I don't really like wine either, but I can handle some dessert wines. Mead was ok. I like cider in very small doses.

icarus would make the perfect wife for an old man. He doesn't ask for anything and he doesn't want anything.
I'm a big fan of infusing the clear liquors to make cocktails or to drink on the rocks. Fruit pulls a lot of the junk out of shit liquor and replaces it with tastiness. That being said, bbobb is righter.
I like a good martini. Gin + vermouth + shakey shakey = good times. Olives for chewing if you've got 'em.
A good peppery gin is bangin'.
Whats the point in mixing any alcohol if you're just gonna hide its flavour? My vote is gin because its fucking delicious and compliments a lot of shit. For more elaborate cocktail making It'd probably have to go to a rum of some sort because they also mix with everything, but on their own they taste like anus.
Related: Old Fashioned's are some overly sweet bullshit. The bitters just throw it right off the cliff. Cocktails in general fall along the same lines.
I don't really dig on all the sugary business. "But ethanol is fermented suga--" shut up.
Razor down there is right, vodka is the king of "this needs booze in it".
This is possibly ignorant. The idea with certain drinks is using different ingredients to bring out different 'notes' in the alcohols you're enjoying, flavors that do not appear solo. I've only just dipped my toe into this, but a high-end bar will change your mind on the matter.Quote:

It replied:Cocktail is a stimulating liquor composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters—it is vulgarly called a bittered sling and is supposed to be an excellent electioneering potion, inasmuch as it renders the heart stout and bold, at the same time that it fuddles the head. It is said, also to be of great use to a Democratic candidate: because a person, having swallowed a glass of it, is ready to swallow anything else.
That is a classy goddamn definition. :lol:
