For all you Whiskey drinkers, here's one you have to try - a good time would be new years.

My wife is always getting me to make her slushy drinks to have in one of those fancy tall Martini glasses - I wanted something like that too, but something a bit more up my alley.

Here it is.

Whiskey Slush!!

- 1/2 gal(s) Whiskey
- 4 - Tea Bags
- 2 cup(s) Boiling Water
- 12 oz Orange Juice Concentrate
- 12 oz Lemonade Concentrate
- 8 cup(s) Cold Water
- 2 cup(s) Sugar

Directions: Boil 2 cups of water with 4 tea bags. Let steep until strong tea. Add 12 oz of orange juice concentrate, 12 oz lemonade concentrate, 1/2 gal whiskey, 8 cups cold water, and 2 cups of sugar. Add more cold water and sugar to taste. Mix well. Place whole mixture in freezer until slushey. Serve in any large cup for a great time.

It may look like this makes a lot, but if you are a steady drinker all night - you won't have much trouble polishing it off.
Can easily be had by 2 people.

Enjoy!

 

Mohito

-White rum (preferably a good Cuban rum)
-1/2 tsp sugar
-Juice of 1/2 lime
-mint - crushed stalks, leaves left to float (preferably mohito mint)
-topped off with soda or mineral water
-serve in hiball

dry white wine
scotch whiskey, neat. I cannot understand why anyone would destroy the flavour of whiskey with anything other than ice and or water.

Christmas time favourites

Rum 'n' nog
Akavit (hard alcohol that tastes something like caraway seeds)

 

I should give that a try.
I had a few ginger ale slurpee's with Crown Royal added in the summer. Those were nice.

 

Do a search in the lounge for the drink post. Tons of good drinks there. My faves would be Crown Royal, Bek Se Ju, COLD Sake, I don't mind wine, and beer is always good.

White Tiger and LIIT are my fave mixed drinks...

 

I like of bit of everything, really depends on the occassion though, and of course, not all at once.

Wine, with dinner or at a swish wine bar: Almost always red, preferably a nice Crianza from the Rioja region of Spain, or a Chilean Chianti.

Beer, at the pub or chillin at home: Preferably local brewed pale or amber ale, or Czech lagers.

Hi-ball, at the bar/club: Rye and Ginger, and that's about it.

Whisky, not Whiskey. Whiskey is Irish

But, agreed, a good single malt should not be ruined with anything. Although some malts react well to a small dash if water (no more than a few drops), helps to losen the flavour. I tend to drink Bowmore or Glenmorangie, although I can't ever say no to a nice 18 year Macallan.

That's about all I drink.

 

eep! Thanks for the correction. I HATE misspelling words.

 

COSMOPOLITAN.


...Or 2oz Smirnoff over ice and a lime

 

Hellz yeah! Cosmo, how could I forget... Smirnoff Orange Twist is good (Raspberry sucks).

 

a nice frosty MGD....or rickards red....

 

Sleeman's or Rickard's Red for beer,

Rum / Crown and Coke

 

good call andy...good call

 

Oh my god. That amount of whiskey between to people is asking for trouble. Did you know over 40,000 russian people die of alcohol poisening every year? What a killer drink. I heard about this russian vodka drinking contest and the guy that won dropped dead 15 minutes later. I guess Matt is immune.

 

You are correct.

Still do-able over the period of an afternoon/evening.
