What Did You Drink Last Night?

[rue]

That's easy to fix- if the soda is too sweet, blend in some plain cold water or a little club soda, that will thin out the syrup portion of the soda.

I never thought of that John.... thank you, I think I will

 

[John in Covina]

If I am drinking regular or diet sodas I usually mix in some cold water to make it less sweet and and lower the fizz level a bit. Same with many fruit juices, straight is too sweet.

I add seltzer to a lot of juices, and generally add some lime juice too. I can't imagine adding regular water to soda. That, to me, is ruining it, it is like when the ice melts. I might try adding seltzer though. If anything, most sodas are not fizzy enough.

Sloe Gin, now you're talking! I only have around half a bottle left, of my homemade, 2008 vintage....mmm!

Grappa, anyone?

Sure, heck, I'll try almost anything once. :cheers1:

It's a fairly long list, and it was quite an early start........!

Moet.
Large Tanqueray Ten & tonic.
Another, large Tanqueray Ten & tonic.
"Goodness Gracious" (Plymouth Gin, Aperol, Grand Marnier, grapefruit juice, fresh apple)
"Candy Martini" (Tanqueray Ten, Dry Vermouth, flamed sugar cube)
"Bramble" (Plymouth Gin, Creme de Mure, lemon juice, sugar syrup)
"Dry Martini" (Berry's No. 3 gin - from the freezer, splash of dry vermouth, lemon rind juice)

......and then the memory starts to go, a bit!

Bruichladdich scotch. I will bet that about 5 people can actually say it correctly just looking at it.

You are still wrong. You should be able to get this MENSA.

James,

The pronunciation is irrelevant after half a dozen or so, and I find that "I'll have another", generally works!

p.s. Brook-Laddie...

Damn... I thought I had that one Danny O. There goes my MENSA membership

 

[Danny Ocean]

Rue,

I think you'll find that membership of CAMRA, would be far more beneficial, than MENSA.
