Cocktail Hour

[KJ Norrbotten]

A pale ale of pretty much any kind. Also, just recently I found out that a wheat beer can be quite good as well, although there are a lot of not so good wheat beers around.

I like a rum and coke, too. I also like Lemon Drops (don't know what's in them, sorry. And only if the bartender uses ice that has been put through a blender!) Not much of a drinker, so can't list alot of drinks for you. Shots of Yager or Fireball always work for me, too!

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!!!!

Ok, I've got one...and its my 'usual' though even bar staff tend to go "errr...really"...Midori and Milk with a ton of ice. Not an actual tonne...thats silliness and a huge glass...honestly, who has hands that big? Midori...in a healthy amount and milk to the top. Tall glass...filled with ice first. Mmmmmm try one and raise it to me. Its damn good.

Tonight I am enjoying a glass of Baileys on the rocks. Yum

Bailey's Irish Cream - the good stuff (not the cheaper imitation brands) is good with a cup of coffee as well. If you want to make an Irish Coffee then it's Jamieson's Irish whiskey in fresh hot coffee in a special glass mug, rimmed with sugar. A dollop of thick whipped cream on top, a maraschino cherry and perhaps a wee sprinkle of cinnamon sugar to top it off!


This picture is missing the cherry on top! (maybe that is just a Canadian thing?)

Vodka Gimlet

• 2 oz Vodka
• ¾ oz Lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tsp Simple Syrup

Combine ingredients in a shaker ¾ full of ice. Shake to the beat of the Charleston while thinking of a flapper in a short skirt (but not your grandmother). Strain into a pre-chilled cocktail glass, garnish with a lime wheel, and settle down to enjoy one of life’s tarter pleasures.

Nothing fancy here for the most part. Just fill a glass one third with ice, cover with whiskey (usually some Canadian) and fill the rest with 7 up. Otherwise I may put three ice cubes in a tumbler and cover with a good single malt scotch. And on weekends I like to cook fancy and will have a bottle of white or red wine to go with dinner. I like to brew my own wine. (I only drink on days that end in Y.) Thanks for starting this thread Danie.

Heavens to Betsy!!!! Absolutely not my Grand Mother!!! Now I have to smooth my hair back down. Maybe while sipping a Vodka Gimlet.

Oh, and vodka paralyzers. Used to drink those in the college days. Love those.

For a dessert drink or a palate cleanser, I like a small glass of champagne with a ball of sorbet in it....usually lime.

Hey I'm drinking the champagne of beers lol la-di-dah

 

[staropeace]

Lol. I am in Canada....beer is mother's milk here.

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

Miller High Life?

Lol. I am in Canada....beer is mother's milk here.

 

[staropeace]

Lol. It is usually Labatt's Blue for me.

Miller High Life?

Oh yeah, not fancy but affordable. I can't afford more expensive beers usually, for a splurge I might go for a Stella Artois or something similar.

I've tried it once and wasn't too fond of it. Perhaps I should give it another try, but I don't think I'll have high expectations...

My dad used to drink that all the time. Eventually he switched to Natural Light 'cause it's cheaper. Now he just drinks Coors Lite, aka water.

Water like Miller Lite but if you will be drinking for an extended period of time it makes sense, I mean if I am out watching a game, I would rather stick with something that won 't make me forget who won !

Good ol black label Jack Daniels and Coke for me. If I have some extra cash, Single Barrel Jack. Kessler if I'm broke.

I love Crown Royal, Yukon Jack, and Maker's Mark too. Beer is good but I love my whiskey.
