Just mixed a Sidecar and damn it's good. I'm working my way through all the classic cocktails.
Jack Daniels Honey. Rocks.
Other than the occasional IPA, it's my favorite drink with a pipe. Along with a Spanish liqeur called quarenta y tres. Yum.
Sothron that JD Honey is great. Tonite my nightcap is Tito's Vodka with V8 cranberry-blackberry on the rocks.
Mohan's American Blended Whiskey on the rocks. It's a cheap local bottle sold by a local liquor store of the same name. Reminds me of Fleischman's... yeah, yeah, cheap, I know. But good golly I'm addicted! No apologies.
Tonight is Crown Royal Maple. The ABC guy talked me into it and well, you have to like maple to be sure. I will dump it and maybe give the bottle away.
Now down to the Whisky vault to see what I have.
OK pitched the Maple. Cracked a Fighting Cock. Not bad at all. Slightly sweet, toasted marshmallow, caramel and a bit of a bite, think of a lighter Booker's. It is 103 proof and from Heaven Hill so not bad at all. Going to buy a big bottle. Drip of branch and 4 cubes.
Boring ice tea.....again.

Coke Zero...always.
Homemade Lemoncello, little shot, took 95 days to make, used Everclear, it will knock you on your ass, strong lemon taste at first, then fire in your throat and belly WHEW! Damn it's good but an old man can"t see straight after 2 shots, The old cajun
Remy Martin XO cognac.
Unfortunately, it's not Louis XVI, but then, I'm not Bill Gates.
A few years ago, while waiting for a flight from Ben-Gurion Airport, I visited the humidor in the James Richardon Duty Free shop and bought 5 boxes of Cuban Cigars. I was invited into their smoking lounge, was brought a bottle of Louis XVI and told I could have two shots. I told them that for the money I had spent, they could leave the bottle, which they did. I knocked off a third of it, and was a VERY happy flier that day...
Lagunitas Sucks. Brown Shugga Substitute Ale. Pretty damn delicious.
Johnny Walker red
Sassafras tea, with a little rum.
@ tbradsim Another limoncello fan! Isn't that stuff the best? Looks like bottled sunshine, tastes like homemade lemon pie filling and will bite you like a mean dog if you're not careful! I make quite a few bottles for summer and they usually claim a victim or two. You're right about the burn too but it is so good!
Right at the moment, I'm sipping a really nice Pinot Grigio from Northern California and smoking a bowl of Peterson's Irish Whiskey.The wine isn't up to this delicious tobacco and is more a palate cleanser than anything else.

Were it me, I'd rather be drinking a bowl (or bucket) of Irish Whiskey and smoking some fancy tobacco who's name I can't pronounce but starts with a P and a G. You wine snob you
Joking aside, I like a decent quality red wine, but the boxes are just so damned hard to open, I try and stick to hard liquor. Comes in a bottle and the corks pop out easy
Evan Williams on a rock
Canadian Club Manhattan using Martini & Rossi (sweet) Vermouth (the best), on the rocks, with a side of Captain Bob's Blend in a Hayes Original made for me.

Ice tea.....boring
@ mikephillips Yeah I hear you! Not much of a wine drinker but the gal was over the other night and I wanted a bottle of the good stuff for her. She had one glass and its been sitting in the fridge for 3 days (and I'm too cheap to let booze go to waste) so I'm finishing up the bottle. It IS a pretty good palate cleanser too so this bowl o Irish Whiskey is tasting pretty good!
I had a rum and coke after my pipe earlier. Used goslings black seal rum. That stuff mixes so good with coke... I should try it with the holiday spirit from mcllealand.
Tonight is Jefferson's Reserve, 18 YO. Oh my this is really nice. Green apple, spice, caramel very smooth and finishes with a bite. Cubes and a bit of branch but would do neat.
Tonight is Four Roses small batch. Very smooth, round with a sweetness up front. Caramel, sugar and a bit of bite in the end. Very nice with a little branch and 4 cubes. I'll keep this one.
Tonight WAS Ice cold PBR at my favorite watering hole, now time for a bowl of Sugar Barrel and nitey nite.

I usually have a huge cup of tea with just sugar when smoking. This week I am trying Typhoo tea, after a sister in law from England said she prefers it to PG Tips.
I like PG Tips better than Typhoo, but there are others that I like even more.
So now I find myself "cellaring" tea!
Molson Canadian...I didn't realize there were other options.
Tea in a new fangled aluminum perforated stick you swirl in hot water, good shit. The old cajun
A little of this and a little of that...

Costco brand citrus green tea (diet)...boring also.
A couple fingers of Asbach Uralt tonight, paired with Black House.
Last night, rum and Coke. This morning, plenty of water.

Shenley's ofc, it's become my favourite Canadian whisky and one of the cheapest too, alot like bourbon from the high corn content
Cream Ale from my smallest brewery and the one I like to brew at the most. Light straw/gold color with low bitterness and very few esters. Just a nice light ale that is complementing the SG FVF that I'm smoking right now. Right at this particular moment, life is very very good.
Old Charter and Sundrop. Lets say its a family tradition. RIP Pawpaw
Laddie Ten, plus escudo
New Belgium Abbey tonight. Cheers!
Black French coffee and tonight probably Soave
johnnie walker double black
Yesterday it was Makers 46, not bad but it was just a more expensive Makers Mark. Not worth the extra bucks, get MM $10 cheaper.
Tonight it is Old Weller Antique. Very nice, 1/2 branch as it is 107 proof with 8 cubes. This is heady caramel sweet spicy and marshmallow good. Of course it is Buffalo Trace so you know it is good. you could do this straight up but watch the after burn!
Depends.
Early morning: Coffee
Hot day: Either a cold homebrew or Sparkling Water w/ Lime
Evening: An Old Fashioned
Tonight is Abraham Bowman Limited Bourbon. This small batch 100 proof reminds me of the old A Smith Bowman's Fairfax County Bourbon, which was the whiskey of the US congress for many years. At first this new bourbon held up to branch but not to the cubes. It fell apart so not as many cubes next time. I found it sweet at first with honey, vanilla and caramel and finished sharp, no doubt to the higher proof. Overall good.
1986 Soave Bolla... Among the bottles found when dad passed last March. He stored it right and it's pretty good... good enough to finish it all, me thinks!
Dogfish Head Palo Santo Marron! God's gift to beer.
Bird Dog Blackberry Whiskey. It's not fancy and anything a purist would consider purchasing, but it's pretty damn tasty and get's the job done. It also makes me wish for October grouse hunting.
Nothing right now, but recently (it's March and rainy) Marsala Tea from Nepal, a gift from
someone recently back.
I think the one blend I couldn't be without is Gawith Hoggarth Sweet Rum Twist
"Traditional full bodied tobacco, hand-spun in to rope form. Can be enjoyed either as a chewing tobacco or pared with a knife for the pipe. A full flavoured, cool smoke. This sweet twist benefits from the addition of Rum."
A Manhattan made with Russel's Reserve and a twist of blood orange. Just put two more tins in the cellar. Life is good
Canadian Club Manhattan on the rocks with Martini Rossi Sweet Vermouth and hot garlic pickled mushrooms! With a side of Captain Bob's Blend.

Southern Comfort with frozen fruit punch ice cubes. Very tasty
Dirty,Dusty Martini up w/4 olives
Most of my smoking this time of year is while on the computer with a big cup of tea with a little sugar. PG Tips, Typhoo or Mighty Leaf, usually. Tonight it's Typhoo.
Cheap disgusting beer, but its 7%.

Well, 1 out of 3 ain't bad, I guess
I had a buddy I served with who'd buy a 12 pack of Pabst and a bottle of everclear, and would drop about a half ounce of everclear in every can as he drank it. He could usually make it through 5 or 6 beers before plowing the rug with his face and then of course we'd strip off his shirt and draw Kilroy cartoons all over him, from beltline to eyebrows. I don't know why that never seemed to get old.
Anyway, for some reason your "cheap, disgusting 7%" beer reminded me of Stinky (his name was actually Stengel, but he liked mexican food quite a bit)
Tea. Earl Grey. Hot.
Whiskers Blake Tawny, a great value from down under.
Maker's Mark 46 two cubes...
Buffalo Trace on the Rocks
Johnny Walker straight up.
The very last can of the horrible disgusting cheap beer I bought.
