And here I thought I'd get critiqued by the single-malt guys...JW black label for me, please!
These photos got me thinking...is Bourbon versus Scotch the liquid equivalent to 9mm versus 45?
Nope, not from me (as one of those single-malt guys, ) I respect blends and those who choose them. However, if someone tries to mix an Aberlour 16 Year Old with a diet Coke, well then, @sobo and I might have a word with them.And here I thought I'd get critiqued by the single-malt guys...

Or 1911 vs. SIG P-220?These photos got me thinking...is Bourbon versus Scotch the liquid equivalent to 9mm versus 45?
Come from a family of Scotch/single malt aficionados. A noble beverage when one is hosting honored guests and family.However, if someone tries to mix an Aberlour 16 Year Old with a diet Coke, well then, @sobo and I might have a word with them.
I would also totally support a wife dedicated to that level of fitness, that's awesome. Respect! One of my daughters has trained for and run marathons in the past, I've seen what it takes.I'm the coach, support network and cheering section for the wife, who turned in a Personal Best 4:16 this year
IF, I drink hard liquor, G&T is what I drink. House gin is fine. And if I choose to take gin straight it's..Some folks might think this a bit primitive.

But there is a method to all this. I was in Mexico recently. I like bringing back airplane bottles when I can find them at a reasonable price. Well, these were a dollar apiece. I asked the Senora for ten of them. She said they were closing them out, so I could have 30 of 'em for ten bucks. You betcha. Give me thirty of 'em!
The Daktari says I should distance myself from sugar. Enter this fine sugar free tonic water. And my research told me gin is one of the healthiest of the sinful beverages, just behind wine.
So here I go, a healthy gin and tonic that could be served in a dispensary.

My wife loves Mojitos, that's almost all she drinks. Yes, we have killed of more than one bottle of rum in an evening. I favor Martinis, though (my pic from the grill thread). And at the recommendation of one of the forum members from a ways back, I did try the Aviation gin, it is worthy and is now on my package store shopping list.
A buddy of mine from Portlandia clued me in to Aviation a couple-three years back. I always keep a bottle of it at Maison Sobo. And a back-up, too...
Damn straight we will, W²! We'll help him come to his senses real quick...However, if someone tries to mix an Aberlour 16 Year Old with a diet Coke, well then, @sobo and I might have a word with them.
A Gibson/rocks for me. Three onions please! The reference you hear used in the past "Three Martini Lunch"? Not often, but I'd had days where I wanted to adjust the day quickly after work, two Gibson's would do it very well. I don't how guys could go back to the office and work after three of them?My wife loves Mojitos, that's almost all she drinks. Yes, we have killed of more than one bottle of rum in an evening.

We LOVE Mojitos, but in the more traditional manor, Lots of fresh mulled/pressed mint, and actual Sugar kane served in the glass, with a thin slice or two of Lime! We also prefer the Black Rum blends, they really add to the flavor, really takes it up a few notches!My wife loves Mojitos, that's almost all she drinks.

Don't know about the sugar cane, but a length of 3/4" dowel makes a fine mulling tool. So easy to do I wouldn't have considered making a Mojito ANY other way. Once you've had a few real ones, pouring bottled mojito mix in a glass with rum won't work.We LOVE Mojitos, but in the more traditional manor, Lots of fresh mulled/pressed mint, and actual Sugar kane served in the glass, with a thin slice or two of Lime!

Try this!
1 1/2 shot ( 1 to 2 Oz) Goslings Black Seal Spiced Rum, One Large Sugar Kane slightly longer then the glass is tall, 1 or 2 thin slices of lime, Soda Water, ( Can also use 1/2 Ginger Ale and Soda Water, if you prefer the white rum blends) and at least 6 large mint leaves crushed or use a small in glass blender to really break the mint up and bring out that flavor. You can play with the final result to fit your preferences, add lime juice, or sugar, or....... if desired!
ENJOY!
