Spirits, what you drinking...

[RickSanchez]

That looks like the "pineapple juice" that a ham radio buddy brought to a contest.

It's rye/whiskey and orange juice?

Definitely on the right track ...

A good buddy of mine mentioned to me a few weeks back about this holiday "punch" his mom used to make back in the day. He gave me the recipe, at least as far as he could remember it.

• 1 can frozen concentrated orange juice
• 1 can frozen concentrated pineapple juice
• take 1 of the empty cans and fill it with vodka
• take 1 of the empty cans and fill it with white rum
• (I also added some club soda so it wasn't quite as thick)

Throw everything in a blender, mix it up, and give it a go. It doesn't exactly taste bad, but it definitely burns a bit going down. And 1 shot of it is really all I could handle ... not for the taste but for the alcohol content.

That sounds tasty. It's not far off the alcohol volume of the whiskey orange juice that I drink. I mix that pretty strong too.

Sazerac rye, making it into boulevardiers. But it's really nice neat, too.

Sounds interesting.
Do you age the drink or just make them as wanted?

 

[Darc]

I drink alcohol very rarely - but I like scotch and blende.
The most Chivas Regal 15 - this taste and smell just suit me

Just make them on the spot.

I'm not a patient man.

Hehe. I drink that 1/2 shot Gran Marnier, 1/2 shot whiskey and a ounce of baileys in coffee. What a great way to have a beverage!

Port Charlotte 10 year old single malt.....the "heavily peated" part, meh.

 

[DavidEdwinAston]

Whisky. Aldi,s finest. Smashing. Possibly, Cream "I feel Free", on the system makes it taste better!

 

[Doodski]

It started as a bit sharp and tangy but after a 1/2 ounce or so it is mellowing out to a fruity, oily feeling tasty yummy whisky blend.

St. George Pear Brandy. 30 pounds of pears in each bottle. Good straight or on the rocks and gives mixed drinks new pear taste vive. Don't miss if love pears.

These fruit brandies are so underrated. I always thought they were sweet but they have such a wonderfully refined and delicate flavor, while still having suprising weight.

Poir Williams is a classic, but I really like the Trimbach plum brandy made with Mirabelle plums. Absolutely wonderful. I'm also partial to Kirsch Slivovitz and Calvados.

Picked this up mostly just for the cap....first impressions were favorable....

Is the cap a cork?

Well, it's a stopper with a cork style insert, but some sort of black man made stuff, maybe just regular plastic as opposed to the man made corks some wine comes with....

Rflmao... With the way you worded that I almost gagged giggling. I was thinking you where describing a African figurehead on the metal figure on the cork black stuff. It seemed so awkward and now I get it...lol

So.. anyway. How does it taste? I almost went out on a limb and bought a bottle of Indo Whiskey today but I saw the snazzzy Crown Royal bottle and said nope it's gonna be a Crown Royal day.
