What are you Drinking?

[mongers]

I may have to give up drinking alcohol. :gasp:

Went out for a lunchtime drink on Friday, and it left me completely buggered for the rest of the day and not feeling 100% all the next day; I shall have to conduct some scientific experiments to see if I need to give up booze.

Obscene amounts of diet soda.  It's really hot.

Last night I had half a bottle of 16th Anniversary Oak Aged DIPA from Great Divide. OK, I guess.

Drank a lot of Tanduay in the Philippines, it's an awesome Rum.

Goes surprisingly well with spinach pie.

Went on the Jim Beam distillery tour today.

At the end, they had us taste Red Stag and Booker's.

Red Stag = watered down and flavored with black cherry.  So IOW, a bitch drink.

Booker's = JESUS.  Enouraging people to drink Booker's straight (it's ~125 proof)... NOT a good way to peddle the product.  I liked it once I cut it with water, though.  Still not as good as Woodford Reserve.

I used Princesca's employee discount to buy some glassware and another JB tshirt.

I just made the best mojito ever using Bacardi's recipe:

1 1/2 oz Bacardi rum (the regular stuff)
club soda
12 mint leaves
1/2 lime
2 tbsp simple syrup

Muddle 12 fresh mint leaves and 1/2 a lime. Cover with 2 Tbsp. of simple syrup or 1 Tbsp. of sugar and top with ice. Add 1 1/2 oz of BACARDI Superior Rum and top with Club Soda. Stir well and garnish with a lime wedge and sprig of mint.

Thisted Limfjord Porter - a bottom fermented Baltic porter with lots of smoked malt, and some liquorice root. Deliciously Danish!

Also - drinking it at the brewer recomended 8-10 degrees, which is a hell of a lot colder than I usually drink my porter, brings out some good acidity and keeps the hops and smoke under control.

Mississippi finally gets Russian Standard vodka.

But I still drink Boru.  Bang for the buck the best wheat vodka out there.

Right now, am drinking PBR while I am weatherproofing my old office.

Glenlivet 15 year.

Got some fairly cheap Calvados (17.99/75cl) and enjoying it beaucoup.
