Eggnog + bourbon is a tasty dessert.

So if anyone was curious as far as what Trader Joe's ginger beer tastes like, it is SUPER gingery in the best possible way. I have the ginger beer, gin and lime right now in a glass and it almost tastes like candied ginger (which I love).

Oh that's good to know. None of the store brands I've had have been gingery enough for me. I like it to have a almost wasabi/horseradish nasal burn thing going on.

Had a habinero infused wine the other day. Sweet originally then a nice burn as you swallow. Very interesting.

Happy new year! I'll take champagne over hard liquor at every opportunity.

Oban 14 yo sm scotch with ginger beer. Very nice combo.

Will be trying the Oban w/ vanilla cream soda next.

nice! I worked for 3 days at a print company. one of the vendors had given them a bottle of Dom and they raffled it off to the employees and I won it! I tried to give it back 2 days later when I quit (went to work for their sister company, a job I was much better suited for anyway) but they wouldn't take it. I still have it.

the liquor store in the cranberry 'mall' is terrible. i would have expected the cranberry area to have one of the new fancy stores. no four roses bourbon there. thumbs down

I bought my first bottle of liquor there on my 21st birthday. It was a handle of Jack Daniels.

Shared a Johnny Blue with my father-in-law over the holiday. Good times.

So are we just not doing 'phrasing' anymore?????

there seems to be a subtle movement among some bartenders to begin to use smokey scotches (the three most recent have all had laphroaig) in combination with the rye/bourbon for manhattans. i do not enjoy this movement.

Yeah smokey whiskey/scotch IMO is not good. I don't want anything I eat to taste exactly how smoke smells.

i love the overly peaty scotches, but i appreciate the manhattan for its simplicity. dont mess up a good thing

Started the day off with some grappa... yikes!

I went to Apis down in Carnegie the other night. It's a mead bar that brews its own stuff. Their stuff was pretty good, if you're in to mead. I picked up a couple bottles. If it was cheaper, I'd drink this stuff on the regular.

Please describe the taste of mead.

Mead is an alcohol made from honey. A basic mead will be kind of like a subtly sweet white wine, but with a fuller mouth feel. They can also add spices or fruit to the brewing process, like a cranberry clove, or blueberry chai. It tends to be between 30 & 40 proof.

It's not overpoweringly sweet like a dessert wine, or anything. But it is made from honey, so you will have that flavor in there to some degree.

Can you find it in state stores?

I have a friend who's obsessed with mead so I think you can buy it here. At least in NY. Could be wrong though

I've seen it in there before. I think it runs like $10-$15 a bottle.

I made some mead with one of my brothers. It's not really drinkable (or worth drinking) for the first three years. I had it at two and five, when it had a cognac vibe. He said it was excellent at seven years.

Mead is way to sickeningly sweet for my liking. I've tried homemade as well as commercially produced, both were underwhelming.
