The **Now Drinking** Thread

[MikeTheNative]

Yeh just realised it’s about £5 per drink at home

yeah but it's about £10 at a pub so your saving money really.

Ignore, wrong thread!

It is Friday and a hard week.. and rather than open a red.. which would mean breaking open the box with Margaux, Ch.d.Pape, Pomerol, or St. Emillion....

Smooth as silk with no cutting acidic sharpness. Chablis.. yep.. very nice.

Going to be another 6 months at least before I get chance to re-stock!

Lidl seems to have decent IPAs ( a grapefruit and an orange), enjoying those with the BBQ weather!

Have some lime, rum and fresh mint to make a mojito later but is the sugar granulated or caster? Some recipes say one, some say the other!

I've always used granulated, white or brown. Or made a mint syrup if you don't have the fresh ingredients.

Strongbow. Being classy tonight because the morrisons own brand was oos!

Jubel peach. Lovely. The elderflower one is great too but perhaps more of a refined taste.

Just broke the seal on a bottle of Wild Turkey Rye!

I haven't had a drop of alcohol in 10 years, picked up a 4 pack of stella as I used to drink it and my god... it's foul.

I'm very much into berry flavour juice/squash, can anyone recommend a cider like this?

Aldi do their own nice fruit flavoured ciders. Although Kopperburg is the usual choice for people who like fruit cider.

Bishop's Finger. A nice standard these days, after a rather tasty haddock chowder made by myself.

St Austell's Proper Job.

Can't go wrong with it, an awesome IPA.

@Ahleckz - I am a big fan of Remy Martin VSOP. Did the mint sour work OK?

 

[ecksmen]

@Lysander have you tried st-remy xo? Personally I find it a lot smoother than remy martin vsop, and its a lot more friendly on the wallet.

It was actually very good, I usually make sours with Scotch so this was a nice change. A bit mellower, and the hint of mint worked very well. Need to be careful with the mint, I just used a teaspoon of dried mint as an experiment. Wouldn't go much more than that.

 

[Snookums]

Plantation XO, my Flaviar boxed arrived yesterday so thought I would have a tasting session. Plantation 5 is one of my go to rums and the xo does not disappoint.

 

[Andr3w]

I like that glass ^^^^^


Just having a shipyard IPA
