What Did You Drink Last Night?

[Bamaboots]

We always used Everclear. It was usually a mistake.

During the day, we had to cross the state line to buy everclear. So many times I wish I hadn't crossed that boundary.

This bottle of Balvenie Doublewood 12 will soon be one dead soldier. But there is another one where this one came from.

Many Bloody Marys

Their selection is limited but I know a place that serves the coldest beer in the coldest frosty mug I have ever found. So after a hot day I settled for 3 Bud Lights & some pizza for dinner last night.

Balvenie 15

I'm jealous! On a Monday night even. I have to save Balvenie 15 & other favorites at that price point for special occasions or at least the weekends! I need to come visit!

You are welcome anytime!
I had a night to myself, so I had a treat.

Summer has finally arrived in New England, and Tom Collins is my favorite friend in the hot weather.

 

[Bushman]

Sam Adams Summer Ale.

 

[Julian Shellhammer]

Mojito, while grilling the hamburgers.

Jura 10.
Been a spell since I have had this one.

 

[Julian Shellhammer]

While bbq'ing the steaks, a Rolling Rock. While watching Revenge of the Sith with youngest Shellhammer, a Manhattan with Old Forrester.

 

[Touchofevil]

More Bloody Marys. Grey Goose makes it too easy.

 

[O'Sully]

Boodles and Noilly Pratt
six to one with a twist of lemon
my favorite martini recipe

Currently, (after mowing the backyard because it made feel happier even though it has only been a few days since last mowed) downing a few Angry Orchards (which are resting in a bucket of ice up to the top of their necks) while enjoying some Jackpot (music) on the deck. Life is very good.

For the first time in 21 years, Jim Beam. There is a reason its been 21 years. [emoji14]

Earlier this wk at a little bar & grill my choices for Scotch to drink were blended only, & as long as you liked JW Black, Red or Cutty Sark you were in good shape there. The bartender dug around & found an unopened bottle of Cutty Sark Prohibition. So I tried it. It did have some peat smoke but otherwise I couldn't tell what might have gone into the blend. With no age statement & bottled at 50% ABV it was a bit rough & needed a cube or two to tame it down some. I haven't drank any Cutty since I was a kid.

Last night at a better establishment from my choices for an after dinner Scotch I chose a couple of drams of Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask. Thick & oily the finishing taste from the Caribbean rum was pleasant as an aperitif. I will probably enjoy it again sometime as an aperitif while dining out but I really like the Doublewood series in 12 & 15 at home.

There is a very good reason I have not had Cutty Sark in 30 years and I plan to keep it that way.
