Name your favorite concoctions:
Rumchata and Rootbeer
Malibu Rum and Mr. Pibb
Champagne and Pama
-
To paraphrase one of my favorite Mad Men quotes — cocktails have three ingredients; Malibu and Mr. Pibb is an emergency.
-
this is really the best for me: no sugar, light, easy: Gin (bombay sapphire), Lemon Seltzer (aldi), lemon wedge, rocks.
also, Whistle Pig Rye, 2 ice cubes.
sometimes, Jameson, Gingerale, Lime.

I've been working the perfect Margarita every Friday and Saturday. At this point it's:
Fresh squeezed organic limes
Hornitos Black tequila (but I'm almost out, taking suggestions)
Triple Sec
Death Star ice cube
Salty rim
Top it off with a splash of Grand Marnier

I have maybe two margaritas a year but every time I do, I insist on Grand Marnier in it and it makes all the difference in the world. Not Cointreau -- Grand Marnier always.

When I'm not crushing cheap beer or haze bois, I'm probably drinking a Paloma (Squirt and Don Julio Blanco) or a simple whiskey and ginger.
-
I love, squirt. What's your, goto whiskey?

I admittedly am not a whiskey offciando, but if mixing with ginger, I typically pour 4:1 with bulleit.

sounds perfect. i challenge you and the missus to a margarita-off: you both make your best recipe, and i'll judge. and judge. and judge. then pass out. the end.

I would road trip, for that. I make, killer margaritas.

This is a good thread. We have Cocktail Friday every week. I need to figure out what we’re having tomorrow.
Couple of weeks ago we had this:
https://imbibemagazine.com/to-thursday-a-rum-punch-riff/
Basic ingredients and was very good.
-
Gin, ginger beer, ginger simple syrup, lemon juice, splash of soda water.
Bourbon, juice of 1/2 fresh orange, splash of ginger simple syrup, ginger beer, splash of soda water.
My "I'm not in quarantine, I'm on vacation drink" is:
Malibu and Myers rum, fresh lemon and lime juice, pineapple juice, a bit of small batch grenadine, and a splash of soda water.

this bearman, being a bear and a man, sure knows how to drink.

Liquor you might as well kill me
On the other hand am barely getting a buzz and am on my 5th 16oz tecate
I just want to remain a functional alcoholic

I jumped back into using the SodaStream so I'm Gin Rickey-ing it (heavy on the lime).
I'm trying to keep the carbs low and I like the fizz. Preferred brand is Tanqueray Rangpur infusion.
I tried making low carb simple syrup and flavoring the seltzer with lime essence, but the end result was a little to gin-ey for me.

I drink a shitload of canned sparkling water. is a soda stream worth it? is the taste ok? I worship canned sparkling water, for it got me off soda permanently, and was worried those machines would not be the same.

I really like having the machine, but considering that I'm a compulsive eater/drinker, I can't really quantify the savings. I will go through a case of soda/water/beer in a matter of days and then be too lazy to purchase more. Their gas canisters run $17 per "refill" canister. The most recent one lasted two and a half, maybe three weeks. There are forums online about hacking the machine to use standard gas canisters or to home re-fill existing cannisters. I have poor taste buds, but I like the flavor. I will say, my wife is very picky and she was impressed by the level of fizz in comparison to her go to, which is Perrier.
We recently got a new, more fashionable machine, which kicked off the new usage (along with working from home) and means we have an old machine not being used. I'd be more than will to pack it up, along with an older (technically expired, but still in use) bottle and if I can dig one up, a spent gas cannister (the cannisters cost more without one), and ship it out. It'll keep at bay my worst hoarder tendencies.
Blame it on the pandemic, or blame it on the Ritalin, but I'm feeling semi-motivated and full of good will (and Ritalin).

Even if they are only comparable, but not better, do it for the environment, walkie.
I used to drink a crap ton of beverages that came in plastic bottles and cans. Now I refill a water bottle and drop in a Nuun tablet. Even bought a Growler during the pandemic....

do they fill growlers with miller high life?

If they have it on tap they do! That being said, I've been helping my local breweries not let their kegs go bad so I've been drinking a lot of Kölsch and blondes during the pandemic....

Its not performative either. Like I’m not trying to get your goat. I really don’t understand 90% of what you like. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know! And I am reassured that if Julian HATES it that I am absolutely right that it's great!
A viscious circle for sure....

Can confirm.

Ramos Gin Fizz is my favorite. Very few places know how to make them correctly. I usually have to go to NOLA for them. (also I make sure it's not crowded and ask very nicely for one because they're a pain in the ass to make and when they serve it to you, everyone wants one).
My husband also can make them too :)
-
that does sound good
https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/ramos-gin-fizz-351596
Ingredients
1/4 cup (2 ounces) gin
1 dash (3 to 4 drops) orange blossom water*
1 large egg white
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) half-and-half
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon (1/2 ounce) simple syrup
1 cup ice cubes
2 tablespoons (1 ounce) seltzer
Preparation
*Also called orange flower water; available in liquor stores and in the specialty foods section of some supermarkets.
In large cocktail shaker, combine gin, orange blossom water, egg white, half-and-half, lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup. Shake vigorously for 25 seconds. Add ice and shake for 30 seconds more.
Strain mixture into 8-ounce glass. Slowly pour soda water down inside edge of shaker to loosen remaining froth. Gently ease soda water/froth mix onto drink and serve.

Other that Hutch, Seth and Eddie...have always thought the IMP/930 staph should interact more with this forum.
saw this in their email this week and thought it would have gone perfect here
6) Favorite cocktail recipe – Taylor Hartley, Contracts and Rentals Manager:
1. Find the largest glass you own
2. Add four cubes of ice to the glass
3. Pour Bourbon until glass is completely full

I can get behind this.

Did you not notice all but the alcoholic drinking entire glasses of bourbon are women? Space and Julian would have them out of here by the time kosmo approved of their account creation.

The alcoholic?
I thought we let him go a while ago....

Women generally gravitate to where they feel safe like the female-friendly confines of a Phish or Ween concert.

You’re too kind. I don’t know about great, but it’s a comparison, for sure.
-
I just don’t get the Ween bashing other than it may be an attempt to hit Yada
It’s like people who don’t know anything about them playing on stereotypes about Phish
The only connection between the bands is Phish covered Roses Are Free...that’s it!
Deaner is not a Trey Anastasio dude! More like Josh Homme
Ween has a ton of great concise pop songs and at least for my first 15 years seeing them - rarely see them now (last ten years) cause they don’t come here- lots of cute chicks
I wouldn’t compare Ween fans to Phish like I would a ton of jam bands and even the black Crowes ..you know, the pothead sandal wearing burnouts..that’s a small subsection of Ween fans
There are things to bash about Ween but none of the stuff Julian highlights..none of the false stereotypes
-

Don't be so hard on yourself: you figured it out, man.
-
I mean Ween has a somewhat misogynistic/homophobic Frank Zappa thing going at times but I think it’s just a big joke and assume everyone at show is in on the vibe being a big joke ..it’s fun to pretend to be in PC for an hour or two
If you’re not picking that up it’s on you
And Deaner is a cocaine guy not weed/heroin/LSD/shrooms...just liquor and blow..again like QOTSA

Oh..you’ve just been bullshitting for past few years
I feel so stupid now...
I mean I never understood how you could hate Ween so much but you seemed to really dislike them but I see you fooled me
-
I came here to say I have a margarita once every couple of years, but how is Ween a mixed drink?
-
..you know, the pothead sandal wearing burnouts..that’s a small subsection of Ween fans
can you stop doxxing yada
-
I mean I never understood how you could hate Ween so much but you seemed to really dislike them but I see you fooled me
I mean, I think they're total crap but I shoehorned them into this particular discussion just to tweak back at Yada for the driveby insult he lobbed my way out of nowhere.

It felt, cheap. The idea looked brilliant, though.

We found a patch of mint growing just over the property line, so ... mojitos last night: one with Havana Club 7 year old dark rum, and one with Bacardi. Both tasted the same to me. Both were good.
