Cocktail Hour

While out shoveling snow with the neighbors we would do shots of Drambuie to keep warm and feel less miserable. Although standing outside on a still winter night looking at the glow of Christmas lights through gently falling snow can be quite magical. Or maybe it was the booze

You should try Fireball, it'll warm you up all the way to the tips of your toes, trust me.

The lemon drops I've had have been shots: shot of vodka dip lemon slice in sugar & suck!

I LOVE Drunken Gummy Bears: Soak Gummy bears in any flavor vodka or rum(i like mango) for a couple of day in the fridge. So yummy!!!!

Oh, I forgot about the rim of the glass having sugar on it! Yums!

Corona and lime.

I would give you one of my beers, but...

He can't catch 'em, they're running around.

I started drinking dry red wines. My Dad liked wine. Then, during my years working in a Wisconsin shipyard, started drinking PBR after work like everybody else. I was a beer-drinker for years after that. Then started drinking red wines again. Then decided to try Scotch, drank that for a while, then switched to Irish Whiskey, which, on the rocks with diet Coke, is my current drink of choice. But I'll always be a red wine drinker.

Pahahaha Kung Pow is too funny. It appeals to my immature sense of humour!

For a fruity drink, I get Fresca and vodka and a little grenadine if you want. Slices of lemon and lime and a big juicy cheery.

Vodka and Fresca? Yikes - I drank that in CFS Alert back in 1992 but if you really wanted to party, go for the Sambuca shots
Your version sounds much nicer - at least you get some vitamin C and fresh fruit!

Back in the day. Vodka was the drink and after trying so many vodka mixes. Vodka became best straight. Do not touch alcohol today. Had a corona about 6 years ago.

"Datz’s Old Fashioned is built around Buffalo Trace bourbon, Fee Brothers cherry bitters and Luxardo cherries, and comes with a slice of candied bacon"

Bacon? Interesting garnish for a drink - this one is from Tampa Bay
Do you suppose Spidey drinks these? She's in Florida

Bacon? Yes, bacon goes with everything. I will get one of those next year for sure!

Are you kidding me?! This almost makes me want to try that beer (can I buy them in Canada?) (or more specifically - in Manitoba?)
Nate - I just went to their web site - man - I am going to move to Portland Oregon - they seem like my kind of people there

My guts just lurched. Uggggggh, you rang?

You could have this with some of those yummy chocolate 'digestives' on the side - yummy yummy

That is absolutely gross sounding. It may taste great though.

The bacon maple beer tasted smokey, the maple was there at first, but as it warmed up, the maple flavor faded. The smokiness was a little overpowering, and the bacon flavor was faint.
The chocolate, banana, and peanut butter beer was much better.

Maybe save the first beer for around the campfire then?

I think the bacon maple beer was only available last year. I wouldn't buy another anyway. It's about $12.99 a bottle. The chocolate, peanut butter, and banana beer was alright though. Not sure it was worth almost thirteen bucks...

I want a real beer....a Blackhorse beer from Newfoundland. I will get my wish when I go up to the Fort for Christmas. Fort Mac has a Blackhorse pub that serves the brand name beer lol.
