I have about 1/5 of a bottle of vodka left over (what's a fifth by the way? not 1/5 the other thing). What should I mix it with? Where do I get glasses and shot glasses and stuff? I tried the liquor store but they don't have glasses and poo poo. Also, what else can I make with something besides vodka? How does rum, jaegermeister, etc. work?

Any recommendations for hot/warm cocktails? It's getting cold here and I'd like to try making something that'd warm me up instead of cool me down. The simpler the better, though I have some leeway in making stuff.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys! Gonna try making a hot toddy. Guess I'm picking up some rum tonight. And maybe next I go to the supermarket, I'll get ingredients for the drambuie and hot cider.  Edit: Ended up grabbing a nip of Jameson's, brewing some hot water, warming a coffee mug, and putting together 1/2 cup hot water, 1 nip of Jamesons, 2 tsp of sugar, a splash of lemon juice, and a squeeze of maple syrup. I like it!!! Next time I might add more lemon juice and stew some cloves and cinnamon in it. Pollyanna fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Dec 6, 2017 |

Picked up some calvados (Menorval Tres Vieux XO) during my most recent run to Kappy's and I don't think I can down it straight up. I could always use it in a hot toddy, but it seems like a bit of a waste. Is there a particularly good cocktail to use it in, or should I soldier on and learn to like it neat?

Comb Your Beard posted:Give it some ice. If it's on the sweeter side hit it with a single dash of Ango. Or fashion more of a brandy old fashioned with your choice of sweetener and bitters. Love me some Calvados. Ooh, that last one sounds pretty good. Once I have a minibar built up, I might just go for that. Right now I've been cutting it with some umeshu (since the latter has a great taste but is lower in alcohol and very sweet) and I got plans to put it in coffee tomorrow. I still don't quite understand the use of bitters, but I'm a piece of poo poo who likes everything to be extremely sweet, so...

goferchan posted:Bitters are great in sweet drinks, grab some and start throwing them in stuff to see what sticks. Think of them like adding salt to food -- even if you can't taste the bitters themselves in small amount, they'll add extra complexity to a drink and bring out other flavors Ohhh, I see. Okay, that makes sense. Maybe I'll pick some up next I'm at the store. What kinds are recommended? Apparently Jaegermeister is considered digestive bitters? Weird.

Picked up some Angostura + Fee Brothers Orange bitters, might just try this out when I get a chance.
