my gf made gimlets last night and they were v good would drink again

in summer watermelon gimlets can be super refreshing, especially if you muddle up a couple mint or even basil leaves with the fruit

in my experience the only good sours are belgian, any that are good and not belgian either have belgian involvement (ommegang pale sour) or were purely accidental

if you see Duchesse Cherry check it out of you like fruit.

T.Joe's "Kentucky Bourbon" probably lacks any sort of pedigree (I'm assuming but won't be arsed to check: whiskey snobs being literally worse than wine snobs, almost to the level of audiophiles) but it's q.deece.

I clicked on a bourbon review YouTube out of curiosity and it was hilarious, just tryhard beard dudes saying flavor words out loud all
leather
vanilla
orange peel
cranberry
wheat
etc.

Northing worse imo than someone who acts like it's stupid to try to understand and enjoy a drink on a little deeper level. It's fine if you don't enjoy whiskey that way but don't dunk on people who do.

The last thing we need is for someone to feel like it's somehow uncool or snobby to actually smell and taste their whiskey, and thereby dissuading them from deepening their enjoyment. Please don't do that.

it's possible to be an enthusiast of something without becoming a cartoon pastiche, fyi

also the two dudes said completely different flavors for the same whiskeys

if you like german beer some usa craft breweries are starting to make helles and its the loving best. don�t buy it imported, a snobby german once told me it �doesn�t travel well� and after spending like 14 bucks on a 6pack a couple years ago I agree

if you have bad cheap sparkling try putting a tiny bit of cassis or grenadine in it

is it an acceptable margarita if i use only tequila, triple sec, and rose's lime juice? (and ice)

i am not going to be squeezing limes

I use bottled lime juice all the time, it's not as good but it won't ruin it imo. that said rose's is sweetened maybe look for nellie & joe's?

if you want to upgrade your margarita use real cointreau instead of triple sec, that stuff is amazing

Fresh lime juice is clearly superior, I'll buy limes if I'm in the mood but I don't keep them around. I only drink like once a week at this point so if I get a craving for a margarita I'm not going to go out into the hellworld on a special trip to get limes. Plus I like to put a couple drops of lemon juice in a highball.

yo I know nothing about bourbons and I'm almost out of the Kirkland Signature bottle I stole from an xmas party in 2019. [tell] me about what I should buy for the 1-2 nights a week I drink these days.

bulleit is decent if you drink it with ice, I use larceny as my go to, both under $30/bottle

I have recently discovered Wild Turkey Rare Breed and I am liking it a lot.

wild turkey is like four roses in that they're definitely upmarket from where they used to be

the first time someone threatened me with a firearm was a weird gold miner hillbilly in the trinity alps with a mostly empty 750 of wild turkey in one hand and a shotgun in the other

All in all a good time. I highly recommend doing a flight of a couple of whiskies from the same distillery but from different cask types and independent bottlers. Really helps in getting your bearings on how various casks and aging influences whisky.

I picked up a 4 pack airplane bottle flight box of Glenlivet around christmas, it was a fun evening
