I've been wanting to try some for a while. You will have to let me know how it goes.

I was looking at ordering some online, imported.

Don't forget your sugar cubes and distilled water!!

My new vice is Phillips Union Cherry.

Tried the Vanilla, and it's alright. But the Cherry is awesome.

bah, absinthe to be honest is overhyped. I have a couple of bottles on me at the moment, drank my fair share, and never hallucinated. I had the legit stuff too.... Nothing to be concerned about, other than its prett potent.

Give it a whirl and enjoy!

I'm clueless when it comes to drinks. Here's what I've got in the house for hooch & mixes - and no clue how to put it together.


Are there any suggestions from CP as to "recipes" I can make with the ingredients below?



Gin
Blueberry vodka
Regular vodka
White rum
Jamaican rum
Kaluha
Tequila
Absinthe
Bailey’s Irish Cream
Ice-wine

Coke
Ice-tea
Fruit juices (apple, orange, raspberry)
Soda water

Grenadine
Ribena (black currant syrup)
Rose’s lime cordial
Margarita mix
Cranberries (frozen)

I know:
White Russian
Black Russian
Mudslide
Rum & coke
Margarita
Gin & tonic (but don’t have tonic!)
Bailey’s & coffee

Rum I hardly know at all. Tequila and I are just starting to get acquainted. Me and Absinthe, we go back a ways, but its a superficial kind of friendship.

Both rums, vodka, orange juice, splash of raspberry, if you're into mixed drinks. I suggest just the Jamaican rum over ice. Mmmm.

Also,

Just bought some Bulleit Bourbon, and I really liked it. It's a big step up from Jim Beam (ew), but without having to pay the price of Woodford.
