im upset at the lack of suggestions and will therefore cancel the horrorshow

i apologize, i was worried i would worsen the hangover with any suggestion i might make

banana peppers, chive, tarragon, fennel seed and olives (or capers)

keep the beef broth, and use maka's mark

dry ice, fresh parsley, and muddled preserves, maybe cherry, or apple

brewer's yeast instead of vegemite, and brown sugar instead of maple syrup may work as good alternatives

the brown sugar should be heated in order to become a kind of caramel

unfortunately the marmite kind of froze and stuck to the side of the shaker, and i used the shaker just to try to mix the bbq sauce and marmite in so :-\

it is a bit uh...cloudy, with a nice head on it



and i threw on some orange zest to really kick it up a notch



(i have some really lovely tasting oranges that still have great zest)

the head looks very nice

some egg white foam may be nice if you don't use bbq sauce if you try this again

Jack Daniels is the Johnnie Walker of bourbon. Bottom-tier swill with an inflated price due to marketing.

Apparently the higher-end Jack Daniels is pretty decent, just like the higher-end Johnnie Walker. But you'll still pay more than it's worth.

Unless you can find Johnnie Walker Green Label under $50, that stuff is solid.

Went to a Cajun/southern food place a couple weekends ago and their drink menu advertised something called a "Louisville Lightning", which as far as I can tell was just bourbon and lemonade with a lemon wedge for garnish. Pretty tasty for its simplicity, and also making me get more bourbon. Got EW White last time, what should I get now?


A bottle of 1800 Silver saved my relationship with the girlfriend who later become my wife.

Japanese stuff is the worst now in terms of value. Scotch can have ok value around 10-12 years of age if you know what you want, the price balloons massively after that.

Bourbon and rye are ridiculously competitive in terms of price, but the really good stuff is extremely hard to find and occasionally priced through the roof.

If you like rye, Pikesville is a pretty good choice. In terms of bourbon, the best consistent value in the higher-end range is probably Russell's Reserve. If you can find Booker's for $50 or less it's pretty decent, too, but the age goes down and the price goes up every year now. Can't go wrong with Evan Williams Single Barrel, of course, but that's not "expensive enough" to be high-end I guess.

Evan Williams is perf for the discriminating alcoholic on a budget, imo

in my case, i have been ingesting endless gin and tonics while using new amsterdam gin, and it has been luscious

My favorite drink, and perhaps the most versatile drink around, the Irish Coffee
The 'authentic' way
Warm the glassware using hot water to ensure coffee doesn't immediately lose any warmth. Dump the water out and dry the mug. Add coffee and brown sugar - sugar's optional, but people insist it helps the cream float. Then, Irish whiskey. I prefer Bushmills, in a 3 to 1 ratio but anywhere from 2 to 4 is fine. Gently float heavy cream on top by pouring it on the the back of a spoon to layer the drink.
The proper Irish coffee will have the perfect balance of bitter coffee to sweet sugar and smooth whiskey, from warm coffee to cold cream, from the upper of caffeine to the 80 proof depressant.

The most reliable way
Get coffee. Pour in some Bushmills. Taste it. Adjust coffee or liquor amount. Repeat. You lose the Instagram-approved layering but who cares. You have a no-frills drink that can be enjoyed at literally any moment that relies on the ubiquity of coffee, one of the most popular beverages in the world. Got roped into brunch? Irish coffee! At a wedding where dessert's being brought around? Irish coffee! Been day drinking and need to rally some energy? Irish coffee! Need to blunt a hangover? Irish coffee!

Most importantly, check out this Irish coffee cup:

What did Bunny Colvin tell us? You wave around a bottle of beer at the farmer's market or at a 10 AM meeting, for some reason people will hassle you, say you have a problem or are a public nuisance. Put your liquor in the same paper bag that they all drink from.

you are playin to win

Ahhh, Fever Tree. Ive seen a couple places uses that and I forgot the name (but remember the bottle). Fever Tree I liked a bit... You like Q more? I love all things lavender too...

i liked q quite a bit, and haven't tried fever tree, though i suspect it's delicious

the lavender was an error, it was a dry soda which i mistook for tonic, sorry for the confusion

i am pretty sure though, that lavender can be infused into your gin or vodka by letting it sit anywhere from an hour up to 2 weeks, same as a lemon or orange peel

you may be able to do it with tonic too, but i am more certain you can do it in alcohol or oil

careful of the stems though, as they lead to exessive astringency
