Old fashioned, but not the way those weirdos in Wisconsin and Minnesota make it with brandy. Bizarre.Can't we have one thread wo personal insults, lies and outright wrong headed takes?
Bwar, single malt highland (neat), and blended scotch/whiskey/bourbon on the rocks are go-tos for me as well, though there are a handful of blended whiskys that don't need the rocks.
Can't we have one thread wo personal insults, lies and outright wrong headed takes?No, because your an idiot, and I'm always right.
Old fashioned, but not the way those weirdos in Wisconsin and Minnesota make it with brandy. Bizarre.Ahhh, such a weirdly acquired taste. I drank more than a few in college because The Old Fashioned is a great bar, and when in Rome.

What's the worst mixed drink that you can get?The bar I can think of offhand is gin and cranberry juice. I'm sure there's something lower I'm not thinking of, but that popped to mind quickly.
/Has to be something that you can order at a bar and that they'd be willing to serve, so no hazardous chemicals or toilet water or anything like that.
What's the worst mixed drink that you can get?anything mixed with coke

What's the worst mixed drink that you can get?There are so very many choices.

That sweetness chart for wine is idiotic.Tell us more. For example, I don't find chianti dry at all - at least the ones I like.
and they still have Supper Clubs!... that make and serve brandy old fashions...
Wait, I just read back through-- there's a bar that makes an old fashioned with brandy? That ain't right.Oh. Wait til you learn they’re topped off with Sprite.

Wait, I just read back through-- there's a bar that makes an old fashioned with brandy? That ain't right.Around here, when ordering an old fashioned, one gets a brandy old fashioned by default. One must specify whiskey.

I'm not saying it's right, but that's how it is.
I figure with that much flavoring added, I probably could tell the difference anyway, especially after 12...

I mostly enjoy whatever straight up, maybe with an ice cube. I am competent at mixing gin and tonic however. I get frisky at times and add some lime when I'm feeling celebratory. These complex "cocktails" look like some a PhD chemist would contrive in his spare time, to me. I see them as a way to hide the fact someone is using, um, less potable alcohol. Of course, I only recognize two basic kind of distilled alcohol, aged, and white.right in your wheelhouse
I still really do not understand azeotropes, and I've tried.

But otherwise, it's just things I can sip neat, unless I'm at a tailgate, doing shots.

🍺 Couldn't find a Beer Thread - picked up a sixer of Fireside Chat a 7.9 abv Winter Ale with spices and cocoa nibs from 21st Amendment Brewery somewhere in CALI. It's a melodic jacked fermentation. The with degrees of aromas that include notes of baking spices,roasted cocoa and smoke...... no,not really ;D it's pretty darn good though.I know someone mentioned Garage Beer a month back so i picked some of that up. Supposedly a craft but tastes like Ultra Light Beer Seltzer. :(Beer Thread is on the B12 Backporch, where it's always been.
We need one here
The OF's I've had are too sweet, for me. But I like bourbon straight anyway.On the rocks,I have some Eagle Rare,Weller Reserve and some Reverend Jim. Prolly good until 2025 somtime
I am trying to drop anything hard and stay with wine.I need to do that. My liver hates me.
Yup, it's the same limit at NCL. But the cost of the package is way more than we drink, so we don't do it. I use the cruise to cut down on my drinking anyway.I pay $15/day on Azamara and drink as much as I want. They serve from 9AM until 2 AM at the pool bar. I don't start until 3PM or so.
My wife likes them in part because she doesn't have to cook or clean or anything, just unpack once, and repack at the end. She does do a bit of light laundry in the sink, but we get one back of laundry "free".
