I'm still working on some straight bourbon tonight.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #911 on:** January 29, 2016, 07:41:49 PM »

I need to do that. A nice sipping bourbon on the rocks.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #912 on:** January 29, 2016, 07:45:28 PM »

I'm telling you, this Evan Williams 1783 Small Batch is tasty and on the inexpensive side. Really surprising.

They just built this new liquor store next to wear it food shop. I'm in trouble.

Tomorrow night?

Pussy.

He's probably still working on THAT for tonight.

I'm working on bourbon and sleep tonight.

I think Cincinnati is the visiting team this weekend. If so, their ace pitchers are in the rotation. Not sure how this series will play out.

Stop it Lexxi.

Nope, no fucking around to be had here. I figure I put in about 60 hours Mon thru Fi this week, and that pace will keep up over the weekend. Drinking heavily tonight is preventing me from trying to work tonight...so bring it on!!

Goose Island Bourbon County 2014. 14.4%

Bold, boozy and beautiful.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #924 on:** January 30, 2016, 05:23:28 PM »

In.

Ballast Point Sculpin IPA.

millahh · « **Reply #925 on:** January 30, 2016, 05:53:41 PM »

In:

Victory Winter Cheer, tasted like a 60/40 mix of Hoegaarden and Budweiser. Went down the drain after about four sips.

Now Breckenridge Vanilla Porter...much better.

Oh my. I may have to see if I can find that at our local liquor megamart tomorrow.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #928 on:** January 30, 2016, 06:04:57 PM »

Millahh, going with your first Manhattan option, the sweeter one. Buffalo Trace with M&R Rosso vermouth. Nice, but I should probably go with the second one. That'll probably be more to my liking.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #929 on:** January 30, 2016, 06:05:17 PM »

I'm working on the bathroom tomorrow so the wife is food shopping. I already put in the request.

Buffalo Trace with the M&R is good and it's uncomplicated, but not sophisticated.

The fancy-pants sweet vermouth we use is Dolin. Less sweet, more herbal with a little astringency. I easily cuts the Buffalo Trace sweetness.

Sir GuitarCozmo · « **Reply #931 on:** January 30, 2016, 06:15:11 PM »

I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the info.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #932 on:** January 30, 2016, 06:30:07 PM »

millahh, I saw this again today.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #933 on:** January 30, 2016, 07:03:10 PM »

In.

Logsdon Straffe Drieling. An organic farmhouse tripel brewed with spices.

In

Ran a bunch of errands today and then took a nap, except that nap extended to 9pm and I missed out on doing things with my friend. Oops oh well, time for a drink and a relaxing evening home.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #935 on:** January 30, 2016, 07:35:47 PM »

In.

Wolf 9 Belgian Ale. Good, not mind blowing.

millahh · « **Reply #936 on:** January 30, 2016, 07:41:05 PM »

Dammit, King...

I'm gonna go to the liquor store tomorrow and just start badgering employees until I get it somehow.

Coz, the other way to tame that Manhattan might be to go 50/50 sweet and dry vermouth.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #937 on:** January 30, 2016, 07:48:50 PM »

Just made a killer Bloody Mary with this added, plus I put in a few drops of Naga Jolokia hot sauce.

cramx3 · « **Reply #938 on:** January 30, 2016, 07:58:51 PM »

I really never understood the appeal of bloody marys. Just can't get into them at all. Although some hot sauce in a drink aint bad at all

Prog Snob · « **Reply #939 on:** January 30, 2016, 08:02:09 PM »

My father used to make virgin bloody mary's for me when I was a kid. So, they always appealed to me. Plus, I love anything spicy so it's just a natural attraction.

King Postwhore · « **Reply #940 on:** January 30, 2016, 08:23:39 PM »

I love me a good bloody mary.

Prog Snob · « **Reply #941 on:** January 30, 2016, 08:28:13 PM »

You should try that sauce some time, King. You'll be pleased.

cramx3 · « **Reply #942 on:** January 30, 2016, 08:30:28 PM »

Makes sense, maybe because I never had one until my late 20s and by then I just was not into that type of drink.

Usually see those with brunches but I've tried and just can't get myself to drink them. But that is just me.

millahh · « **Reply #943 on:** January 30, 2016, 08:43:41 PM »

Bloody Marys work for me, mostly because I love hot sauce, black pepper and horseradish. Not big on the tomato juice, but, but I can manage.

Back to the Manhattan, the cherries make a surprisingly big difference. Once you've had proper bourbon marinated cherries, there's no going back to the corn syrup and food coloring infused ones that you buy for three bucks a jar. They're not good, and can influence the drink more than you'd expect.

millahh · « **Reply #944 on:** January 30, 2016, 08:47:10 PM »

Oh yeah, in, just split a bottle of prosecco with the wife, now finishing off the Buffalo Trace.
