Bartesian drinking
 

These things are advertised on the radio constantly. It takes your alcohol and adds dehydrated mixers, like a keurig cocktail maker. Anyone see one at a party or get one? They clearly have a large advertising budget.

Another thread that has nothing to do with statistics. :(

When it comes to cocktails, Lois Lane is more interesting than I. For me...scotch and a splash of water.

Sorry Shaun. Back to your regularly scheduled programming......

They're cute - but best enjoyed at someone else's house. With someone else's booze.

This trinket is solving a problem that doesn't exist.

That said, there is some awkward "charm" in those old powdered drink mixers from 50+ years ago. Like a gin "fizz" or a whisky "sour". Just a few envelopes of that magic can make the old "briefcase/liquor chest" travel set really sing, particularly if it's poolside at the Howard Johnsons. Perhaps this DRM-enabled overcomplicated ****-crap will be cool someday for our grandkids?

Nearly any drink astes great after two or three of them.

Well put. Loved fried clams at Howard Johnson's when I was a kid. Great memories.

I wish I could drink 2-3. Summer is all about gin & tonics with Bombay Sapphire, go through a 1L bottle at the most from May through September. One and I'm done, but they taste so good always want another. Same with Sidecars in the fall.

100% no. Buy your own ingredients and learn to make a few classic cocktails yourself. This is an appliance that you'll likely use a few times, only for its novelty, then commit to the "storage cabinet".

Just my .02.

I cant drink at all anymore. My problem was always if one is good, two was better, and 5 or 6 just about perfect.:) So no more. Don't really miss it either.

WTF?
Does it rim the glass for you? That's most of the work.
Now you need to clean the thing.
Get off my lawn! :D

Similar to a cocktail robot a few coworkers built. This was probably circa 2014 and was controlled by an iPad. Had mixers and booze and a nice UI. Made for some fun cocktail hours at work.

^^^ that is pretty impressive!

Freshman year of college, there was a guy who stayed in his dorm room, drank vodka mixed with pre-sweetened Kool-Aid. He didn't come back for sophomore year.
I guess he was ahead of his time.

I am sure she is, no doubt, but I am unclear on statistics.

I am still in search of the perfect Old Fashioned. Now and again they are amazing. Many times, not. At least I have G&Ts and Sidecars perfected.

You should ask Lois to make you a Penicillin: blended scotch, fresh lemon juice, honey ginger syrup (or honey and muddled ginger), top with an Islay single malt. I'm looking forward to getting some scotch.

There are variations.

I would suggest a tour of Wisconsin Supper Clubs, until you find the one you like. If you can't make it to Wisconsin, here you go.

I think the act of making a proper cocktail is almost as enjoyable as the cocktail itself….I enjoy the process (and the drinking!) so the above contraption is not attractive to me at all.

Thanks, I've watched a ton of videos and tried different techniques, flaming the orange peel always creates a great cocktail. But I'm not consistent, that's the issue. Another month or so I can pick up another bottle of Woodford's Double Oaked.

I think I’ll try an old fashion. What did the guy in the video say about squirrels? I got the sprite ( I’m assuming the soda) but missed the other two.
Help please.

Wow that's a dive into the deep end of the amusingly divisive old fashioned! Brandy? Mashed fruit salad? 7-up? After that, a round of Maloorts for the house!

I fully respect the upper midwest's charm and quirks, as a survivor myself, but IMHO that cocktail is about the booze with just a little sweet and spice mixed in.

But thank you anyway - when is it too early to hit the grocery for some bourbon? Maybe a jar of cherries, just to manage some solid food into this "brunch?"

The last part is how you want to finish off the flavor. Three choices according to Charlie.
Sprite for sweet, Squirt for sour, Club soda if you're waiting for marriage.

Squirt is a grapefruit flavored soda made by Dr Pepper.

Going to see him in November. He's a Wisconsin stand up comic.

Thank you.
