What do you like to drink?

To tell you the truth I don't drink any thing stronger than Pop!! But Hell Pop was a Bourbon man so I would have to say Bourbon!

Freedom - I'm a Bourbon gal as well. I love a nice cold beer, but I rarely drink any liquer ever nowadays. I use to be just like you Freedom, 4 nights a week, love jaguermeister, but it doesn't like me back anymoer. Now it's maybe once a month or sometimes 1 ever couple of months...if I go out. Lol, prioties change and I'd rather stay home these days, I look forward to that so much more then I use to. I remember a time when getting out was more important then sleep, now sleep and home are the hardest things to get.....funny how that goes, every thing gets all ass backwards (hey, maybe I had one to many a bourbon in my day)lol Hek

Jager-bombs are my favorite, but I usually only drink about two of them, before it's straight from the bottle...

What do I like to drink?

STOUT STOUT STOUT STOUT!

STOUT STOUT STOUT STOUT!

I'm a great lover of stout, as well. Have to drink in moderation, though; that stuff fills you up like a meal.

Jaeger? Are you still in your teens? (Joking...)

I ordered some the other night and I remembered why I hate that candy imitating drink.

I think I just wanted the can of red bull...so I said give me a Jaeger Bomb. Tasted like old liquorish. Bleh.

_____________

I drink Patron. Lots of it. My favorite shot.

Other than that, I drink Miller Light, Corona, Blue Moon when I go out. Guilty pleasures are "lemonade" or "sugar" drinks...but I never drink those when I'm out...

Comeon. Are you honestly going to talk to a guy drinking a Smirnoff at the Bar?

If you are going to drink Jaeger try a 'bee'. It is a form of black and tan only made with Jaeger and Baron jaeger. Use a tall thin shot glass - poor in the Jaegermeister until the glass is about half full then poor the Baron Jaeger in. The Baron Jaeger will sink to the bottom and is honey flavored - so when you do the shot you get the honey flavor and not the stale liquorish after taste.

Hell, yes. Imperial, if you please.

Yeah, it tastes like @!$%#, but it'll straight buck you up. I don't prefer the taste of any type of alcohol, I just like the effects...

Speaking about drinking Freedom...

Hekofawoman is having a B-Day partyfor me if anyone wants to drink some virtual booze.=)

I hope all my friends here will celebrate with us.

Thanks Freedom! Please drop by the party. All the cake you can eat and all you could ever wish to drink and not a single calorie or a hangover;).

You sound like my kind of girl, nothing like a ice cold jaeger and a 1554 to start the night.

a 1554 to start the night.

Just no 1886, please. Glad it finally got nerfed.

nothing harder than soda for me. Never understood the appeal of it myself, at least not after I reached legal age.

bacardi 151 or( moonshine when my come back to new hampshire from a visit "back home")

if im gonna drink something i dont like the taste of .. i dont want to have to drink many

Don't go out much, but do like my MGD (Miller Genuine Draft). Will switch to cheap, boxed wine just to do something different once in a while. Every so often a sipping shot of Gentleman Jack is great.

Hey Knowlton's Rangers! This is way off topic, but I sent you a FR because I, YaddaYadda, am a direct descendent of Thomas Knowlton. Much coolness!

Water. Cold, filtered, water.

Don't get me wrong, I love a good Black and Tan, Raki, or White Russian (or two, or three, or four).

But, there is still nothing better than water ;-)

There's no need to apologize to those foo-foo, brandy and wine drinkers. What are they gonna do, poo-poo at your gaffe? "Oh look, my booze is made of fruit." Wimps.

Scotch, technically, is whiskey. It's just really good whiskey, and is also my best friend.

True. There are a few, good, Irish whiskeys, though. Just none of that Canadian and American crap. All garbage--all. Ick horf horf spit puke gag. It's like... why not just pour a bottle of rubbing alcohol over a bowl of sugar cubes and serve it up as "USA's own Whiskey, made in the center aisle of Walmart!"

I mean, we are a nation of people that put human beings on the friggin' moon. Is it so much to ask that we develop a halfway decent whiskey?

Nope. There is nothing made in the US as far as my drinks go that I really like. At least, nothing that I can think off the top of my mind.

lissa ?

have you ever had old school middle of the tennesee woods made moon shine ?

dont taste like chit like the stuff in stores

Whiskey (or whisky) is any any spirit distilled from cereal grains and aged in oak casks. For Scotch and Irish whiskies, the prevalent grain is barley. For Bourbon, it is rye. For any other whiskey, it's corn. I've yet to hear of any whisky made from a predominantly wheat mash, though.

While I like a cold beer or a gin and tonic on a hot summer day, I am primarily a whisky drinker. Scotch and Bourbon being my choices. Johnny Walker Gold or Blue for blended Scotch, Laphroaig or Glenmorangie for single malts, and Old Grand Dad or Knob Creek for Bourbon. Neat, of course.

I've never really liked the Glenmorangie. It has a bite that bugs me. I prefer Glenlivet or McClelland. Much smoother. McClelland has zest, but not that ick part in Glenmorangie that I've never figured out what it is.

Whichever floats yer boat, Zom. I like the "smoky" flavor of Glenmorangie. The Laphroig is almost salty, as it is made on the Isle of Skye, rather than the mainland. Its said that the peat on Skye has a lot of kelp in it, which may account for the unique flavor.

Confused, I learned moonshinin' from my great-uncle in Tennessee. He cooked corn likker (the "bread and butter") and rye whisky (the "private stock") in the woods back of his farm. Unlike many moonshiners, he used natural or LP gas as his heatsource. He said that cooking 'shine or any other such was a matter of perfect temperature control. I learned the how and why of this in high school: Too low, you get aldehydes among the alcohol. Too high, you get acetyl radicals. These toxins are guaranteed to pop your skull most painfully later on, maybe even before the night is over.

Uncle proofed his product at about 60% alcohol by volume, 120 proof, using water from an artesian spring filtered thru white mason's sand. The corn was jugged upon proofing, but the rye was laid up in a couple of small casks made of white oak for no less than three years. MMMmm, good! There's a fella here along the SC tidewater cooks some good corn. His runs about 150 proof or so, but it's made proper. None o' that nasty bite or oiliness to it. I get a quart (mason jar) from him every couple of months. He also, for the holidays, jars some of his recipe with quartered apples or pears. Oh my, when the whiskey gets low, just fork out a chunk ot that fruit and let it melt in your mouth, Oh Yeah!

Dewer's, smooth:0 On rare occasions.

Hek sweetie, If blended Scotch is your thing (especially on rare occasions), let me recommend the Johnny Walker Gold Label. It's an all-malt blend aged 18 years. Most blends use other grain whiskies along with the barley-malt, supposedly for smoothness but really just to make the malt go farther. An all-malt blend such as the JW Gold is incredibly smooth and tasty. Not too costly, either. So make the most of the "rare occasions". Cheers!

decurion :)

i didnt know a whole lot about how its was made , but your great-uncle's recipe sounds damn good :)

none of that nastyness or oilness

can you verify something for my (uninformed) friends?

does real moonshine have much of a flavor? (have this argument everytime moonshine comes up)

I've had some backwoods Florida 'shine that had a slight flavor of honeyed corn. It is still the smoothest booze I've ever tasted.

smooth isnt even the word for it :)

its also the only alcohol i had that i can get hammered on with out a hangover / headache from

Confused???

lissa ?

have you ever had old school middle of the tennesee woods made moon shine ?

No, I've never had that type of moonshine. LOL The closest that I have had was made in biology class, and let's just say it didn't turn out quite right, but we were sneaking our drinks anyway. (Well, if you have a bunch of freshman high schoolers make moonshine, it is going to happen...)

I may just have to run a bit north and find someone to nab some from.

hmm

moonshine made in biology class by teenagers , you were brave to even try it :)

finding it is getting harder and harder (atleast in new hampshire)

i was told that most moonshiners have found out there is more money in marijuana and started growing instead

Oh yes. Every one of us in that class tried it. I know some of our faces had to be comical, mine included. But, the teacher had been called out of the room, and the person that was supposed to keep an eye out for us was in the hall.

Although, it was the coolest experiment that we did in that class all year.

I live in the South, so...

gee and people are saying kids dont learn anything in school

lol good story

Confused, properly made "white lightning" won't have any discernable flavor other than from the water it's made with.

thank you very much :)

Decurion - waaaaaaay down here, I have tried JW Gold Label, but it's still rather strong "tasting" going down, smooth yes, I agree. Dewer is just not as hard to get past the first sip....then I'm okay....however, if I wanna be a big girl, I can turn around, hold my nose, go for the fist sip, turn back around and seem perfectly okay (cept everyone else in the room is snickering at me) lol - it is fun though. I drink whatever they have available truly, not many places around here even stock it:( bummers huh?

Lissa Rose,

Your freshman class 'experiment' sounds like it would make an interesting article for Newsvine.

Tell us more.

Alright, Hek. I understand that everyones taste is a bit different, I guess I've got enough Gael in me to jones for the barley and the peat.

I will have to consider that, Snot Rag. It was really fun.

Confused??? I know. LOL I learned a lot, but I took a lot of AP courses. I had a lot of fun in that class though. It was our teacher's last year, so he kind of had the attitude "What are they gonna do, fire me?" about a lot of his lessons. We did do some experiments that were way off topic, but almost all of them made sense in the class. He was also able to select his students and slot them into each class well because his wife taught at the junior high and knew all the students coming up.

i think more teachers need that additude , i had a shop teacher for his last year and that was the funnest class i ever had , showed us the safety issues and left us alone to build what we wanted and if we needed anything we had to go wake him up. (only teacher i ever had that bummed a cigerette off me )

I guessed that would be the advantage of being at the end of a career. ;)

I enjoyed his class too. He didn't usually leave us alone in the lab. (Our labs were in our classrooms.) I don't think he would have stopped us from trying it though. I think he might even would have given us the cups.

lol

now a real test would be would he try it?

Nope, he sure didn't. At least... we never saw him try it. ;)

It's funny how circumstance can affect taste;-) Kinda like how gross draft beer doesnt seem to taste as bad at a ballgame or concert.

All this alcohol talk reminds of the good ol' days of

Sex on the beach

Pink panty pull downs

blowjobs

dirty @!$%#- (a bloody mary served with a straw and a string --it looked like a tampon!)

a juicy P**sy--(this one was served on a carnival cruise)

Who comes up with these crazy names and who actually drinks them on a regular basis? LOL

Yum! I like most of those. I think

I like Blowjobs and Pink Panties. ;)

Me Too although we are probably not talking about the same thing.....

Dammit!... Mike got there first.

Tee hee. That's good Freedom. My sister and I both like to look up a bunch of different drinks and mix them at my house when we feel like drinking. Plus, we have a lot of friends that like to drink. We have a good site saved on my home computer.

Three measures of Gordon's [an English gin - Lissa], one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. [this is NOT vermouth!] Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.

Now that's a drink...

Yum! LOL :X
