T Smith said:Update, this stuff is awful! Tastes like they set fire to the barrel, then strained it through peat moss and dirt, then maybe cut it with shoe polish.

Mysterious Mose said:lol You forgot to mention the iodine.
Ain't that a flavour? Absolutely marvellous stuff ! I read somewhere that Laphroaigh was considered medicinal and therefore it was still available during the prohibition. Better than Hub's Jamiaca Ginger anyway.
My friends from Argentina drink Fernet Branca, always with cola. As a matter of fact, if you ask for it from them you'll get with cola automatically. I like neat, but for sure, two ounces will do.Doran said:I had drunk a smallish shot of Fernet-Branca slightly over a year ago with Paddy and FedoraGent in North Beach, SF, and I had liked it fine as a "before the serious drinking stomach coater." However, last night the friends I was drinking with, poured about 6 ounces in a glass for me. Rather gross. Too much.

This is similar, and I think superior: https://www.underberg.com/index/en/flash/Intro-Flash.html
I get this from a German butcher, I've never even seen it in a liquor store. It only comes in tiny bottles.
Champers & Underberg???[huh]Darhling said:Underberg!! what a flashback.. I had to drink a bottle when I had a tummyache as a kid, I thought it tasted horrible though.

Nah...
How about a Negroni topped with Champagne? Mmmmm...
I haven't, please share...Darhling said:Have you ever had an English 75? Very nice indeed.
rumblefish said:Aviation; with a nice fat Meyer lemon for the juice!
Tons of juice from one lemon, and to me, a little less aspirin tasting. And yes, the rind is useless. Almost oil free.Boodles said:Say, Rumble, what is the story on the Meyer lemons? I can see that those are large but is there more to it than that? I tried a couple to use for twists but the rind was not the greatest.
Are you able to find Luxardo for the Aviation?
