What Did You Drink Last Night?

[jamespowers]

Thanks.
Yeah I found Caroline's to be really good and it's about $12-15 dollars, as opposed to Baileys (paying for the name) at $20-22.

Caroline's is fine for mixing. You are ok for using it like that and at a lesser cost.
Now Tia Maria has no substitute.

Atomic Frog Balls in a martini???

Anyone ever tried these Atomic Frog Balls in a martini? The website says they are "outstanding".

I think I'll wait for a report from James ...

 

[nice hat dude!]

I dunno the name alone is off-putting.
I'll stick to my Spicy Martini with red pepper stuffed olives. My friend makes the olives for me.

I think you get that assignment. Let us know how they taste.

I ran into the listing for them in a mailing for Holiday wine baskets (from a winery in your general area).
I like their InZinerator, but would probably need to have consumed both bottles at one sitting in order to be persuaded to try the Atomic Frog Balls.

Interesting. Brussel sprouts?! I wouldn't eat those normally much less pickled.

Finished with this semester's finals; five more months and it's on to bar hell! In celebration, the champagne came out, in the form of cocktails. In order, there was:

-Eastside Distilling Holiday Spiced Liqueur
-Domaine de Canton
-Pousse Rapière
-St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram
-Crème de Cassis
-Grand Rubren Crème de Violette

And to close out the night, an Opening Act (Domaine de Canton, Campari, lime juice).

Nary a beer to be seen! (Though I did pick up two bombers for later use: Deschutes The Abyss 2012 and Double Mountain Fa-La-La-La Winter Ale.)

At least the Syrah gift comes with jelly/jam. I'd go with that one.....
The only problem with having wine delivered, is that I have to be home to accept it.
At least if it's shipped via Fed-Ex.
Since I'm not, this option is out.
And having wine delivered at work....THAT would go over well!

You mixed Canton and Campari?!:faint:

 

[anon`]

Yes.

And it was good.

(Use a 4:1:1 ratio.)

 

[jamespowers]

Yes.

(Use a 4:1:1 ratio.)

I wouls use a 4:0:1. I always try to balance sweet, sour and strong. You have two sours in there. I would add some type of whiskey in place of the Campari and fix it.

What? You must have weird taste buds--Campari is bitter, but certainly not sour!

It is sour and nasty to me. Do you like Cynar too? lol

 

[LocktownDog]

Nog and brandy.

Not so much the nog.

Okay ... no nog.

But still, it was good.

Brandy works for me.

Yes.

As well as Fernet, Pelinkovac, Herbsaint, Chartreuse, and Underberg.

There is a difference - between sour and bitter.
