What are you drinking tonight?

I was originally going to point that out in my post, but I figured some watchful NWFA eye would catch that. Glad to see this vigilant crew didn't disappoint...

Chronology is a timely topic.

Chronology is a timely topic.

Right on schedule...

Been a coupla weeks since I've seen this thread bump up to the top, and figured it needed a resurrection...

Tonight will be a hefty helping of sobo's world-famous Planet Killer Mai Tai, since I haven't made one in a coon's age (about a year ago! )...

Public service announcement for those who enjoy an occasional dram of uisge-beatha, aqua vitae, the water of life, aka Scotch Whisky. 200 years ago today, from my best research, Scotland officially made the bevy legal with the Excise Tax law passage. Sure, it was common well before this, but it still may be a day to celebrate for some.

Decided to pair tonight's ribeye steak with a few OFs tonight. Haven't had a few of these in a while...

 

[Mono1]

For the OF. One Jigger or?

Recipe?

For the OF. One Jigger or?

Recipe?

1. In an Old Fashioned glass, combine ½ oz of simple syrup, half-dozen (or so) shakes of Angostura bitters, a squeeze of juice from a fresh orange, and just the wee-est dash of grenadine
2. Muddle all together to mix well
3. Pack glass with crushed ice, add 2 oz Wild Turkey 101 Rye whiskey (you can use regular bourbon whiskey, but I like the taste that a rye gives this drink)
4. Add a splash (½ to 1 oz) of seltzer water (or more, if nearly-straight whiskey is a bit too much for you or your guests), and stir with muddler to mix
5. Garnish with half an orange slice and a stemmed maraschino cherry
6. Top up with crushed ice to bring the drink to the rim of the glass
7. Enjoi...

Lagavulin 11, Nick Offerman edition. It's Sunday night and a pleasant dram for the evening.

Slàinte Mhath all

When it comes to brown liquors, I like Jameson, Bushmills and Johnny Black now and then. Curious, I accepted a shot of this pricey stuff. Now I know. It's smokier than I prefer, and at $200 a fifth, I'm kinda glad I don't love it.

Firing up the Whiskey Sour machine right now.

Going for some Weller single barrel this evening. It's tasty.

maybe a milk stout - oncall so pretty minimal

Two stiff fingers of good bourbon and an H. Uppman. Intestinal fortitude and skill at arms…

Good to know. I'm smoke and peat type of person, nearly always single malts, but may have to try a dram sometime. The smoke is definitely not for all or even most. Nothing for me for a while, recovering from a procedure yesterday as well as on some meds.

OFs tonight, to go with my dinner guest, Mary's little lamb...

Got a very healthy splash of Crown Royal in my coffee.

As I post this pic taken 2 nights ago, I'm enjoying my first Jubelale of the season. Love 'em both.
