Just poured another bourbon and soda. What's everyone drinking tonight?

[Patton French]

1. My old standby

Vodka and cranberry with a lime. I hate stress!!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

9. Me too! Though no lime ...

Definitely a standby

[Patton French]

14. Dude!

And I know you get that! 😊. Definitely try the line.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

21. Oh, I've HAD it with lime, I'm not anti-lime!

I just don't HAVE any lime

And I felt like I was on Seinfeld when I said that ...

[FoxNewsSucks]

26. That's good,

and one of my favorites is the Ocean Spray cranberry juice with lime and a big pour of cherry-flavored vodka. 360 Vodka is a local distillery here that has a good cherry vodka.

[Shellback Squid]

2. Is it tuesday?

wednesday, thursday friday, saturday,sunday, monday?

Then, yes

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

3. Straight vodka

Chilled of course but I'm just sipping.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. What kind?

[In It to Win It]

4. An American classic...

Apple juice

[Polybius]

5. Bourbon and Pepsi Zero

So similar lol!

[elleng]

6. WISH I could drink, but

my taste buds don't work so can't handle ANYTHING. DAMN!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

10. What? What do you mean your taste buds don't work?

You love good food!

[elleng]

24. I would love to love it MORE, it's mostly MEMORIES that I love.

NOTHING tastes good, can't even enjoy coffee. Saw a doc/dentist last week, hoping tests of my saliva etc. give hints on a solution.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. Wow have never heard of that. Hope they have a solution

for you!!! Sounds so much like lost of taste with covid. But you make it sound like it's been a long time since this started happening.

Hope this isn't too sad a story for you but my 24 yo niece ( masked up and vaccinated got covid). She told me that she has always disliked coffee. But wanted so bad to like it and drink it like everyone else. So when she had covid and lost her taste she drank it three times a day. And it worked -- she's over covid, got her smell and taste back, and now likes coffee

[elleng]

43. GREAT story, about coffee!

Mine's, a few years old, not LOST taste, but 'change' so nothing tastes good.

[dweller]

20. You are vaxxed, right ?

don’t need you with covid

✌🏻

[elleng]

22. YES vaxxed; this started years ago,

well before covid.

Thanks.

[MustLoveBeagles]

7. Jim Beam Honey Whiskey w/Pepsi Zero

[OAITW r.2.0]

11. Managed (2) Gin Bloody Marys and (1) small bottle of CabSav.

Ginger Ale now. Amazingly sober.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

15. Gin Bloodies? That just sounds weird ...

You saying I should try it for the first time ever?

[OAITW r.2.0]

23. If I were your lawyer - and I am not-

I would counsel you to try at least one. Possibly two. And then report back. Personally speaking, I think Gin makes a better Bloody mix than Vodka. Your tastes may vary, however.

[FoxNewsSucks]

27. I agree,

The first time I ever had a BM made with gin was at an Argentinian restaurant. I got there before the people I was meeting, so went to the bar. It was on the menu, never seen it before, so tried it and it was great. I've made it with both at home, it's definitely under-appreciated.

[Retrograde]

36. Same here

the herbal notes in the gin go well with the tomatoes in the bloody Mary mix.

But then, I drink Trader Joe's Bloody Mary mix straight, maybe diluted with a little water.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

38. Interesting. Well I am not averse to trying new things, and I have a fresh bottle of Zing-Zang

which is the best mass-market BM mix (well, at least in the West) hands-down and don't try to tell me different ... so my next Bloody will be ... Zing-Zang GIN!

[OAITW r.2.0]

47. Pro tip Hugh.

Tall tumblar, 3 ice cubes.

1.5-2.0 Gin (Bombay is good) 3 parts V-8, 1 part favorite mix. Add liberal dashes of L&P, lime juice. Some celery /onion/ garlic salt (a shake or 2). Stir - enjoy.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

48. So, sounds like we want very little pepper/horseradish notes, which makes sense

I shall try your concoction, good sir!

Also, I won't even drink a Bloody without copious celery garnish (which I eat).

[OAITW r.2.0]

51. Celery salt is a great compliment to the BM,,,,do not skimp!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

52. Oh, I never would ... I have a bottle of great quality Celery Salt for PRECISELY this occasion :) nt

[NJCher]

12. pineapple-mango kombucha

over ice in a wine goblet.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

13. As an aside re: the above posts, Pepsi is wrong, always (nt)

[MustLoveBeagles]

25. It's all I had

I was desperate!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

33. Okay, okay ... just take it easy, man ...

We'll get through this together

[MustLoveBeagles]

35. LOL

We're good

[dweller]

16. Plonk

whatever bang for the $


✌🏻

[sdfernando]

17. A nice Merlot

But I wish I had something stronger.

[Mr.Bill]

18. Usually I drink Jim Beam on the rocks.

But tonight I'm having California Iced Tea.

4 oz Iced Tea

1 oz Lemon Juice

1oz Simple Syrup

2 oz Bourbon

Over ice in a tumbler.

[Retrograde]

37. Was your mother a hamster? (N/t)

[Hugh_Lebowski]

40. Yes! And her name was Zoot!

Wicked, evil, naughty Zoot!

[MontanaMama]

41. I knew some wise guy

would check in with that…and here you are!

[Hugh_Lebowski]

42. Did you ever have any serious doubt that it would, in fact, be me?

Seems like a bit of a given, but ... ya know ... I'm a bit self-important so my judgment can be skewed.

mama

[MontanaMama]

45. Let's just say you were at the top

of my list of suspects. I’ll allow any Monty Python joke at my expense, however.

Off topic…but speaking of the name Hugh…my 16 year old son joined the NextDoor app for my neighborhood with the name Hugh Janus. So far he has not been removed by the admins…I can hardly read his posts without having a full blown asthma attack from laughing. Its like people know but they’re afraid to say anything. It’s so damned funny.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

46. Fair enough, I'll settle for 'prime suspect' status on this account ...

Also let me just say I wholeheartedly endorse your parenting skills

[MontanaFarmer]

32. Suntory neat.

Celebrating the world series and drowning this fucked up country.

[ForgedCrank]

44. I'm not drinking anything, well, not yet.

But I'm about to get desperate and start digging to see what I have.
I'm in a foul mood now for some reason.

[MerryBlooms]

49. Today is my Friday. Merlot for me tonight.

I get to sleep in tomorrow! I havve classes in the afternoon. Boo.

[aurora the great]

53. In the word of George Thorogood

1 Bourbon, 1 Scotch and 1 Beer

Okay honestly, Proseco sparkling wine. Its like champagne , but not . For those time when you feel like celebrating but your not quite sure why.

Stay thirsty, my friends

[FuzzyRabbit]

54. Root beer!

Henry Weinhardt root beer.
