become the Danish distributor for Shepherd Neame

Had a few tankards of Carlton Draught and London Pride yesterday with a mate at his club. Fire was going and outside it was blowing a gale so the perfect way to waste an afternoon!

 

[Spitfire]

Fotunately we can still get London Pride here.
Good too - but not as good as Spitfire.:beer:

 

[Smithy]

It's a great drop Soren which I always enjoy.

Had a few Nobilo sauv blancs which were beautiful.

But it's getting chilly here so might have to hit a big red tonight, maybe a shiraz might do the trick...

Simple last night---Fosters---Beer mate.

Strangely enough James virtually nobody drinks Fosters in Aussie, you virtually never see it in a pub let alone on tap. You drink beer by state mostly here, Tooheys in NSW, Carlton here in Victoria, Swan in WA, etc. You just never see it let alone drink it.

Speaking of beer, I blew the froth off of a couple of pots of good old Carlton Draught last night down at the pub. Very refreshing

lol lol lol lol I figured it was a bunch of marketing hype. I guess I have an affinity for it due to how I remember first drinking it. It was 123 degrees in Las Vegas and they were selling it for $1 a large glass. Well, after walking the strip for quite a while, I was game to drink anything. Since then I have sort of liked it. I have a hard time finding it here---strangely enough.

Something very new, here at Tales of the Cocktail.

Actually it has been the last couple of weeks Soren, dropping down to 4 or so at night.

Missing Norway a little yesterday so we had Lysholm Linie Aquavit last night. We over indulged and to be honest I'm feeling a little jaded today. But I won in the poker so I guess it evens itself out

Nikka apple brandy for me last night...a locally produced calvados from apples in Aomori prefecture
