What Did You Drink Last Night?

[jamespowers]

There is no reasonable combination of gin, simple syrup, and bitters that is potable. Better to drop the syrup in favor of the lime juice.

Unless of course you have a citrus allergy. Replace lime with something else for me. Throw some cherry pucker in it if you want sour. lol lol

A whisky mac, but, with brandy instead of the scotch... not sure its a winning combo, however, the more I drink the better it gets

Yeah, with brandy it might be a stretch as they are both essentially wines. Like mixing two wines together to make a cocktail. I could see it being done with gin and other types of whiskey though.

Yeah, but its not grape + grape; ginger wine is quite a different beast... however, there is something about the mellow(er) nature of brandy over scotch that fails it... it needs the bite of scotch to work.

True. I was thinking more wine = wine though. Brandy just doen't have the character Scotch has. There are so many different types of scotch that you can literally use it to match any taste.

Hey, I used to drink that stuff. I soon quit with the soda and went to water. I don't remember why, I guess because I had to BUY soda and the water was just there. Dewar's is a decent blend for Scotch.

Later

Jura is potent Scotch. I hope it didn't overpower the pipe.

 

[Gregorian]

Rochefort 10, Trappist Ale.

 

[anon`]

Not last night, but tonight.

Champagne!

Why? Because we (my girlfriend and I) just took our last finals today and--barring all hell breaking loose--will be newly-minted juris doctors in just over a week. Oh yeah.

It worked well. Better still last night a bruised Dalmore
and Ashton classic Churchill. Not a big classic fan but good pairing.

The Dalmore Cigar Malt? That is a decent one and I have a bottle or two but they are not worth the price. Dalmore is a good pairing with just about any cigar really.

Ah! The Dalmore Cigar Malt!

If your talking about the original The Dalmore Cigar Malt, exquisite:eusa_clap; not so much the 'Cigar Malt -"reserve" :eusa_doh:. That pales in comparison. Still have 4 bottles left and a dram in the "fifth" (pun intended). Pitty they discontinued it.

[Auld Edwardian]

A very nice Columbia Crest Shiraz.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Good, good. Just needed to unwind a bit. Feels good to just relax and not do anything besides enjoy the day. (Even though I spent the first half of it doing chores )
