this is the thread where we talk about booze

[Ankf00]

yay :)

place in town serves stoli elit $7 for a highball filled to the brim w/ MAYBE 15% ice. 4-6 shots worth. ****ing $60 for a fifth. XO up there too in bottle price & quality. $7/highball is where it's at though...


But now Zubrowka is sold in the states since they figured out a way to eliminate the toxin from the bison grass they add to it. $20 a fifth it's right up there with the elit and XO w/ smoothness. flavors are obviously unique w/ the bison grass, not like the vanilla and spice of the stoli elit. been on a Monopolowa trip lately though, $23 handle. potato vodka though so there's the characteristic syrupiness. sweeter taste. $23 for 1.5L, and smooooove. :tony:

What beer drinkers drink when they're not drinking beer.

[Andrew Longman]

Caipirinha (Brazilian)

1 lime - quartered or sliced thin. I like sliced
2 T brown sugar (or white if you prefer)

Mash that together in an Old Fashion glass until the sugar disolves

Fill with crushed ice

add 3+ Oz of cachaça or vodka or rum. I like vodka

Stir

Get ass kicked

Great on a hot summer day. You can also make them by the pitcher for friends

These have also caused my wife to chase the kids around the backyard trying to stuff Tostadas down their pants. Money went in the children's therapy jar that day. :D

[Ankf00]

cachaça or vodka or rum

only the formermost makes it a true caipirinha :D mmmm, limey booze...

[Don Quixote]

I'm not a drinking man, but if I was I'd have a quality bottle of potato vodka in the freezer at all times. Just in case, you know.

[oddlycalm]

Dark rum & tonic

In a bucket glass full of ice
1.5 shots Meyers dark rum (more screws with the flavor balance)
fill with tonic water
dash of bitters
squeeze of lime

For reasons never clear to me this drink is considered "American" by the rest of the world according to dozens of people overseas that felt compelled to tell me that over the years. Since I've never met anyone else that drinks it, American or otherwise, and as the reactions are always so similar, I've speculated that it must have been a drink identified with an American in movie that saw wide distribution everywhere but the US....:gomer:

Wild ass guess but in colonial days, rum was the drink of choice and often because of uneven quality it was mixed with what-have-you (sometimes adorned with a feather) and called a cocktail. Cocktails of course evolved to mean any mixed drink, but it is fairly modern history that the rest of the world drank "cocktails", preferring to stick to their local beer, wine or spirit of choice.

I'm just suggesting it may the the rum and mixed drink aspects of it that makes it "American"

Repeated for emphasis:


Sandra Lee is pure evil. This frightening Hell Spawn of Kathie Lee and Betty Crocker seems on a mission to kill her fans, one meal at a time. She Must Be Stopped. Her death-dealing can-opening ways will cut a swath of destruction through the world if not contained. I would likely be arrested if I suggested on television that any children watching should promptly go to a wooded area with a gun and harm themselves. What’s the difference between that and Sandra suggesting we fill our mouths with Ritz Crackers, jam a can of Cheez Wiz in after and press hard? None that I can see. This is simply irresponsible programming. Its only possible use might be as a psychological warfare strategy against the resurgent Taliban--or dangerous insurgent groups. A large-racked blonde repeatedly urging Afghans and angry Iraqis to stuff themseles with fatty, processed American foods might be just the weapon we need to win the war on terror.

Highly likely. It is the official festival, get f'd up drink of Brazil. I thank my Greek Latin American International Marketing father-in-law for introducing me and his daughter to them.

Of course this is the man who nearly choked to death on his Caipirinha when the wife of a great friend of mine asked him, after my wife announced she was pregnant with out first, "So, how do you feel about your daughter having sex?

Still a classic moment in this great big fat Greek marriage. :D

A good article from Stanley Bing @ Fortune Magazine

http://money.cnn.com/magazines/fortune/fortune_archive/2003/12/22/356102/index.htm

excerpted below:

I'll be honest with you. I hate people who don't drink too much, at least now and then, except of course for recovering alcoholics, who are excused from this censure and have my sympathy, and people who are intent on driving, obviously. Excessive sobriety is even more irritating at holiday time, when the spirit of giving meets the passion for having, and everybody dances around the bonfire, and we all wake up with headaches for a couple of weeks, and love conquers all someplace in there. None of that happens without sufficient wassail.

To help you along in this merry season, I'll go through the libations available and what business function each can provide.

First, vodka. Of all drinks you can consume during a business day, vodka is the least detectable and most acceptable at breakfast. While few of you will dispense a tumbler of clear, cold Stoli and pour it down the hatch first thing in the day, there are substances that, while they spoil the taste of the vodka, can be used to disguise it and render it socially acceptable. They include orange juice, cranberry juice, tomato juice, and lingonberry juice. Any one will do, frankly. Champagne may be introduced into an orange-juice-and-vodka melange to create a sissy-poo beverage called a mimosa.

This tactic of diluting good wholesome vodka with obnoxious fluids may continue into the afternoon, when the drink may be allowed to confront the consumer as its own proud self, neat or with a little tonic. By then, though, other options are available.

At lunch and dinner, for example, wine is a permissible holiday indulgence, even though it is frowned upon during the school year. Wine comes in two primary colors--red and white. Red is better, but white is okay if there is no red around.

There are many people who know a lot about wine, and jolly good for them. It is possible, however, to know too much about the subject and thereby turn into a gomer. When you are seated with somebody sucking his cheeks and huffing and puffing about wood and oak and big shoulders and noses and such, the best thing to do, if he outranks you, is to nod sagely and continue to fill your glass.

Here's all you really need to know. Red wine goes well with meats, cheeses, and heavy gruels, and may also be taken between shots of hard liquor instead of beer. White wine should be drunk very cold and is best enjoyed with fish, light salads, and scores from Broadway musicals. Very sweet whites are also good with desserts if there is no sambuca available.

Speaking of which, as evening arrives, many a corporate drinker heads for the stuff that makes the festive heart grow full, principally the heavy brown liquors that look so good in a broad-bottomed glass. Chief among them are the whiskeys, including scotch, bourbon, rye, and Irish whiskey, which is often ruined with coffee. For me, true Kentucky bourbon is the best and most economical, because after an evening spent in its company, I am generally intoxicated for several days afterward. There is also rum, if you are a pirate, and tequila, if you're trying to have sex with someone you may not need to remember afterward.

Brown or white, green or purple, all those drinks are very good for you, build strong bodies at least 12 ways, and make you philosophical and happy if taken slowly throughout an evening.

Finally, a word about gin. Gin is really terrible stuff. If you drink too much of it, you reek of the substance afterward as it seeps out of your pores. I once knew a guy who lived in a cloud of it day and night. He is retired now, having outlived about a dozen of his peers. But that's beside the point. Gin is a destroyer of souls, unless you mix it with a tiny bit of vermouth and put it into a large, conical glass. Add an olive or two, and you have the spirit of the season all year round.

I'm real ****ing late to the party but Bulleit Kentucky Frontier Whiskey is the ****. ****ing fantastic rye-dominant bourbon, apparently they take the care that Tito's USED TO with their booze at both the head and tail of the stll.

Very clean, light in the throat flavor, rye-heavy. I far prefer it to Knob or Maker's in that $22-25 price range.

Sign of the times...? When a town the size of Portland is closing in on a dozen different local vodkas labels you gotta wonder. Cheap, decent quality, locally made vodka seems like it might be just the thing considering the recent economic news. Joining the bargain basement Monarch from nearby Hood River we now have Spudka, Portland 88, Hot Monkey and the aptly named New Deal.
