What's in your glass tonight?

Thought I would try this here. If it doesn't get a lot of traffic, I'll continue it in my shaving "blog"

You know the difference between Irish Whiskey and Scotch Whiskey?


Irish Whiskey tastes good. 

To better days...

First offering by a local distillery

Let’s just say that regrettably, due to health concerns (recurring ulcer) I’m currently not drinking. I enjoyed all kinds of wine, beer, ales, stouts, etc., Never much of a whiskey drinker, so I’ve no depth knowledge there. But interested in knowing nonetheless, just because. Compare the Hard Truth to something else you like a lot. What are it’s strengths and weaknesses? Buy it again? Etc., etc…

Primo, you're killing it with spirits.  You're living well, sir.

In extreme moderation, my friend.

Good stuff! Even more so sitting outside beside a fire.

The flavored spirits can be dangerous because they taste so good.   I'm reminded of Fireball, which is quite inexpensive but enjoyable to drink moderately.  I don't have any of this in my inventory right now but have certainly consumed my share of it.  I think I need to get another bottle of it tomorrow.

Sunday nightcap.

All y’all are way classier than I. I’ve got a glass of cheap vodka in front of me with a healthy dose of Adoboloco Fiya! Fiya! Hot Sauce, a mix of jalapeño, Trinidad scorpion, habanero and ghost peppers. I love heat. My favorite flake mix, which I also toss into vodka, is called “I Can’t Feel My Face.” The name is apt.

The only rule is moderation.  Otherwise, a man should drink whatever he enjoys.  

Your vodka cocktails sound just fine!

Now that sounds great, except I can't tolerate the "extreme" peppers any more.

I enjoy Fireball but mostly in the fall and winter. Fall of the year, outside with a fire, add a shot to a bottle of Angry Orchard or Woodchuck hard cider. Friggin awesome! Love me some Jack Daniels Winter Jack too!

When I want to treat myself, nothing beats the "King of Cocktails"

During a 2019 trip to Greece I acquired a liking for Ouzo, the anise flavored distilled spirit.  It was my night cap this past Sunday.
