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

@Appfaff man I love Amaro & Campari. I grew up in the Italian neighborhood “The Hill” in St Louis but never drank them until recently. The Campari spritz is the perfect summer drink!
-
I agree!! I couldn’t stomach the stuff until recently - now I love it!

I call this the Montenegroni since it’s 3 ingredients and 1:1:1. I think it’s superior to the standard “white Negroni” which is Suze, Lilet, and gin.

Love me a Negroni - never heard of most of these ingredients - your stuff is NEXT LEVEL

Yeah I asked if they had anything like that at the bar last night and the bartender laughed in my face.

Ha well we all have our strengths.
Amaro is kinda like Tiki, there are bars that focus on it, but the rest don’t incorporate it much. Amari are difficult to work with since they’re all so different and there is no cultural touchstone to fall back on. What I mean by that is the daiquiri is how you drink hot, un-aged rum without coughing: lime and sugar, ice if you have it. However, amari are all drunk straight as an after dinner drink in Italy (or France to a lesser extent). Italians are perplexed as to why you might mix an amaro, as it is already a blend of ingredients macerated in alcohol and sweetened. Said simply, an amaro is something of a pre-bottled cocktail. That, and as I said earlier they are very different and one can’t be substituted for another. Montenegro is nothing like Ramazzotti is nothing like Fernet.
A straightforward one tonight. Hurricane (simple version): 1:1:2 lemon juice, passion fruit syrup, and black rum.

My wife and I have promised to hit a Chevy’s hard when we feel fully comfortable with going to an indoors place (and line up some weekend childcare). We know there is better food and better drinks available, but it’s a guilty pleasure.

Anyone looking for a subtly plated, sweet dark sherry finish whisky then check this out, delicious stuff.
Bowmore 18, PX sherry finish. Originally released as a travel exclusive but can be found on some online whisky sales websites.

@Seul I know the Brexit topic has been debated on this forum quite robustly and mainly in a negative light.
There is a small benefit to Brexit and this is duty free travel prices for us Brits flying abroad, they are now much better and much closer to the "duty free" name tag these bottles carry.
That Bowmore should sell for £94.40 and is in the airport at £56.59, a 40% saving.

Getting drunk has been a national pastime / obsession of all the U.K. constituent nations. English, Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish are not frightened of a drink or several.
Maybe a big U.K. wide party with government subsidised drink is what's required to keep this fractured union together?
Oooopppss, I have dipped my toe in murky political waters and mentioned both Brexit and various Independence bids in a single forum post. Time to back away from the keyboard and open some Friday beer, yay!

@tvenuto take a few days to think about it and recommend me a cocktail that will go well with the Monte Cristo cigars I ordered from Switzerland that you can't buy in the USA, please.
If I can find what you have on offer I will collect the ingredients and make it. They should be here in a week to thirty days. If they clear customs.
