What Did You Drink Last Night?

[kiltie]

I'm a steadfast creature of habit: not unwilling to try new things, I just tend to stick with what I like. So here's a thread, not necessarily for making recommendations, but just to see what the day to day is like. Did you break out the good stuff for a special occasion, or just a couple of Buds with buds? Try something new? Maybe tell us where you imbibed...

Last night, for me, was a double Jameson and two pints of Bridgeport IPA with a friend, sitting at the bar where they know our names and bring the beer without our having to ask.

Whats for Breakfast?

Carolans Irish Cream and coffee, at my desk , reading this thread.
I am big on experimenting, and keeping my favorites. I tend to try something new every week along with the regulars. chow

I don't vary from my preferences much; Islay scotch (Laphroig is best-White Horse blended if I'm drinking cheap), sharp bourbon (Old Granddad), and Spanish Torres Imperial 10 brandy.

So far this is the Texas thread...

 

[Tangoman]

Too much.

 

[just_me]

V8 juice mixed with vodka, hot sauce, Old Bay seasoning, and stirred with a stalk of celery.

 

[Nash Buckingham]

Martini's - - Lots and lots of Martini's!
(it's cold outside )

 

[KittyT]

Beam and soda

 

[Caroline]

half a mai tai made with the Trader Vic's mix, lime juice and Trader Vic's rum - I was anticipating insomnia but CNBC put me to sleep...

Blanton's...on the rocks baby. I'm a sucker for good single barrell, small batch whiskey. Keep the bar well stocked so as to indulge myself on occasion.

 

[Miss Pinup]

A glass of red wine which was lovely!

 

[dnjan]

A glass of the house red wine (don't even know what is was) while attending a German Discussion Table at a local restaurant. (this place hosts foreign-language discussion tables most nights - German is Tuesday)
Don't know if the wine helped either my pronunciation or vocabulary, but it at least gave me the courage to try ...

Half a bottle of Tanners claret superb. :eusa_clap

 

[ortega76]

Drank half a bottle of Romance Red from Cooper's Hawk Winery. Unfortunately, my wife is on anti-biotics for a sinus infection. So no wine for her.

Snort from an old Bottle of WIld Turkey Russell's Reserve. The 101 proof stuff...

 

[rkwilker]

Big fan here of Russell's Reserve. Good choice. Last night for me was Bookers/rocks.

Another IPA, this time Abita, shivering like a mangy dog on my front porch last night. Just enjoying the few cold days here in my own perverse way. I'm hoping Dixie will make a comeback. Anyone know anything those poor guys?

 

[hollowpond]

John Daniels (when you've known him as long as I have, its John) on the rocks in a double old fashion glass. I'm just as curious about what type of glass I drink out of as what is in the glass. My wife came home the other day with some stemless martini glasses...no way am I drinking out of that!

Tonight I believe I'll have a Bombay Sapphire martini (two olives and one onion) and drink it out of the old glasses just to make a point.

 

[Highlander]

Jim Beam Black...On the Rocks

 

[dnjan]

A glass of Willamette Valley Vineyards 2004 Barrell Select Oregon Pinot Noir with dinner (fantastic, jammy strawberry nose, but doesn't really follow-up with an equally impressive taste and finish), followed by a red blend from the paso robles area, with cheese (can't remember the name of the wine - I was more interested in the cheeses). Dessert was a glass of Smith Woodhouse 1995 LBV.
All-in-all, a good evening ...

I had a really awesome pisco sour at the best cocktail bar in Copenhagen, Ruby. I can't resist the creamy sourness tinged with a dash of bitter... Yum!
