A wise man would lay odds in Vegas on me posting an "ask me anything!" thread before midnight.
Just another amateur drinkers day to me.
I have work to do, and I can make margaritas year round. Fuck Mexico.
I wish today was sunny and just warm enough instead of yesterday.
I wish we were in Denver for the Cinco de Mayo celebration there.
Apparently, I'll be celebrating my doing my level best to shove a sword through Richter. :wink:
A wise person would bet on my coming home with the lion's share of the bruises, though.
No you're not. There's no practice.
Enzo has a function. Practice was cancelled.
First I'd heard of it. :|
Hah. Does this increase or decrease my shot at finding a bottle of decent whiskey, as Payne has commanded?
Yes. Look for the whiskey labelled "mezcal".
They aren't doing the street celebration here until Saturday..... We go, because the food is fucking awesome!!!
I HAS NO ALCOHOL IN THE HOUSE. :x
**waits for the 'ask me anything thread'**
i've had one beer and i'm ready to sleep :lulz: I AM SO MUCH FUN THESE DAYS.
I've had wine and THREE cigarettes! I would have more wine but the store is like three blocks away and the bar is five and I don't feel up for either.
1. Last night, I found a new favorite drink, the Negroni (equal parts gin, campari, and sweet vermouth).
2. This morning, I hate the world.

The sugar in the Campari did that. That shit doesn't fuck around.
I had a couple of beers at band practice with Pat, but that was about it.

Christ, just add in a splash of Pimms and you'll have most of the really disgusting alcohols represented in one glass. :lulz:
I know, right? It's like the trifecta of Old People's drinks. Sweet, bitter, smells like juniper and fermented fruit...
But goddamn, it's awesome.
Well, I'll have to try it. Is it better with a gin that's heavy on juniper or one where it's almost unnoticeable?
The best bartender I know in Boston actually uses Beefeater. I suppose when you add the vermouth and campari, any subtlety from the gin gets lost.
The "secret", if you want to call it that, is only using 1:1:1 proportions. And you can add a twist of orange peel, if you're feeling fancy.
SCIENCE shows that it's best on a hot day, with a low to medium amount of humidity.
*gags at LMNO's discovery, but now has to try for SCIENCE*
I had a disgusting Rose (it was cheap, and no it wasn't your usual "pink wine" sweet gaggy nasty shit but instead a drier version of what I usually like just not fruity enough, I like my Rose's fruity but off-dry) that I added splashes of cherry sake to. I woke up fine. Just scratchy throat from the lovely Santa Anas that only just stopped yesterday.
Cinco de Maio didn't really have an impact yesterday. That'll be Sunday--we're doing tacos for Mother's Day instead of the usual white-people's-brunch.
