The Evening Tipple...

[Smithy]

Been damn warm today (30 Celsius) so on the garganega again this evening, very nice and refreshing.

I'm with Splatt, I've had some spectacularly good warm sake, but I've also gotten spectacularly tiddly on the stuff. Sneaks up on you.

Stopped off at pub on way home for pint of guinness - it's good for you. :beer:

I like to think of Guinness as "a meal in a glass" Tangoman :essen:

I'm about to open a bottle of Yeni Raki. Never had it before...

 

[Panache]

It's been a warm day here in California and I think a gin and tonic is in order.

Cheers

I've gone for a nice little glass of Bailey's on ice for this evening

Tonight it's a daiquiri, a real daiquiri, and not "onr of those neon green , sissified slushies" (à la Good Eats). Just white rum, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup. Nice and refreshing. ^_^

We just discovered a new something, and had to buy it for the great bottle:

it's very sweet straight and mixes very well with tonic or champagne.

Simple today. Wine earlier and sipping Southern Comfort on the rocks in the hot tub later.

This caught my eye the other day at the liquor store, but I didn't bother to pick it up and read the label. What's it described as? Flavors? Proof? Would you get it again?

I made a Pear Sangria on Sunday.
a bottle of pinot grigio
a few ounces of Poire Williams eau de vie
a cubed pear,
in a pitcher with ice and lemon slices

It's made from elder flowers in france (not sure what those are) and the flavor is very light. We mixed it with tonic and lime, and it has a distinctively citrus, almost grapefruit taste.

not sure on the proof, there is a lot of info (and great art) on the site: stgermain.fr

My mixological endeavors continue tonight with another classic, the Manhattan. I can see why the classics are still going strong. They're simple, unpretentious, and mighty tasty, but always classy.

Elder flowers - from the elder tree...also tastes good with apple juice....

 

[Rachael]

the weather has gotten cold and gray again (surprise) so tonight it's Pinot Noir Port and a little chocolate.

 

[miss_elise]

Ah, the Manhattan. If there is any doubt it's either a Cuba Libre or a Manhattan for me. They're my default cocktails. A classic manhattan is the classy choice, of course! Up for me Thanks Hexenmeister.
