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

[Jett129]

@ARNC By all means please chime in. I'm definitely on a Mezcal journey,of sorts,as of late,which has definitely been inspired/instigated by some fellow Forum Members. I got really hungover/sick,many years ago,playing a drinking game that involved chugging gin. Therefore I've never had a traditional Negroni,but the thought of a cocktail that uses Mezcal has me intrigued. Can't imagine I'll be able to find any of the Compari substitutes that you guys use,but I should be able to get some really good sweet vermouth,and I have some awesome Mezcal. Will report back in a few days.

@Tago Mago good choice! In my limited experience, Whitley Neill combines well in most situations.

@Jett129 I can relate to this, but I realised that the consequences were mainly down to me, not the gin :D. I got turned on to the possibilities at a blind tasting at the Plymouth Gin distillery a few years ago.

Both - I'll have to look out for Mezcal when I'm out and about.

Loved this one enough to go back for another…..

My favourite drink I have ever had is a Guinness Punch.

A bottle of Guinness Original XX.  Condensed/Evaporated Milk. 1/2 teaspoon of Nutmeg.

Whizz is up, and you got yourself the best tasting Alcoholic 'Chocolate' Milkshake haha

Hit up a spot in Southsea for the first time recently and had one of the best old fashioned's I've had in a while

by far and away superior to the shower of shite I paid £12 for in Dishoom in London. "Our artisan (the barmans words) take on a traditional old fashioned" I later found out it had 'bay leaf and green tea reduction' in

@AdamJ  It's been a while since I had a good old fashioned.  Thanks for giving me an idea on how to start the weekend.

Cheers

…and I would not be happy to have a bay leaf in one...

Is that IronHeart gin @endo

I am sticking to the bourbon lately, Voyage 23 is almost complete but Voyage 24 is ready to set sail….

@Anesthetist    That gin is distilled without any labeling or promotion, solely for the owner of a local wine shop. It's wonderful, soft and with some discreet citrus touch. You bring your own bottles and they fill them up.

That sounds amazing, I love little distillers like that

Making a B52 for Laura…

So far, so good.  Just need to add Grand Marnier.

…and messed up the layers.

a friend came along and we talked about … well, life I guess
he brought this wonderful smooth vodka, does anybody know it? I liked it.

Getting colder… Drinking coffee again... But always need to add a li'l sumptin... Four Roses bourbon's too harsh... Talisker 10yo is perfect but too expensive... So...

Going to the Makers Mark distillery on Thursday. Will get to dip my own bottles in the red wax. Looking forward to it.

@Jett129 Excited for your trip!!!  Enjoy and take a few pictures along the way.  I'm living vicariously through this adventure and don't have to suffer from the hangovers.

Looking for a new bottle of Islay Scotch.
Can anyone attest to the quality of Ardbeg Wee Beastie? Fan of the 10Y but heard mixed reviews on this 5Y…
