What Did You Drink Last Night?

[jamespowers]

I pushed some blackberries through a strainer into a shaker. Then squeezed a quarter of a lemon and poured it with Jim Beam Black and Cointreau over the blackberries still in the strainer and pushed it all around into the shaker. Iced and shaken and into a cocktail glass with an orange rind and called it a BlackJack, because that's what The Cheesecake Factory calls it.
(Mine aren't as sweet)

I would cut the lemon juice by half if it was for me. Then again, I would have used a rye instead of the Jack too. Wait, I would have to substitute some Chambord for the blackberries too as I don't have any handy.
I am going to have to try that. It sounds pretty good. :cheers1:

Psssst, frozen blackberries work in a pinch.

Let me know what you think.

Aha! Someone is cheating.

I'll let you know.

More later on my Trader Vic's Mai Tai at Trader Vic's last night.

Obviously not yours
My other friend's birthday was yesterday and we went out.

I knew it wasn't mine as you didn't mention cigars, scotch, mai tais or microbrew beers.

Well that and the fact that I think Jason would have noticed me there

Regretfully?

Never regret anything you do.........only those that you don't!

That advice could get me into a lot of trouble

Half a bottle of Jack D´s and an unknown amount (read about 15) pints of good beer. Ah, the hangover!

 

[DeeDub]

Local brew: Anchor Steam

Same thing again today. If you're going to make a habit of something, make it a good one.

Hear Hear! Today is another drinking day here in Norway (I´m not an alcoholic, but tomorrow, may 17th, is our constitution day (like the 4th of july in the US) so the 16th of may is the "national drinking day" haha) , and I´m not going to say that "I´ll go easy on the alcohol" either, ´cause that would be a blatant lie!
