Some ice cold Hendrick’s gin.
You wouldn’t think that cucumber and rose would work together but it does.

I'm about to go for #2....GIDDY UP lads and lassies!!!!
I'm pretending it's actually spring outside. Casamigos Anejo Tequila
My Friday so I'll pair some birds. Uno in a Savinelli Roma Lucite 673 and Rare Breed.
Moscow mules for me and wifey, with Stoli vodka and "Q" brand ginger beer mixer. Roast chicken w/vegetables for dinner tonight, so going to pair it with Grifone organic Pinot Grigio from Trader Joe's. This is a very smooth, affordable white table wine, goes great with poultry, fish, or vegetarian dinners.
Sounds heavenly
Casa Amigos, squeeze half an orange, big cube (drop orange in). Fantastic. No fake margarita mix, Not too sweet.
Earlier, I had a Ballnelan Caribbean Cask whisky. Not as sweet or refined as Balvenie 14, but not as expensive.
We hosted a bourbon tasting at our house last night. The bottles above are what was selected from my collection to taste. One guy brought a Old Rip Van Winkle and a 2020 George T. Stagg. Another brought a collection of 8 Bookers and a E. H. Taylor barrel proof. We had one friend who is just starting his bourbon journey, so we started him off with the Blanton’s, since most of what was offered was barrel proof.
The George T. Stagg “won” the night, with the Alberta Premium Cask Strength Rye the surprising runner-up. A good time was most definitely had by all. Cheers!
Old RVW? My heart! I once had 25 year old at a bar in Louisville, and I fell in love!
I can certainly relate to the love. It’s fantastic! It’s been a couple of years since I’ve had a pour (RVW), but it’s as good as I remember it being. Cheers!
Drinking the last pour of Smooth Ambler Old Scout while playing around with the bluesy Pink Panther theme on my daughter's First Act guitar. I'm a Tab man, lol.
Costco Irish. I’m on a budget. Tastes good. Gives me my Celtic buzz. What’s not to like?
I typically like your style. And the cost-effective booze gets you to the same destination, no different than the cargo ticket on a n ocean liner.
My poison of choice is typically Canada House whiskey or Ezra Brooks bourbon, which are economically friendly, decent mixers, and surprisingly legit with some ice cubes and a splash of water.
Ezra Brooks is king of low cost bourbon. I'd be interested in an aficionado giving their thoughts.
Yeah, I ‘m traveling steerage. I’ll checkout Ezra Brooks. My go to bourbon is usually Evan Williams cause it’s in the grocery store.
Some of the forum’s drinkers have more elevated tastes than mine, same with their pipes and tobaccos. I’m mostly a regular guy who likes a smoke and a tipple.
Thanks for responding!
Bulleit Rye on a rock, with a Chateau Fuente King T.
It's usually Wild Turkey 101, Jim Beam, or Evan Williams Bottled-In-Bond for me. I will venture out and try new things when there is a sale, but I have found the previous three mentioned (and Ezra Brooks) to be just as good or better than more expensive brands. I also grew up on Jack Daniels, Canadian Mist, and Windsor... which in my subjective opinion are good and affordable. I'm not an afficionado, but I felt compelled in my drunken haze.lol
Canadian Club whiskey started in Detroit. The distillery moved to Canada when prohibition began and was the leading whiskey smuggled by Capone and the Purple Gang.

I have a History Channel documentary on dvd on the subject. It's been forever since I've watched it, but it delves into whiskey/whisky, bourbon, scotch whisky, Irish whiskey, and what seperates and distinguishes them from one another. It touches on the history of prohibition and speakeasys. Some of the stuff they were concocting back then could kill you when you drank it.
