that's such a rebellious version @endo! i like it!

If I could only pick one;

2oz Appleton signature (or 12 year if you're feeling special)
.5oz Hamilton Creole Shrubb
1oz fresh lime juice
.5oz Liber & Co Orgeat
.25oz rich demerara syrup
1 drop 30% saline solution
2 dashes ango

wow, that's very elaborated. I need to get that Hamilton Creol Shrubb. no Liber & Co in Europe, have to take Monin instead, will try

Good luck!
Making orgeat isnt all too hard either if you want to do something special for the holidays. Anders Erickson has a pretty simple one though I've heard some folks have great luck using unsalted pure almond butter and diluting it with some sugar syrup and a splash of orange blossom water.

slanting this convo to this thread since i'm going on a tangent....

@endo said in Holiday Traditions:

a little yo-yo is fine @goosehd, and don't tell me about hangovers @WhiskeySandwich I'm an expert

May I ask you (and the others too), what is your treatment/prevention for these hangovers?

IMO it's rehydration, drink lots of water afterwards, and don't drink too much stuff with sugar when you party, try to sleep as much as you can, suffer the remaining

[WhiskeySandwich]

@endo YUP, thats about my only thing: hold the sugar and hydrate before and after.

A couple other (possible placebo) solutions: Mix a little cranberry juice with my water, and a nice greasy fried breakfast the morning after. Bourbon Cream in the coffee.

[goosehd]

...easy choice. I haven't been training all of these years to give up easily

Pretty sure I ,previously mentioned this ,but "420" is my lucky number when I have a hangover.

@Jett129 ...sage advice from a drummer in a rock/punk band!

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Jett129 if only… my current employment takes that off the table…. For now

@Jett129 did you crack that bottle of old stinky coat? AKA Old Overholt.

I like to explore bottom shelf whiskey. And I bought this last night. Surprising

[TinMan]

@goosehd what about some pain killers? Love a good rum cocktail!

[Jett129]

@TinMan I haven’t had the opportunity to purchase one yet.

@WhiskeySandwich found the McKenna 10 year, 59.99 at one of my local spots, Is that fair?

[TinMan]

@endo LOL! this is your brain on drugs: egg goes into frying pan! (Nancy Reagan)

[Jett129]

@TinMan That’s the best price I can get it for in the NY/NJ area as well.

[TinMan]

@Jett129 awesome thank you! I might get one.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@TinMan yeah I think that about the new msrp for it. I’m having some right now

[pechelman]

Clearly I was just waiting to get home from work today to make one of these. No mint today sadly .
