One of my "standard" beers, in my new vintage glassware:

 

[jamespowers]

Drinking it without ice is like sipping turpentine. NASTY! Who the hell drinks booze raw?

Uh, look around in here.

 

[dnjan]

Seems like two separate issues - optimal temperature versus dilution.
I was introduced to martinis by a guy who mixed his up the night before and put the pitcher in the freezing compartment.
Chilled but not diluted.

 

[Tomasso]

I've done that.

 

[Lincsong]

Uh, look around in here.

Yeah, you want your booze warm and your steaks cold. That stuff was nasty. I'm still getting after taste in my throat in the morning. It's like chewing on Ex-Lax and washing it down with Listerine.

Drinking it without ice is like sipping turpentine.

That describes my experience with becherovka in Prague. It was like paint thinner with some cloves in it. Maybe there is good stuff, or maybe you aren't supposed to drink it straight (I blame the dinner cruise people).

You could always not eat or drink anything you know. There is a choice.

 

[jamespowers]

I've done that.

I do that as well with many different cocktails.

I am looking to learn, in the realm of cocktails, what I like. Does anyone have a suggestion for a guy who likes martinis and thinks that gin and tonic is too sweet to be particularly pleasent?

 

[Wally_Hood]

Martini, stirred, not shaken. Sipped.

Attention
Aviation
Milano
Vesper (try using Cocchi Americano rater than Lillet Blanc)
Gimlet (I use a smaller portion of Rose's and a large squeeze of lime)
Pink Gin
A Rose (Kirschwasser vermouth and gin)
Gin Fizz
Gin Ricky


And try using a premium tonic, some have a lot less sweeteners than the the Schweppes, Seagrams, Canada Dry,,,
Oh, and I mix my G&Ts 3:1. Contrary to what I might get accused of, I do this because of taste, not because I want to tank-up quickly. That part just happens.

Thanks. Those look really good. I am especially keen on trying the Milano and the Gin Rickey. A gimlet was on my list of to tries already. I should try a vesper, although I am normally against vodka.

And thanks for the tip on the tonic. I like the taste of the other flavors, the ones that make tonic tonic, but the sweetness is a bit much, in my opinion. I will have to try some better tonic.

I have found that a very well made Mojito is very good. (Well made meaning they don't skimp out on the rum, alot of them around here taste watered down...)

 

[Ethan Bentley]

Some Orange Gin

 

[Boodles]

Mr. Fish, please explain further about premium brands of tonic. I'm using Schweppes 99% of the time and don't know about better brands.
