HAPPY to hear Rachel keeps Bonded Rye in her office, as

[elleng]

Canadian Club was Dad's fave!

[malaise]

1. LOL - never acquired the taste

[elleng]

2. Neither did I, but better than SCOTCH, fer sure!

Kahlua, tho, is ANOTHER thing entirely!

[Tomconroy]

3. Scotch was my poison for far too long.

I managed to save myself by late in life switching to martinis. Gin not vodka. Stirred not shaken. James Bond didn't know what he was talking about.

[elleng]

4. I heard that, about stirred not shaken, or vice versa,

on The West Wing!

[Mr.Bill]

6. When you shake a Gin Martitni,

the Gin will appear cloudy. That is because the shaking will put microscopic bubbles in the Gin. This alters the taste and not in a good way. In James Bond's defense, he was drinking Vodka Martinis. It's okay to shake that jewelry cleaner if you want to.

[elleng]

12. AHA, I can see clearly now!

[Mme. Defarge]

16. Bruises the gin.

🍸🍸

[Mr.Bill]

18. Exactly.

That is the term.

[electric_blue68]

5. Oh, Kahlua! 💖 I pour some over ice cream!

[elleng]

8. YES, and I mixed it with club soda and ice.

[electric_blue68]

14. I can only have a small bit of liquor, a bit more of wine..

(contra indicated for meds in a enough to give you buzz)

Not a fan of seltzer water myself.

But when I could drink it was - pina coladas, black, or white russians, champagne, white or rose wine, didn't find
bourbon (I hate whiskey, scotch) till after. I've had Hagan Daz's vanilla with chocolate truffles, and bourbon! Oh yum.

And there was a club in have had a "Milk & Cookies" -
Milk, Kahlua, and Oreos! 😁 ❤️ Loved it.

[elleng]

24. My taste revolts against ALL of it,

never liked liquor, SOME wines ok, black russians were a fave, AND vodka gimlet for summer drink.

May try Haagen Daz vanilla with truffles.

[electric_blue68]

28. I hear you...

NO whiskey, scotch, vermouth, vodka alone, tequila etc for me. All taste related.
I'm not sure I ever had rum.

I can drink some red wine, but I like it dry.

Yes, you should try and find that particular Hagan Daz!😁

If you find it at some tell me if you liked it. 👍

[elleng]

30. Going to grocery tomorrow!

[electric_blue68]

31. Ah Ha! Good Luck! 👍😁

[malaise]

10. Ha- I was a Scotch drinker in my younger days - so much so that

my brother used to jokingly call me 'and water' (or coconut water) - my chasers of choice.

[TheBlackAdder]

27. I drink Johnny Walker Black Scotch Whisky, it's one of the best alcohols for Keto and your liver.

[malaise]

34. Yep that was it

JWB as we called it back then - now when I drink, it's Red Stripe or Blue Nun

[SheilaAnn]

35. Here's to Dewars!!! Fond memories. n/t

[Celerity]

23. The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 year old single malt

but better than SCOTCH, fer sure!

that dram, I wager, could very likely change your mind

25. Interesting!

[Celerity]

26. my wife and I are serious single malt girls, I have posted (in the Lounge) many reccos in the past

skål

[grumpyduck]

32. Love single malt!

[electric_blue68]

7. You know she's a mixologist. 😁

[elleng]

9. Yes, miss her Friday night bartender block!

[Mr.Bill]

13. Me, too.

My favorite one was the Champaign Cocktail. (not to drink, just Rachel's presentation) When she said one of the ingredients you need is confectioner's sugar, she said some people think you can make this drink with regular sugar, and those people are wrong.

[electric_blue68]

15. I can hear that in her voice. 😄

17. Was that on her MSNBC show? I used to hear her do this on ❤️ Air America Radio.

[elleng]

19. Yes it was, on MSNBC, early I guess,

but a regular feature for a while.

[electric_blue68]

21. Before all the news was just too grim.

Good old Canadian Club, otherwise.

Boycott Bourbon until Kentucky ditches Mitch !
