Favorite cocktail

[fw102807]

My absolute favorite is a ginger pear martini. I think there will be some who will be appalled at the thought of flavored vodka.

Back in the day (like a hundred years ago), my favorite was a rusty nail--scotch and drambuie. I'd be flat on my back after one of those today. But I do like those thingies in a copper mug. There are two kinds. I can't remember the names. We were at a brewery in Pittsburgh with extended family, and on the menu it said you either had to pay a $5 deposit or surrender your driver's license to order one. I was hesitant, but the waitress, obviously assessing my age, said Oh, forget it, you don't have to do either of those. Of course, I then carefully made sure I was the last one gone from our table lest the younger crowd get any ideas.

Thank you! I knew there was some Russian component in the name.

Anything with a little umbrella.

Actually, I only drink rum that I distill myself and the occasional shot of tequila.

They used to sell pre-made Harvey Wallbangers in the liquor store, but I can't find them anymore.

I haven't heard of those in years. Funny how some drinks go in and out of popularity

I haven't heard of those in years. Funny how some drinks go in and out of popularityWine is funny too. I remember putting little ripped pieces of masking tape on a mateusse bottle and rubbing brown shoe polish on it so it looked like a leather candle stick holder.
That sat on my gigantic
electric wire spool table.

I always tried to be different, so I would be accepted...as one of the crowd.

You had to have one. Where else can you put the reel-to-reel and all the albums?

I was just different. Kind of like Sheldon Cooper without the IQ.

Gin and tonic in the summer. Whiskey in the winter. Beer year round.

Whiskey old fashioned sour with shrooms in the winter. JD and lemonade in the summer...

Jamesons with club soda and my 2nd is Pinot Grigio.
I have A drink every couple of months or so. 🤫

A good scotch ale that has been aged in oak bourbon barrels. It is a sipping beer and they are relatively hard to find. My favorite is called Backwoods ******* and is made by Founders Brewing Company. It is a seasonal beer only released once per year, sometime in October. I have a local package store up north reserve two cases for me each year and bring one case to our home in the Villages. I ration it to one beer a week so my supply lasts until next years batch is released. Another brewery, Central Waters, also makes a great barrel aged scotch ale.

I couldn't figure out why you use asterisks for favorite beer. We can all google, you can't keep it a secret-----now that i looked it up i understand. Do you enjoy World of Beers?

[fw102807]

When we were in NYC one time we went to a pub where they served Magners Pear Cider. We have learned since then that it is very difficult to find anywhere else.

I didn't put in the asterisks, I guess there is an algorithm used by TOTV that bleeps out certain words, including part of the name of the referenced beer.

I like the fact that world of beer has tablets that allow you to sort through your beer preferences and narrow down your choices based on many different criteria. However, I only drink Mich. Ultra (low carb beer) and an occasional barrel aged beer so the variety they offer is not my thing. Although I don't go there often, when my buddies from up north come to visit for a golf vacation I bring them there so they can experience the novelty.
