So I drank all my booze, partly because I'm anal retentive so when I'm almost out of something I like to be totally out before getting more. I also thought it would make me drink less if I couldn't have my delicious whisky manhattans. But it mostly just made me drink everything else and then get cranky. So last night I hit the liquor store and bought everything. Except I couldn't remember if I had any sweet vermouth. Because I already have an extra bottle of bitters I chanced it that I did and of course I didn't. So my Manhattan last night had dry instead of sweet vermouth. I'd heard good things about that, so I held out high hopes. But the person saying them was a faggot and a dirty liar and if I ever see them again I shall kick them in the balls like a mule and then spit on them while they roll on the ground in pain. Anyway, because the Manhattan was unsatisfying, I realized I could do up a gin & tonic--which I haven't had for years. Only I didn't get very far before realizing I was very drunk and very tired. But because I'm a cheap fuck, I threw the fucker in the freezer for later. Well, you know how when you freeze alcohol it doesn't freeze? It just gets marginally more viscous? Oily, almost. A gin & tonic has enough water in it to allow it to freeze. But not totally. It has the consistency of a snowball. So tonight I finished off a proper manhattan with sweet vermouth and was all set to have a beer when I remembered the gin & tonic slushie. I added a couple drops of lime juice and then topped the glass off with orange juice and started eating it with a spoon. A brain freeze is one thing. A gin-amplified brain freeze is a different animal all together. Now it has thawed enough that I can drink it and I started this thread because I know that in a few minutes I will be far too droonk to. As it stands, you don't want to know how much retyping this post required. Heretoforfortwith I shall stop editing my typos, irregardless of their eggregiousness.
As much as I can not stand Gin, it tastes like acetone smells, I am intrigued by your concoction. Perhaps I will give it a try some day.
I would imagine you could make it eith bocka and soda. I drank a tlooil shit. My hav to go back and edit shit. This is illegible. You could make it with vodka and soda. I drank a little before I stuck it in the freezer, so I had an inch or two of space for a splurt of lime juice and then topping the glass off with OJ. Then I mixed it up a bit with the end of a spoon. It was still too solid to drink at first, so I spooned it up until it thawed enough to drink. It was fairly yummy.
A 40 of Old English? Then you know the importance of a cold one in this arid climate and temperatures that rival with that of Hell.
