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

Negroni (if you can call it that, didn't have an orange) whilst saying goodbye to the patio…

[Jett129]

Goodbye because it’s too cold or you’re moving?

[Seul]

Both.

Those who know me won’t be surprised to hear I tend to play by the rules. When the rules say I should have exactly two of these before dinner, I do what I’m told. I’m not admitting anything but the angle might reflect that this is #2  :).

I love a good Negroni. This is going back to 2019 but was probably one of the more interesting ones I’ve had…

So do I, and I have to say this looks seriously cool. did you by chance find out which gin and vermouth went into this intricate device?

Weird–I like it!

I've been wanting to try a mezcal negroni but I love it so much neat I almost feel sacrilegious mixing it. But it makes hella sense so I will try it one day.

Mezcal Negronis are a’ight, but if I’m mixing mezcal it’s into a margarita. Vast improvement on the original, IMO.

You can also make a marg with tequila and then do a mezcal float.

But, why waste the carbs and strain my liver if I love the stuff neat? That is part of my struggle to expand my horizons as well.

[sabergirl]

I feel ya. I drink very few cocktails. Prefer it neat, myself.

Honestly I probably did but 2 years of covid stress drinking has wiped it from my memory [emoji23]

No worries, happens to the best

Rey Campero Jabalí is excellent, but La Venenosa Sierra del Tigre raicilla is one of the weirdest, most interesting spirits I’ve ever had. So cheesy and lactic on the nose. What a wild ride! Truly one of my favorite potations of all time.

This brand hasn’t missed yet. This one has some wet cement, grass, and dirt going on. Fantastic! This cactus takes 25-35 years to mature so it develops some complex sugars that yield wonderful flavor.

Negroni variation with a different bitters:

Bad planning means no ice cubes in the right size. Needs must…

[Tago Mago]

Trying something new

I just completed the Blantons set this year and was planning to send them into Buffalo Trace.  They will mount them on a stave and send them back free of charge.  Kinda cool I guess

[Jett129]

The only thing more impressive is actually being able to get the Bourbon. Pretty elusive where I’m at,except at exorbitant prices. I have a bottle of Straight from the Barrel Blantons,that I take out for special occasions.
