Hard Drinkers, Lets Drink Hard (Spirits, Liquors and Cocktails)

That's why god gave us coffee and amaretto (my favorite is Lazzaroni)

Can I please come to your house and root around in the liquor cabinet?

@Filthy:

@Filthy I have been craving this since you posted it around Christmas!  If the Canada/US border ever opens up again, I may make a trip and pick up a bottle.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I had to special order it from the liquor store… but if you want to take a risk I can get you a bottle and mail it to you. I can remove the labels and or sew it inside a cheap stuffed animal or some foam rubber or something... and box it up.

[goosehd]

Brother, I love you!!!  Our border is insanely efficient at finding that kind of stuff.  It would probably never work.

My parents live close by (WV) and I need to make a trip home.  Are you closer to Pittsburg or Philly?  If I can travel, I would love to have a beer and a slice with you (or maybe two  :D).

It will be awhile, as Canada doesn’t want to open our border.

@goosehd yeah those customs bastards shakes fist they tried making me pay tax on 5 cartons of smokes one time there at the airport. And I told them to keep them and the dude took 2 cartons for himself and handed me the other 3. It was one of those things from the duty free that looks like a giant pack of Marlboros.

I live in Pittsburgh. Like about an hour away from Wheeling  VW.

I remember the days when steel was king!  Days of WV coal being delivered daily to the mills.  Smokestacks everywhere.  Miss those days, and if they were still in operation, I would have probably never left home. 

Beautiful country @Filthy.  I really do miss it!

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

Yeah that's a bummer for sure.

You ever make it to Morgantown?  Fun spot!

Keep things on topic (Scotch - Laphroig)

Be my guest. I do liquor cabinets like some here do closets, so…I have enough to share. (Note the square dowel needed to keep the top shelf from collapsing)

We can do a reenactment of Leaving Las Vegas with all that booze…  ???

So at Xmas I downed a bottle of cheap silver tequila in a cask I never cured.

Today, I sampled it…

How it began: on right

Keeping it simple with the greatest widely available run that there is.

You’ll have to bring me a bottle next time you come to NYC.

[Megatron1505]

I will do dude, if I don’t get arrested for bringing Cuban contraband into the States

Navy grog. Because it be tiki season, matey.

[Filthy2123ozjunkie]

I'll have some in the pink sippie cup please

[tvenuto]

I'd have made you for more of a green dino sippie cup man myself, but hey, to each his own.

Kaiteur Swizzle (Smugglers Cove recipe)
1/2 oz maple syrup
1/2 oz falernum
3/4 oz lime
2 oz nice aged rum (should be drinkable on its own, I use el dorado 15)
2 dashes Angostura
Stir all with ice

If you don’t think you know how to mix drinks or have a picky guest in the summer this is the drink to make.  It’s dead simple, balanced and delicious. You can also pre-batch everything but the lime in advance, halve and juice a full lime into a glass filled with ice and top with the mix, and your guests will think you’re a sorcerer for producing this drink of such quality in 30 seconds.
