manaox2 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Chocolate soy milk. I'd never had it before. It's not very good. Dark chocolate almond milk is much tastier in my opinion, might give that a try. I'm drinking raspberry lemonade crystal light and taking a break from drinking alcoholic beverages to help me get over this cold, consuming scheduled to resume on the 27th.

luvdunhill Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I almost said that I bet the beer list could make it worthwhile given the psuedo cocktails made with beer, but I was in mood. Now correcting that mood with a scotch whisky cocktail: Golden Dog 1.5 oz Talisker (Lagavulin 18) .5 oz Benedictine .5 oz Lillet Blanc .5 oz R&W Apricot liqueur Shake (stir) well and serve in a chilled cocktail glass. Smoky, complex and quite nice. Claire took a sip and practically spat it out saying that it was like drinking Liquid Smoke. I disagree. I'm going to try that with the Compass Box. It's a very nice cocktail scotch, IMHO. I found out I like black IPAs... (I don't like IPAs, so this was news) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Looks nice, I hope you enjoyed it! Still without time to enjoy nice cocktails. I did enjoy it, but the Golden Dog is way more interesting. I should have noted that I used the Pappy 19yo instead of BT as the recipe specified. So sorry that your time is too tight for cocktails, and hope your ice and time woes end soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 For the first time in years, Mello Yello. My wife found it in one of the vending machines at her work and brought one home for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I had a mello yello on the drive home from pittsburgh monday. The first soda I'd had in months, because they didn't have a non-soda option at the rest stop roy rogers, except bad coffee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Guards Cocktail from the Jimmy Late of Ciro's 1930 bar book 1 oz Dry Gin (Blackwoods) 2 oz Italian vermouth (Punt y Mes) 2 dashes Curacao Stirred and strained over new ice even though it is probably meant to drunk up. Tasty with the bitter Punt y Mes. Kind of Negroni-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Turley Petit Syrah. Very jammy and just right for this cooler weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltron Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 San Martin Cocktail 3 parts dry gin (1.5+ oz Blackwoods finishing the bottle) 3 parts Italian vermouth (1.5 oz Punt y Mes) 1 part yellow Chartreuse (.5 oz) Stir and squeeze a lemon peel on top. Tasty, not dissimilar from the Guards, but more subtle and complex while less bitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltron Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) Working and drinking Camus. Could you fax me over something Al? Surprise me. Saw a martini-style cocktail called the Gloom Lifter, Shelly. Coming right up! Meanwhile, I just poured a little Pappy 19yo over an ice cube and I intend to drink it shortly.

The Monkey Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Coffee. These Keurig K-Cups are lousy--so weak. I'm not surprised that the coffee is mediocre, but the weakness is unacceptable. Does anyone know if they make a decent STRONG K-cup? I know they have those "extra bold" glavors, but I'm wondering if there's one that's actually good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I had some Eau de Cookie ...V? Is that what I'm up to? Anyway, it was made with Wolaver's, and it turned out pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grawk Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 They make gold foil refillable kcups, maybe adding more coffee? I'm deathly afraid of weak coffee, so i use absurd quantities of coffee when I brew it. Or use my aeropress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
