What are you drinking?

[imix500]

Rogue Brutal IPA

 

[kevinkr]

Cheap red wine.. 😀

 

[ashok]

Gentleman Jack and home made Palinca, from plums and kept in a mulberry barrel.

How did you distill the Palinca ( Palinka?). Home made equipment ?

I made potato wine as an experiment. Was surprised when it turned out quite nice. Needs more aging however.

 

[JLH]

Mountain Dew White Out and Amp energy mixed together. Got another 6 hours before I'm done here - Lord help me!

 

[sofaspud]

Bud Light Chelada, with a dash of salsa habanero roja

You are right about aging. Mine sits for at least a year in barrel. It is distilled twice. The equipment is similar to this one:

 

[Pano]

Martini, the classic version. 1 part dry Vermouth, 2 parts Gin. Add 2 olives. Yum!

 

[Variac]

7yr Abuelo Rum from Panama. They age it in oak, which is kinda interesting..

 

[brianco]

As it is mid-morning here I am on my second jug of Columbian med. roast!

Beni di Batasiola;
Grappa di Moscato

If you have not tried Grappa before...........do...............it's got one of the most complex flavours in the world, and the best aftertaste that stays with you for ages.

Grappa is like tequila strained through sweaty underwear.

A good grappa is a thing of beauty. Especially when used to "correct" some espresso.

Fernet, on the other hand, is an unhygienic armpit.

If you must drink something "stanky" then "Marc de Bourgougne" is a much more pleasant way to do your trans-esterification. I suggest a trip to St. Pere sous Vezelay as an example.

Can you imagine an "eau de vie de durian"?

 

[SY]

That might contravene the Geneva Convention.

AT LAST! Not just one, but two opinions from SY with which I totally agree - and that without any hesitation. But I am also sure that his opinion is subjective - the problem with a properly conducted double blind test is that no-one remembers anything whatsoever!😀

Bad Grappa, and there is a lot of it made, is better suited for removing old paint or splints from horses legs!

Double blind test?! Is that before or after the test is executed that the tester is double blind!!😱😱

Peace,

This is actually a favorite of mine, mixed with Sprite or Vernors Ginger Ale:

 

[luvdunhill]

Fernet Cocktail anyone?

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

 

[Pano]

I'm having some damn fine sipping rum, 12 years old. In a brandy snifter. Very enjoyable.

 

[badman]

Blue Moon beer. Good summer drinkin'.
