Some sauvignon blanc that I believe is out of Chile.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Tide and Its Takers

Friend of mine is owner/operator of this excellent local new craft beer operation.
He named this beer after the title of Album made by a mutual friend.

As much as I like the idea of buying fresh beer by the growler, it requires such a commitment.  Once you crack the seal you have about 24 hours before it goes flat.  I have two full growlers in the fridge calling my name but must resist...

4 shots of Malibu and maybe 5 shots of Soju in two hours, maybe more, I lost ocunt,

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

Got a bottle of this to try it.







Was severely unimpressed. I guess you have to make Caipirinha out of it. Looked up the recipe (it's on the back of the bottle). Lime, that cachaca stuff and two spoonfuls of sugar. Doesn't sound all that MIM-friendly, as I'm not a sugar freak.

I strongly disagree unless it is a flavored mojito. Mint by itself is a bit much.

I had a shot or two of cachaca by itself.  Nothing to write home about.

A caipirinha... with all that lime juice it is NOT a sweet drink, even with the cachaca and the sugar.  They're not bad honestly.

I wonder if you can buy cachaca in Alberta.  I have a notion to invite some people over, make a moqueca (Bahian fish stew) and serve caipirinhas...

Caipirinhas are fine as far as mixed drinks go.

I tried some ouzo that someone gave me. Mixed it with some water and it still tastes nasty - though admittedly I think goes down a little easier than absinthe.
