oval office raja posted:That sounds dumb and pretentious so I won't be doing that It's technically correct. A rosé is just a wine with a short period of maceration(the juice sitting in the skins, pits, and stems). That's where the color comes from. Fresh grape must is just kinda grayish. So any white version of a typically red wine is just rosé renamed so we stupid Americans aren't overwhelmed by the majesty of French wine jargon. Warm, white, boxed wine, huh? Ever swap stories with this lady? I don't see how you can get down with a hot box of Franzia chard without living an interesting life. Hey you. I decided to approach Evan Williams with a fresh and open mind, just for you, and the Single Barrel's pretty tasty. Black label's still awful, though. simple posted:Hey OP please make fun of my taste of XO and Royal Salute. XO what? You drink a French brandy age standard? Royal Salute? Really? Did you just plug expensive booze into Google, and rush here to post the first two results? Or are you just a man of exquisite tastes? Do you only shitpost on the finest of Alienware gaming laptops?

Perpetual Hiatus posted:Gin. Haymans sloe gin and traders gin normally. Straight up or 2 parts sloe 1 part traders and the other half juice. Hayman's Old Tom is some fine gin, so I can't hate. It's honestly hard to make fun of gin, because it takes a whopping $15 to buy a fifth of something decent. If you like spending $30 on Ransom or Hayman's, then go forth and live a good life, I guess. If you are buying that level of gin, and mix with tonic, you should try Jack Rudy Tonic. You will feel like a fancy rear end in a top hat, and not care. How often are you seeing their sloe gin, though? A boutique sloe gin is a hard sell, where I'm at.

Perpetual Hiatus posted:I've only seen it at the megamart down the road here. I just get it for the different flavor, poo poo is ridiculously tasty. Pretty loving pricey tho. What are some cheap gins that are decent?? - traders seems to be the tastiest of the ones Ive tried before the big price jump My usual suggestion, I'm probably going to get some flak for. It's New Amsterdam. Yes, it's toned down on the juniper, and yes, it emphasizes citrus to make it taste good with juice. It's a very targeted product, but it's well-aimed. New Am's reasonable and it makes a tasty mixed drink. When it's disgustingly hot here, I mix it over crushed ice with ruby red grapefruit juice, and half as much orange juice. Bar Syrup, or Agave Nectar optional to taste. It's refreshing as poo poo, and the juice keeps it from dehydrating you. For other suggestions, honestly, just pick up any London Dry that's $2-3 more than Seagrams. You'll probably be holding a decent gin. It's that simple. Sekenr posted:Mostly vodka with ice or whiskey with ice. If I need to sober up a bit - vodka-red bull You're probably a bro, but you went to the good state school. Henny VSOP is very tasty, but Remy VSOP is usually about $15 cheaper, and also a damned fine glass of brandy. It usually goes on sale at a deep discount around Xmas, too. It's not quite the deep, round smoulder of Henessey. It's a little brighter. EightDeer posted:I mostly drink neat rum. I'm currently on a bottle of Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva, which is absolutely loving delicious. You bet your rear end it is. I love Diplomatico. Exclusiva has such a rich, spiced butterscotch note to it, and it's smooth as Hell. Their ultra-premium. The Ambassador. That poo poo is just...unfair. As a big spirits nerd, just the texture of the stuff got me aroused. Harime Nui posted:I say "straight" instead of "neat" and uh, eah Whatever works for you. I say neat around fellow Scotch dorks, but straight up works better at a bar.

Depends. Party night? Gin tonic, Irish car bombs, lager beer, black russian. Drinking alone at home to forget my miserable life? Kilkenny, wheat beer or cheap taxfree red wine. Quick round at the pub? Local amber. Mandatory  : Scotch if offered, neat or diluted. I'll try anything once, but I enjoyed Tullamore and laphroaig.VVVVVV it's like reading a horoscope

Fresh grape must is just kinda grayish. So any white version of a typically red wine is just rosé renamed so we stupid Americans aren't overwhelmed by the majesty of French wine jargon. Makes sense. I live in the middle of the US, where trends take fifteen years to creep in from the coasts, so I hadn't heard it. Same almost-MIL calls it a 'blush' which is AFAIK not pretentious, just true. I've been trying to get good stories out of her but she's a very Catholic woman who also has illusions of being a southern belle, so it's like getting a live human out of a Geo Tracker that got smashed by a semi. Also, at least some of the drinking is her substitute for going to therapy and working on the many issues she's got from A. being married to an abusive man, B. divorcing that man, and C. still sharing a kid with that man until the man died. Along with other assorted life weirdness. Some of the best booze-related stories I've heard come from my father, who hasn't drank in, I don't know, thirty, thirty-five years. Like when he and his brother went through roughly 40 beers in a night and he decided, with the urging of his brother, to drive his Corvette down some railroad tracks, getting on them at a street crossing where they were level with the road. Not only did they make onto the tracks, they made it a good sixty feet down them before the wheels went off, front wheels on one side of the tracks, back wheels on the other. Since it was stuck and they were waaay too drunk to call for hep without getting arrested, and there was nothing they could do, they left the keys in it, walked back home, drank a little more, and passed out. A few hours later he woke up and dragged his rear end to work, weird third-shift times.When he came out of work early the next morning, there was his Corvette, sitting in the parking lot of the tow-yard across from the factory exit he came out of. He got the spare key out of his wallet, jumped in, started it, and drove home. He was never contacted by the police or the tow-yard. He later found out that a train did, in fact, come down those tracks, and it loving stopped. This was in a rural area outside of a decent-sized down, so the train had miles of visibility to see the very shiny red thing across the tracks, and was able to brake. The train conductors (or whatever their titles were in the 70's) hopped out and went knocking on the doors of the houses the track ran behind, going Hey, WTF, is this your car?" Once they ascertained it didn't belong to anyone nearby, they had it towed. To the tow-yard directly outside the doors my dad used to exit work. My mother's first (also fourth) husband likes to say that my father could 'fall in a shitheap and come out smelling like a rose,' and cites this story often as proof. My dad still has an 'oh gawrsh' attitude about it, possibly because things usually work out for him. Between the range of my father's stories and the Catholic/southern belle poo poo, I don't think I'm going to get any stories out of the woman who started an anti-feminist group in college in the early 70's that really wow me. Most amusing thing I've seen her do is get drunk, go outside, fall down in plain view of the house, then later claim the bruise was from falling on 'uneven cement.' I'll probably get poo poo for sharing that story of my dad's but it's too awesome, and it's been corroborated by enough people that I'm certain it happened.
