Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

[Aristus]

Two shots to get the party started. Now a San Francisco Cocktail. Sloe gin, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, and a dash of of bitters. Yummy! Fruity, without being too sweet.

My first ever cocktail with sloe gin.

I love you all…

4. Nothing like a good Beaujolais for a pleasant evening's sippin'.

5. Need advice for when this is over.

Okay,so here's the deal:

- I'm a Navy vet who has been stone cold sober for 31 years.
- Another DU member, is a Marine vet who had his last drink in 1968.

He and I have an agreement to celebrate the end of this nightmare with a toast, and it will be scotch on the rocks. I'm thinking you might be able to suggest an appropriate scotch for the occasion.

6. My favorite scotch of all time is Lagavulin, an Islay single malt.

It’s incredible. Smooth, peaty, complex. When you crack the seal and open the bottle, it smells like a campfire. Instead of ice, pour it over chilled whiskey stones. That way, it won’t dilute. Then add a few drops of water to release the complex flavor profile.

Then sip and enjoy.

7. Many thanks, sounds perfect for the celebration we have in mind.

8. I've got a bottle of Taittinger's in the fridge waiting for The Day.

May it be very soon.

I will post a celebratory drinking thread in the Lounge, and hope everyone shows up.
