when I was running the after hours, we came across a pallet worth of guava nectar. mixed with gin and... holy shit, yeah!
Give him a break, he's sick. But gin is woman's drink. A strong woman, sure. Maybe. I'm not sure. I just drink bourbon.
Nope. 42% ABV. Jaffa Cakes are a brand of biscuit-sized sponge bases with an orange jelly filling and coated in chocolate. The gin manages to get the chocolate flavour as well as the orange - I'd expected it to just taste like all the blood/Seville orange-infused gins out there but it's much nicer.
I am not fully understanding this particular prick waving dick fight, and I never have so perhaps someone can explain it to me. First, is it supposed to be harsh or smooth? Because smooth is easy to swallow, but slamming powerful alcohol without the awful faces is a sign of strength. If it is about smoothness I can drink some green tea all day long and beat you all. The tastiest drinks I have had do not need alcohol. If it is the harshness and how fucked up you are getting I can down 2 nyquil bottles without vomiting or making a face, and then deal with the the plat 4 and then some which makes alcohol look like kiddie highs. So I do not get what you all are actually trying to say is good, better, or strong because it seems you are arguing different things. I drink straight vinegar by the cup. I have done all sorts of alcohol, but alcohol is a shit drug. It is sloppy and sloshy. It makes you stupid. It's highs are distorted and suck ass. If all you know is some good whiskey, burbon, or whatever flavor of alcohol there is, you have missed a vast realm of awesome flavors, feelings, and destinations and all you are doing is sloshing poison. Tobacco is better than booze IMO. Sorry, but the drug snob in me just gets triggered when people start talking about how great their alcohol of choice is. Weed snobs are better versed in highs. I don't care how good your alcohol of choice tastes, it is still just the same old lame ass sloppy fucking poison. Step up to a better class of drugs.
it gets even better, as this was technically a whiskey snob thing where I was dismissing an entire category. Mostly for the sweetness... (Ironic, as my bartending rep was for the ability to whip off some wicked cocktails-try a dash of creme de cacao next time you mix a black russian, or if you really wanna get WGW, try equal parts Fireball, JD, and whatever apple whiskey suits your fancy-I called it "apple jack crack"). I'm a relatively social drinker though, and rarely get drunk assed drunk. you're probably right about cannabis connoisseurs... those are the smokers who have a shelf for all of their "glass" and a grow tent in the closet, in my experience.
I used to hang with some weed snobs and they knew what the different strains were, and what they interracted with. They had their favorite to play MTG (That is Magic the gathering and not marge the gross) and their favorite to listen to different types of music to. They had a weed for talking and a weed for watching anime. I will admit I could actually feel the nuance. I normally don't get excited about pot unless I find a dealer who knows. That apple jack crack sounds like I might need to try it. I like the taste of some drinks, but alcohol as a drug is best as a very small drizzle to the mix. It can really overpower some of the fine flows of CBDs and extacy mixes. Many people are garish with their drugs. I can maintain and alter hours of time with the proper chemicals. It depends on what you are doing too. Are you at a rave, or are you at a classic rock/greatful dead/floyd festival. It matters what you are going to take and where you want to go. When you get to that point alcohol should only be used to stretch the high, but I prefer dyphenhydramine over actual alcohol use and keeping yourself hydrated with a good tasty fluid you enjoy.
Back when my kids were in daycare there was Jamaican place between the train station and daycare. I’d stop for HH before picking them up. Got to be friendly with the owner and staff. They’d make an off menu ‘Ting Wray’ which I’m sure I don’t have to explain. Two of those bad boys and I good for the next three hours of parenting!
I can't do bourbon unless it's in a cocktail and it's from a higher-end distillery (no Jim Beam ). Preferably with a lot of lemon. New York Sours are a frequent order at good bars.
Folks, let's not debate about alcohol. I think we can all agree that booze is a good thing. Except vodka and tequila, which are the spawn of satan and should never be drank.
JD? Might as well drink your own piss. I don't care if you're mixing it with something or not, it's piss. So many better whiskeys and bourbons out there, even in the same price range. (And I'm sorry, but unless you guys are bogarting the good stuff, ain't a Canadian whisky worth shit.)
agreed about the JD... but people buy the name. I mean god, have you ever tried Sailor Jerry rum? fucking cough syrup that your great grandparents would've puked up. Still the hipsters suck it up once you add enough sugary shit. I've been liking Red Breast for something to sip. Single pot from Ireland, pretty smooth. Not sure I'd agree about our whiskeys though. I mean... Crown Royal, for starters. (even comes with a scrabble bag) Maybe your American pallet is just used to processed corn and malt so can't appreciate the variety of flavours?
Can we all at least agree that Orange Whiskey is a fucking crime against humanity? Orange Gin, yes - I'll guzzle that shit like it was Scarlett Johannson's nether nectar. Orange Vodka - well, you can only improve vodka by detracting from the fact that it's fucking vodka. Whiskey? That flavour does NOT play well with others, least of all orange.
