Never thought to mix gin with anything other than tonic or club soda. Will have to try it with regular ginger ale, since that stuff is obviously not sold here.

In Finland, the term "long drink" has come to mean a combination of gin and grapefruit soda (kind of like a gin Paloma with no lime or salt). It's actually pretty tasty with a basic London dry gin and Squirt.

Shortylickens will be abusing his liver tomorrow, because fuck being healthy.


First up: Hot Buttered Rum.


1 small slice soft butter
1 tsp brown sugar
ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg
Vanilla extract
2 ounces dark rum
Hot water



1. Place the butter, sugar and spices at the bottom of an Irish coffee glass or mug.
2. Mix well or muddle.
3. Pour in the rum and hot water.
4. Stir.

Shortylickens is not happy.


Either:

1. Hot buttered rum is the most overrated drink in the entire world.

or

2. It needs to be made with specific ingredient and precise instructions neither of which I have.



Not going to try every recipe in the world. I'll just let it go.

What rum did you use? A nice amber rum is your best bet; Appleton V/X or better. If you used Bacardi Gold... yeah, that's gonna suck. But actually, yeah, hot buttered rum is shit. You take a perfectly serviceable alcohol and then load it up with... butter? What ginormous gastropod thought that was a good idea? "Hey, got a new idea for a drink; bourbon and mayonnaise topped with heavy cream and chocolate sprinkles and garnished with a jar of bacon grease." Fucking hell.

If you still have some rum, make a nice daiquiri. 2 ounces of rum, the juice from 1/2 a lime (no bottled shit) and a couple teaspoons of sugar (to taste). Shake it with ice, strain it into a drinking vessel of some sort, BAM. It'll take your mind right off the fact that you drank butter.

Got a new tumbler set from the GF this week, so whatever I decide on will be mixed! Not entirely sure yet, probably go with the standard margarita.

I want to go have a black lager, which is freaking delicious, at this burger place, but their burgers are not very good. A place across the street has way better food, but their beer selection is much crappier.

Maybe this belongs in the first world problems thread. :hmm:

Good cognac is tasty. None of the generally available Hennessy products are good cognac.

Guinness extra stout; room temperature. Of course my room's 55F, so that's about perfect :^D

Hennessy Cognac XO (750 ML)
$239.99

94 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST, DOUBLE GOLD SAN FRANCISCO SPIRITS COMPETITION. Fat, rich flavors with hints of charred oak and a slight sweetness in the finish.
