What are you drinking?

[NorthDakota]

Diet sprite and peach crown. Perfect for hot day.

That sounds kinda nice. Though our hot days are over up this way. 70 today.

Local taproom where I live had some Trillium on tap. Had the Olmstead, Com Ave and Stillings. Really good. Super smooth, fluffy, not overly sweet and dry Hazy IPA’s. Top notch!

 

[Ndaccountant]

4 fingers rye old fashioned, with extra bitters.

 

[Bluto]

Spin on a whiskey sour.

3/4 oz ginger syrup
1 oz fresh lemon juice
1 oz fresh grapefruit juice
2 oz of bourbon
1 egg white

Shake with ice. Strain and serve with mint or sage garnish. Awesome.

Had Blantons finally this week on a date night with the wife,… 12 dollar doubles on the rocks which I thought was amazing for something I’ve had hyped to me that I had never even seen in person until that moment. It was very good.

Last night I polished off my Buffalo Trace and today I saw a bottle of Eagle rare for 40 bucks at the local liquor store so I jumped on it. Trace and Blantons seem more related to me than this Rare. The ER is just ok which is exactly what I thought when I tried it years ago.

Yes I make it a few times a year,… it’s fun but it needs to sit for months to a year before it’s any good.

I have a batch of blackberry and a batch of strawberry lemon in the closet,… both should be ready around May

Wife also got some fig mead from a Texas meadery for Xmas too

If you are looking for a bery good bourbon, try the Woodford Reserve masters collection. Its not easy to find and runs about $140/bottle, but its really good.

Edit: l personally like no. 19 the Sonoma triple finish or the historic barrel entry.

In sunny Florida for the holidays 😎

Drinking Oberon Eclipse with the old man on the lanai as we talk football.

 

[NDohio]

At the in-laws…not drinking enough…

Sitting outside the condo in sunny Florida by the grill 😎. Drinking a Yuengling and getting ready to grill some bratwurst for pregame lunch.

Guinness for strength during every Irish game. It's the only way. Perfect with buffalo wings. Puts the fire out on the back end iykwim.

 

[Pete]

About to make a Bloody Mary for the game.

I'm not a big drinker, but I've been in the mood for some bourbon lately. I'm not a bourbon expert... only really know Wild Turkey 101 and Maker's Mark. Any recommendations for something really good in that price range?

 

[zelezo vlk]

Having a beer called Texas hazy IPA. Seemed appropriate

Seconded on Four Roses, good daily drinker and has more expensive options if you want to get fancy

Long branch, Buffalo Trace, Elijah Craig, yellow rose are all good options around that range

Edit: see I’m late but most agree,… four roses is a decent call too

 

[Fbolt]

Woodford for me. Along with Bailey's and java earlier in the evening

 

[T-Boone]

Sligo, which is a stout ale. Foghorn brewery Newcastle. Very potent.

Opening up a bottle of dram to celebrate a great 2023. Cheers to you all.

Airborne. Wife has flu, two kids with ear infections, and the third has strep. Happy New Year!

Champagne and French 75s with the leftovers.

French 75 might be my favorite cocktail of all time. Turns out lemonade has a flaw: the water.
