We're basically non drinkers as well. Alcohol is carcinogenic for about ten or so different cancers. In addition to the other toxic effects. At a restaurant , we share one glass of wine. That's about it.

Easy, take it easy. That’s one reason Belushi only made it to 41ish!!:bigbow:

That and the "Speedballs"...

Rock M Up Yes Kirkland Tequila, Anejo, is so very good. As good as Patron gee wonder who Costco buys their Tequila from lol

I have a book titled Tequila Mockingbird.

Fine Needle cork puncturing system
 

My daughter is a wine lover - I would like to share your fine needle system with her - sounds like a great way to enjoy those special wines on multiple occasions. Thanks!

I used to live at Arnold Palmers Bay Hill Country Club in Orlando , I ran into him once while walking and he said I don’t see you playing golf , I told him I don’t play and he thought for a second and said , then your probably a happier person then most here lol

Right now?
 

Well, right now it is Gatorade fruit punch straight from the plastic bottle.

What am I drinking? Well, nothing at the moment, but that's about to change. My "go to" is gin and tonic.

My wife doesn't drink at all. Never liked the stuff. A few years ago I ruptured an achilles tendon and couldn't drive. I didn't want to send her to the liquor store because I knew she didn't really know how much booze costs (in New York-yipes)...so I was drinking everything we had left over from parties, and stuff other people had brought and left behind. Some of it was horrid. A lot of it was horrid.
Eventually I had to ask her to pick up a "handle" of Dewars. I had to send her a picture on the phone so she'd know what it looked like.
I heard the front door open..."Holy $hyte!!! Fifty-five bucks for this! I gotta start spending some money!!" I knew I was screwed.

At least you realized your mistake...

I learned to NEVER ask my wife for a gift from a music store...

If she saw the current prices on guitars (even though I didn't pay those prices), I'm a dead man and there will be a big garage sale...

Oh, and after I bought her a starter golf club set, she suggested I buy a second set of clubs to keep in TV, rather than schlep my clubs back and forth... I didn't have the guts to tell her my Driver cost more than her entire set... :eek::eek::eek:

Aldi winking owl Cabernet Sauvignon. Because the napa valley $50 bottles I have, would go too quickly. And will be inflated even more soon.

Good move on the golf clubs.

make them NE Wisconsin style or steak house style ..used to be every friday when we made fish fry..... well no walleye down here, we've done ocean perch and it fakes it just ok....working on a solution

Right now?
 

Right now? Right now it's hot cocoa. Wish I had some rum cream to put in it.

Tequila
 

One tequila is my limit, two at the very most, three and I’m under the table, four and I’m under the host.

Dorothy Parker I think said that , I didn’t google it just tried to remember it

You’re right, charlieo.

Attributed to Dorothy Parker:

I like to have a martini,
Two at the very most,
Three, I’m under the table,
Four, I’m under my host.

Now, there are martini glasses with Dorothy Parker’s little rhyme etched all around. Dorothy would have loved that.

Boomer

Now you're talking Driller

Tokyo Mule.

Fine needle system
 

It is called Coravin. Works very well. Around $150

one of my long time fantasies was to be sitting with Dorothy and the other great literary minds of the day at the Algonquin round table sipping a nice vodka martini , of course I’m a man who late at night is usually watching a 1930’S or40’s black and white movies

When I (occasionally) drink, I like one of two things: True Grit Cabernet Sauvignon, or a Montparnasse cocktail: Calvados & Elderflower liqueur, topped up with chardonnay, in a Reidel Nick and Nora cocktail glass. Have to go to wine.com to find the Calvados, the Elderflower liqueur, and the True Grit.
Nick and Nora glasses are on Amazon:

A “vodka martini” is like ordering a scotch gin and tonic, or a bourbon gimlet with a cherry. Thanks to James Bond, we now have vodka martinis, shaken not stirred. Today of course, you will get your drink, whereas a few decades ago you would have gotten a look from the bartender like you had lost your mind.
A martini is gin (not vodka) and vermouth, stirred (not shaken) up, with an olive. With a cocktail onion, it is a Gibson, not a martini with an onion. And who came up with a dirty martini?
Of course you must realize that I am just having some fun here, but nevertheless, it makes me smile whenever I hear some new concoction called a martini. (Now being from Maine, I did concoct the Mainetini; a martini with a pickled fiddlehead, but sadly it never caught on.
Cheers

Coming from the city of Boston I can forgive Maine people after all only having 2 1/2 seasons one being black fly season and the other mud season plus the few months when we southern New England people come up to get gouged by the local colorful characters , we sympathize. Is it 0 degrees yet up there

I prefer Gibsons, but I can no longer find cocktail onions that have been pickled in a salt brine without vinegar. It's been years.

My Martini experiment involved caperberries.

For Charlieo

Haha. Won’t warm up to 0 til mud season!

Regal cocktail onions available on line at WebstaurantStore. A whole 32 oz for $3.29. I just Googled “cocktail onions in salt brine”.

I thank you for the effort, but they contain vinegar.
The search continues. It's been years.

Ciroc Vodka Mango or Tanqueray Gin Orange. Splash of tonic with lime.

bourbon
 

pappy van winkle and blantons

Use to be Rheingold Chug-A-Mugs
 

Guaranteed to cut your finger on at least on of the six bottles when opening.

Bulleit bourbon neat. A double please. )

Right now?

Dunkin' Iced Coffee, waiting for the electrician to show up...

At one time, I was going to try to collect all 8 of the unique Blanton's bottle stoppers.

Drinks
 

I honestly don’t see how anyone can drink anything “diet”!

Rum. Tabletop distillery from Amazon. About 2/3 of it is converted to Mamajuana most of which I gift to friends.
Only store bought booze I drink is Tequila (not too fussy about the brand) and Wild Turkey.
Never drink sodas or milk. Coffee is Community from New Orleans. Sweet tea drinker all my life...with lemon. Tap water. Fruit juices. V8.

8 pages and nobody has admitted to drinking the Kool-Aid.

Topcha in post #19 confessed to drinking the stuff, but it proved a bit strong, so now waters it down with some reality juice.:icon_wink:
