What Did You Drink Last Night?

[Wally_Hood]

Beefeater martini, 3 to 1. No olive, takes up too much room.

 

[rkwilker]

Blantons/rocks.

 

[MisterCairo]

Ennis and Gunn's Special Edition Canadian whisky cask conditioned Scottish ale, in celebration of Canada Day 2009.

If you thought last night was Canada Day, you really have been drinking. lol

I had a Dry Vermoke. I've been working on the formula. Tribuno Dry and Coke Zero is pretty good; Martini & Rossi doesn't work because it's too dry.

Gonna try a Sweet Vermoke next.

 

[MisterCairo]

Yes, I see that - should clarify that the beer was brewed in celebration of Canada Day. I drank it in celebration of 8:30 last night!

 

[jamespowers]

Ward Eight with a bit more simple syrup this time.

 

[Ethan Bentley]

Sounds good. I'll have to try it since I have the ingredients. :cheers1:

In advance of tomorrow, when tonight will be last night:

Sweet Vermoke don't amount to much. So I made a manhattan — Jim Rye, rocks. Much better.

I drank my very first Mint Julep and had to archive this glorious moment

I know,,, I join the best vintage clothing forum you can find, and my only contributions have to do with food an drink.

Some of us look better after a few drinks, so I consider your drink recommendations to be fashion accessories.

One mint julep was the cause of it all!

A Rose:
Equal parts Kirsch and Dry Vermouth, drop or two of Grenadine- Shaken. This one I garnished with a halved bing cherry.

Looks superb, I think I need to find myself a julep glass/cup.

 

[Fletch]

Experimented with a Vodka gimlet.

Results?

They're not too hard to screw up, as long as there's at least as much hootch as lime juice, it's a bit sweet, and it's served cold. A room temperature gimlet tastes like medicine.

The classic is prechilled or strained. Rocks are ok, lack of a lime wedge is ok, too.

Ooh, that rose is so pretty.
I feel like a slacker, 'cos every time I peek in here my answer would have to be wine. That's not due to a lack of interest or delight in cocktails and such - I have a minimal bar set up, plus a couple lovely bottles of absinthe - but I don't drink alone, and the Mr. is funny about mixed drinks. So, most times, it's a bottle of red. Dull, I know.
Anyway, is it only fellas who post about drinks?

 

[Fletch]

Not anymore. No reason why it should be, either.

I sorta miss beaucaillou, the oenologiste, who frequently enlightened the Lounge on such matters. Altho her tastes ran to unmixed spirits and fine vintages, she wasn't above the occasional classic cocktail.

Too many gents are shy of mixed drinks, but unless everyone in the place is half tanked on rotgut and carrying a shootin' iron, they shouldn't be.
