Great marketing move by AB on Busch Light silos.

As expensive as beer is at venues they give you the extra ounce for the same price as the other silos.

Wifey was a scotch drinker when we met. She had a “fish bowl“ glass at her house that she would pull out. One night visiting college buddies, she went over the line and basically steered clear of the peat for many years.
A few years back, a good friend introduced me to some fairly good scotch, which we pull out on occasion.
Lagavulin for the best of times. Oban and Taliskers for more “routine” get togethers.
Wifey has recently joined me once again.
White Zombie beer from Catawba brewing is a mainstay. Beck’s, Stella Artois, and Cervasa are usually in the fridge.
A fairly inexpensive bottle of red vino is on the shelf when desired.

She loves the smell so she asked for a sip. LOL.I think it was a Talisker - her eyes watered.. She still loves the smell but won't touch it.

I do. Dirty martinis are just something I’ve never gotten. I like a Bombay sapphire with a few olives in it, but the olive brine itself should not be consumed.

Sucks to be you.

Um, okay.

So I assume this also applies to caffeine.

 

[Derekd3408]

Um, okay.

Sucks to be you. 😉 Olive juice rocks. Gonna have a titos on the rocks extra dirty with 2 olives now in your honor.

You all do you. I like olives. I like gin. I like olives in gin. I don’t like olive brine in gin. For the ketchup haters (I am not one) it is like taking something ketchup based, like your favorite BBQ sauced ribs, and then drenching them in ketchup.

Don't make them too complex. Reasonable ingredients you can buy and find easily.

My go to:
Dirty Martini.
2 ounces vermouth
4 ounces vodka
1 ounce olive juice
Put in shaker with lots of ice cubes
Shake the schiz out of it

Serve with 5 olives on a plastic swizzle per glass

Serve in martini glass. Makes 2.

Using vodka in a dirty martini makes you a filthy animal.

 

[DFSNOLE]

Me
Rocks glass with 2 to 3 fingers of bourbon or rye. Maybe a cube or two.

Wife
Porn Star Martini
1.5 oz vanilla vodka (it doesn't matter Brian)
1 oz of passion fruit puree
.5 oz passion fruit liqueur - Passoa
.5 oz lime juice

Pour over ice and shake well. Serve in a martini glass. The glass is the only martini thing about this drink. I will make it by the pitcher when we have folks over. All the ladies love it.

 

[artradley]

Six cups Old Overholt rye. Two cups Cocchi di Torino. Pour into an oak barrel and let it sit for four weeks.

Pour four ounces into a shaker filled with ice. Stir forty times. Strain into a cocktail glass with a Luxardo cherry. Optional, smoke with cherry wood chips for no more than ten seconds.

 

[hawkmart]

3 oz gin
1 oz St Germain
1/2 oz simple syrup
1 fresh squeezed lime

Shake in ice and pour into short glass. Red's calls it a 405 but I'm sure it has a more common name, haven't bothered to look.

oh man, you are reminding me that mint julep season is right around the corner.

Thankfully, we just put a contract on a house in Lexington, VA, which while not lexington Kentucky, is still horse country, and still moonshine country. But I'm going to have to check whether there's a good patch to grow some mint when we do our home inspection...

We hold an annual Kentucky Derby Party. The first one I told Mrs Radley I was going to make a couple of pitchers of mint juleps, and she said, “Nobody will want to drink that!” They drained both pitchers and still do every year.

In honesty, though, when I think mint I am more in mind of a Mojito, which I love.

+1 on the mojitos - I like to turn them into slushies on occasion by throwing them into my ice cream maker, though the yield is way too low.

I got my julep recipe from a guy who died of liver complications. It starts out with a ratio of something like 7 oz bourbon and 2 oz syrup...and ends with "the recipe multiplies nicely if more than one is to be consumed." In my house, the single serving serves two. But it's damn good.
