You only need two tools in life - WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40. If it should't move and does, use the Duct Tape.

Yep, a good one goes a long way. Not sure I really have a favorite but Mojito, Pisco Sour, and Manhattan are at the top of the list of mixed drinks for me.

Is that name an ironic reference to Yellow Cake Uranium?

No, but the association is why i like the name and remember the drink. ;) The mixture is equal parts vanilla vodka (or vodka with a drop of vanilla extract), amaretto, and pineapple juice. The taste is reminiscent of a pineapple upside-down cake.

I'm simple. I just drink beer. When I want to make it look different, I just add tomato or Climato juice. Best hair of the dog invented. :)

Very nice with tomato juice, but what's Climato? Is that kid sister safe? BTW, Underberg also makes for a very good repair tool. A shot of that chased with a Castle Milk Stout and you're up and away! :cool:

Maragaritas are always welcome. Hmm, Saturday afternoon, sitting on the patio, Margarita in hand, bar-b-que sizzling away, balmy 90 degrees in the shade... Yeah, I love summer in California! And I grew rather fond of Tequila Sunrise while vacationing in Cozumel last year (but it might have been the free bar, rather than the drink itself :cool: )

One of my friends makes a 'Perfect Margarita', It's a margarita on the rocks (1800) with a 1/2 shot of whiskey as a secret ingredient. It goes down smooth and is the perfect accompaniment for any occassion.

Doesn't it just ruin the apple juice? Vodka and apple juice would be better... sort of... :) (I only drink bourbon if I am very drunk and then only if even the Budweiser has been finished. A drink of last resort.)

Bourbon actually mixes fairly well with slightly acidic fruit juices. The vanilla flavors complement the fruit, with the acid somewhat offsetting the sweetness of the bourbon.

Clamato[^]. A salty tomato-and-clam flavored beverage. There's a beef flavored variation called Beefamato. They're delicious, and if you overindulge along with alcohol you will become severely dehydrated. Well, i did at least. My head throbs just thinking about it.

Have you had good bourbon? See if you can get a taste of Woodford Reserve. Two fingers over a single ice cube, sipped slowly with a good conversation chaser.

You are probably right. I've had Jack Daniels and that is about it. I'll look out for Woodford Reserve. If I still find it too sweet and harsh I'll be mailing it to you.

You may find it too sweet, although it's not as bad as many. It's not at all harsh though, and for me the intense flavor trumps most else. I toured the distillery a couple of years back, and one arm got drenched in the unfiltered stuff as the tour guide demonstrated how they filter it - the scent stayed with me the rest of the day, bringing a happy smile to my face whenever i would bring my hand near it. I detest cologne, but if my wife would pick me up a bottle of this stuff i'd cheerfully wear what i didn't drink... (oh come on, it's a thread on cocktails - what's the point of participating if i can't make it even more disturbing ;) )

Good thing the cops didn't pull you over on the way home and do an alcohol test eh. "Sure thing sir, it is your cologne. Right, we've heard that one before. Did you drink your cologne? Oh, you were at a distillery you say... you aren't helping your case sir... a demonstration? Sir, please, just come quitely and we won't mention the cologne story to anybody in your overnight prison cell." (Funnily enough Fiona's sister got pulled over by cops and was breathalyzed. She was over the limit but swears she hadn't had a drink in days. Turns out it was her mouth wash. She uses non-alcoholic mouth wash these days.)

I think he's referring to an American-style beer brewed by Anheiser Busch, named "Busch" and selling for a bit less than their flagship beer, Budwieser.
