Favorite Alkie Drink

[Freak Out]

A good buy even at $80.

That'd be the day I spend $80 on something that will make me feel icky the next day! :P

You don't pound this stuff. You sit back in the evening and enjoy a glass. It really is good. If you were here I'd pour you a bit and you would see.

sex on the beach shot is good

Sex on the beach is good, especially after a few drinks.

No, I haven't, just been lucky, I guess.
Maybe I am a snob, there's just something about 'unscrewing' a bottle of wine..........
I'm really into the Russian River wines right now, that part of Sonoma has done great things lately.


With the weather the way it's been lately here on the East Coast.........cold....something like a hot toddy sounds real good.

Any chance you can show Bretsky how to use smooth techniques like this instead of lezzy refererences?

Straight Jack on the rocks. Or a decent Irish Whiskey on the rocks (Tullamore Dew, Bushmills, etc.)

Two excellent Irish Whiskeys! I like both of them better than the 3rd major player---Jameson's.

Straight booze on the rocks is the way to go.

Knob Creek is better than Jack's IMO, although look out---it's 100 proof.

Scotch is nice ... a true "Scotch snob" drinks it straight, with maybe a bit of water---not cold on the rocks. I am not such a snob. On the rocks is fine ... who wants a warm drink?

Glenlivet and Glenfiddich are the ones you can find at most any Pick'n Save, but some other good ones to try if you can find them are Highland Park, Oban, Lagavulin & Talisker.

And of course, the Brandy Old Fashioned & Brandy Manhattan are staples, with Korbel Brandy for best results.

As you might guess, with all this taste for liquor, I almost never get around to drinking beer!

Is that good brandy? That is what I use and its very inexpensive. It gets the job done.

Korbel? I like it. It's good mid-shelf stuff. Good enough for me.

As for wine, I always like a good Australian Shiraz.

For booze, Bacardi and Coke, 7 and 7.

For odd concoctions, there's one I tried that will hammer you after 2-3. The name may be different in other areas, but the bar I was at called it a Vulcan Mind Probe.

1 shot each of:
Vodka,
Rum,
Gin,
White Tequila,

A splash of Triple Sec, Lime Juice and 7-up.

Or a California Root Beer which has Coke, Galliano (italian liqueur that comes in a very tall skinny bottle), Vodka and Kahlua.

That looks good. Nothing like a classic Oktoberfest.

Why mess around with a screwdriver when you could be drinkin' an Alabama Slammer???

Alabama Slammer Recipe

Rating: 90 % (of 1298 votes)
Ingredients: 1.0 oz Amaretto
3.0 oz Orange juice
1.0 oz Sloe gin
1.0 oz Southern Comfort

Directions: Fill a mixing glass with crushed ice. Add sloe gin, Southern Comfort, amaretto, and orange juice. Shake and strain into shot glasses. Makes about 4 shots.

My favorite mixed drink is a similar one I found in a drink book years ago: The Sloe Comfortable Screw Against The Wall Take out the amaretto and put in a bit less Galliano (or a cheaper equivalent; Galliano is spendy). Growing up in Wisconsin, I like beer too, and we have some good brewpubs out here in Maine. I'm bigger on malty than hoppy, so I'm bigger on Bocks, Nut Brown Ales, etc. more than something more bitter like an India Pale Ale. It all depends on my mood--I can enjoy anything from an oatmeal stout or porter to a Miller Lite.

Leinie's has so many good varietals. I always liked their Red. Until this year, I couldn't get any of them out here in Maine but a number of stores carried their summer Weiss this year.
