Just finished a bottle of Saliero, about to walk up to the local pup for a few shots

I can see why people like the stuff. To me, it tastes strongly of licorice. Kind of like a watered-down Jagermeister. Like General Tso's Chicken, the flavor creeps up on you over time. Even cut with water, it is medium-bodied. After one glass, my mouth was coated and my taste-buds numb.

Time for a second glass...

Legion--how did you feel next day? And did you use sugar as well? I just bought some Absinthe for a friend who will likely share. Thought you were supposed to dribble the ice water over a sugar cube into the absinthe. I know that the stuff is supposed to be nearly hallucinogenic...and make you feel like absolute dog crap the next day...

Cheap stuff tonight: Black Box Cab. Actually, it's actually pretty good. I am not impressed with the Chardonnay or the Merlot. Lot's of guests, with no "training", so no point in the good stuff.

I have been drinking Capt. n Coke this afternoon, now a nice bottle of wine.

Lots of stuff this weekend:

O'Reilly's White Chocolate liquor. Think "lower rent" white Baileys. $9.99 a world market. Too much of a good thing is not a good thing.

"Roam" red wine. From California. Had a photo of a motorcycle on it...most wine is sold by the label. This was no exception. Non-exceptional. $9.99 at World Market as well.

Magic Hat from the neighbor's kegerator.

Sam Adams Cranberry Lambic. Nice sweet wheat beer for the holidays.

I drink so little, that I tend to mix and match to ill results when I have the opportunity.

Makers Mark, rocks.
Last night I had dinner with Jeff and had some 1792. Damn, that's a nice whiskey!

I've got one of those Heineken mini kegs.

Just tapped it a few minutes ago.

Earlier this afternoon, Jim Beam Black Label, slight drip of water to cut it, and a little powdered sugar and honey. Was actually quite good...

Mission Hill Oculus, 2002. (only one left from '02) It is in the decanter, so I guess I am going to finish it......

Cheers

I felt fine the next day. I've had a few glasses the past week. I like it better when the bottle is straight from the freezer. No sugar...I think it's sweet enough without.

Flatbutt1 · 12-31-2007, 09:12 PM

do you sip absinthe or do it in a shooter?

holtjv · 08-01-2008, 06:17 PM

Thought I'd revive this thread as it's one of my OT favorites. IMO, PPOT at its best--you can have the political BS.

So, what are you drinking tonight? Here's my current favorite (sadly, though, now I'm drinking iced green tea):

Cheers,

Jack

1995 Gallo Sonoma Frei Ranch. Its a shame Julio only made "real" wine for a few years, b/c when they threw their resources at it, wow...

not exactly drinking, but lime sherbet with a shot of tequila over it. surprisingly refreshing.

Just a basic Bacardi and Diet Coke tonite, but last Saturday night I was at a birthday party and pitchers of Caipirinha were being consumed like so much water. (At least, that's what I remember...

)

Mmmmmmmmmmmm, Brazilian Cacacha!
