*** What Are You Drinking?*** December 2021

[Scottishgaucho]

Been doing a couple of jobs for the missus in 31c heat. Time for a beer or fourteen. ;-)

Mostly Iced tea and coffee. I quit drinking over a week ago. It was creeping up on me and my wife and friends gently informed me that it was affecting my normally easy going temperament. I trust them more than my addled brain.

Oaxaca light roast coffee (Mexico), paired with C&D Adagio. To you burley guys who rave about pairing burleys with coffee...I totally get it!! It's brilliant. ??

Beefeater Martinis tonight as we dive into our annual watching of The Thin Man. We’re a little behind this year.
We should expect roughly six — and it’ll be the sixth Martini that hits you.
Enjoy the evening all.

Martini time. Happy holidays all.

With my Big'n'Burley in a Perry freehand pocket pipe in cocobolo, I am slurping the dregs of a Coca-Cola in a paper cup I bought with a take-out lunch. My wife is a Coke loyalist, so I always go to a separate place to get her Coke instead of Pepsi. We don't keep colas at home, but do them as a guilty pleasure with take-out. They are a fine upper for a drowsy afternoon.

Some Argentine rum with a wonderful tasting Argentine cigar.

[EssJaySea]

So this one is a bit embarrassing but it turned out so good I’ll share. My wife and I were prepping figgy pudding last night (it is about halfway through its steam now) and we had half an orange left so I wondered what I could do with it.

Maple bourbon smash. Went light on the maple syrup and it was a very festive change of pace. Will probably have another or two tonight before Prosecco with a sweet baked salmon meal.

merry Christmas all!

 

[TheIronMonkey]

Macallan 12

 

[Servant King]

To start with this evening: Grifone, an organic white table wine available at Trader Joe's for less than $5 per bottle. Moved on to another organic TJs find, Green Fin, this one a red. Paired perfectly with our Xmas eve dinner of roasted rosemary lemon chicken w/potatoes & carrots. If it weren't 29 degrees outside, I'd probably finish the night off with a bowl of John Bull Royal English. C'est la vie.

Merry Christmas everyone, for the umpteenth time! ?

(and Shabbat Shalom!)

Growing up, I considered coffee an adult drink and enjoyed it black or as a cappuccino (and still do).

Then beer and liquor were considered adult drinks and I infused my own alcohol while enjoying craft beer and got into bourbons.

As I get older (and I'm just pushing 40), I'm realizing that water is the adult beverage. I still imbibe and enjoy it, but water makes me feel healthier when drinking it.

Then again, I run on nicotine and caffeine (and sometimes hatred ... just kidding, well, maybe) so water tends to replenish what I abuse throughout the day.

Enjoying a small glass of my 10.5% Russian imperial stout before putting a ham on the big green egg. Merry Christmas all.
