What are you having to drink, fellow rolls?

I went out for dinner tonight and had a few different drinks: a cocktail called Chuck Norris which was bourbon, ginger and lemon; two different drinks in a jar; one spiced rum, pineapple, lime and ginger ale, and the other bourbon, orange, cinnamon and ginger ale. Finished off with some sake. Delicious times all round.

If you have both on hand, try putting a shot of Campari into a pint of light beer with a squeeze of lime. Surprisingly great.

Yeah sure. You need some kind of coffee sack or bag made from cheese cloth material that will hold the coffee grounds and a pitcher/container. Well, you can also soak the coffee grounds directly in water, but then you need to go through the hassle of straining it afterward. Coarse ground coffee is the ideal for cold brew, but I think regular works too. I use a 1:4 ratio of coffee grounds to water. So for 1 cup of coffee, you use 4 cups of water. You let the coffee soak in the water for 24 hours refrigerated. Afterward, remove the coffee sack and that's it, easy cold brew coffee concentrate to last you the whole week. Generally you dilute this 1:1 with water when you actually make something to drink. Some people go 1:1 with hot water to drink it hot, but that seems off to me so I've never done it.

I bought some Mead from a local(ish) brewery last week, and ive been sipping on it since. The only distinction this type has is that its brewed with beer yeast (whatever that means). It honestly tastes a lot like wine, which im not much of a fan off, but smoother and sweeter. Its really sweet at first, but on the swallow you get a lot of the yeasty-beer flavor.

I love mead. Is it sweet or dry? I've had meads that are on both ends of the extreme, from almost no sweetness at all to sweet like a port wine. But I think I prefer somewhere in the middle

It doesn't look like this has any but apparently chamomile isn't a proper tea by the traditional definition, and can help aid in getting good sleep, and just knocking you out in general.

Can find some really nice stuff when you explore different places and drinks. As a kid I remember rhubarb was really sour, and you had to sweeten it with sugar, but the rhubarb flavored tonics and ciders that I've had have been really sweet.

Wanted to make a flaming hot toddy, but I didn't have whisky on hand, so I used Bacardi 151. 0/10, would absolutely recommend. Very warming, very sharp. If you like not enjoying your drink at all, try it out. Let it burn, though, you're going to need that alcohol weakened.

I got a bottle of this recently on recommendation from the guy at the store since my usual rye whiskey was out. It's pretty good! The vanilla makes it smell really nice but it's not too sweet or too overpowering in terms of the actual taste. It makes a tasty Manhattan too! I think the vanilla is really good there.

Got some whisky to introduce the new year with some sipping. Loch Lomond Peated and Macleods Islay. I'm not very good at picking out notes and such, but they're both quite good and right up my alley. Happy I got lucky since I haven't had either before.
The Lomond has some dried apricot notes maybe along with the peat for some interesting interplay, quite approachable and yummy, while the Macleods is more smoke focused, maybe some shoreline? Reminded me of Ileach except good, found that one to have some kind of weird gritty muddy quality to the taste I didn't enjoy.

It's wintertime-whisky-sushi, back at you again. Tis the season for some sippin.
Got an Islay Mist, and a regular Loch Lomond, both new to me.
Only opened the Islay Mist so far, first better blend I've had. Only dabbled in the cheaper end of single malts before because of bad experience with the super cheap budget whiskey blends I tried during my early drinking career.
Supposedly there's Laphroaig in this? Haven't gotten around to trying that anyway.
To me, this tastes like a tamed and subdued version of Talisker, maybe more towards the Skye version (been years since I had any of them). Rounder, less complex. Less interesting. Still tasty, very drinkable. Goes well with a book.
