Nothing, but an old friend stopped by an gave me a quart of Apple Pie in a jar. Made with Shine.:bolt:
Apple Pie in a Jar Drink

"This tastes just like apple pie! Great in the autumn around a campfire or on a hay-ride. Put it in canning jars with rings and lids for that down-home country appeal."
INGREDIENTS:
1 gallon apple cider
1 gallon apple juice
6 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks
1 1/2 cups white sugar, or to
taste
1 (1 liter) bottle 190 proof grain
alcohol (such as Everclear(TM
))
DIRECTIONS:
1. Place the apple cider, apple juice, cinnamon sticks, and sugar into a large pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat, and discard the cinnamon sticks. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, then stir in the grain alcohol. Pour into quart-size canning jars, seal with the lids and rings, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

I love Apple Pie! It is so smooth, you don't taste the alcohol. I'm trying to be good and not drink, but that sure is tempting

I may try that closer to Xmas. Sounds good.

Rusty Nails. They go well with action, thriller, and - well - most movies.

Dale's Pale Ale.

Super hoppy, but not real heavy. 6.5% abv, $13.99 for a 12 pack of 12oz cans. Buzz starts Midway through #3.

Pairs well with pastrami on multi grain with mayo and cheap American cheese.

Pale ales are so trendy. I keep waiting for everyone to wake up and realize that while it IS fun to say "pale ale" they taste terrible.

There's a beergarten near us that I go to a few times a year, and all they have on tap is pale ales. I end up getting a red wine.

Lager all the way.

It's an acquired taste, to be sure. I used to revile the bitterness, but now I prefer it. If you can get past the first one, Glatt, they are typically more complex and tasty than a one dimensional lager. Not calling you simple, as I'm sure you weren't calling me trendy. Just pointing out that they do have more to offer than a squinched up face.

Tonight there is an open bar tab for the band, as we do one set of Blues Brothers songs at 9, and then drink until when.

I won't be drinking cos I have to drive an hour home and then wake up tomorrow and spend 5 hours preparing the whole T-giving feast.

Jim if I wanted to relive the bitterness I'd remarry

I simply hate the taste of beer. I've never been able to develop a taste for it

No more Yuengling and Miller Lite for you?

Hear, hear! Beer is gross. Always has been. Always will be.

Oh, I'll still drink it. Nothing better than a cold miller light in a hot shower, but if I'm drinking to get festive, I can't drink enough to get buzzed.

Yeungling is my go to beer at the bar cuz it's cheap... but it makes me fart all day afterwards.

As for bitter beers, Dogfish 90 minute IPA is one of the best, and strongest. Troegs perpetual is also a good one. Victory Hop devil and Hop Wallop are excellent as well.

Duvell Belgian ale is a good tweener. Try that some time.

I drink beer cuz it's the cheapest route to Happytown, not cuz I like the taste...If I drank for the taste, I wouldn't be drinking Bud Light, that's fer damn sure.

I've identified LaBatts ice in 24oz cans to be the cheapest ticket to buzztown. You get 12 for $11.99. That's like 50c per regular 12oz can. It's 5.1%abv.

drink 2 quickly and you're on your way.

if you're not enjoying the taste, it's... medicine. sometimes that's the ticket, but I drink because I like the taste far more than I like the buzz. I strongly prefer IPAs but I occasionally like a lager, if it goes with the meal, or it's hot outside (like lawnmower beer).

I love Ninkasi's Tricerahops Double IPA, and Fremont Brewery's Interurban IPA. Ninkasi is an outfit in Eugene, Oregon, the new center of the universe for hops and hop growing.

Tricerahops - :thumb: (the name, I know nothing of the beverage)

We need an alcoholic beverage that tastes like Whoppers.

Large Jameson's.

Nice!

What Are You Drinking Tonight?
 

Cheap vodka.

And Sunny D.

:drunk:

I am disappoint in all your beer deprecations.

and by the way, beer doesn't like the way you taste, either. :pfft:

I'm trying to be good. I'm having boiled custard

decaf coffee w/milk no sugar

Merlot tonight. From a box!

We usually have a box of merlot sitting on top of the microwave. Black Box wines aren't half bad, and as good as many of the inexpensive bottle wines at the $8-9 mark for half the price. I'm looking at you, Barefoot and Yellow Tail.

Lately we found a delicious red wine at Trader Joes, imported from Italy. I think it's really pretty good. We bought a case and would get more, but they have since sold out. Only $4 a bottle for that one.

Edit: I forgot to add, it was the Vola Sangiovese. It really tastes like a good $25 bottle of wine. Pick a bottle up if you see one. And then go back for a case when you realize how good it is.

If enough people show up, I may make up some Apple Pie in A Jar...

Otherwise, it's cheap vodka, and OJ. Again.

I like vodka, it puts me in a place that no other drink does.

You wild man, you.

f'realz. I'd have to be out of my mind for coffee to drink decaf.

drinking bourbon tonight.

Evan Williams, neat.

A very nice Oregon Pinot Gris - King Estate, 2012.

Hopefully, this cherry hard candy-infused pint of Tvarscki 90 proof vodka...if it'll ever finish.

It's finished.

:yum:

for strong sweet candy flavors Gravdigr, I wonder if you've ever considered using some flavored water concentrate, like Mio or KoolAid? I got a tiny bottle of the KoolAid brand (Grape) and it's like a miracle. Take a glass of water, hit it with a squirt of the purple stuff--OH YEAH!!!! KOOL AID!!

I reckon if you found a flavor you like, you could instantly flavor a batch like the one you pictured.

This too. Although it's probably loaded with chemicals, it's used in very small quantities, and surprisingly tasty.

Ooh. I hadn't thought about that. I may give that a try sometime.

:thumb:

Just like my body!

Better living, through chemistry. Well...higher living, anyway.

:D

Yeah, there comes a point, maybe an age, when the long term effects of all this crap is of little concern.
Might as well,
never can tell,
when I'll smell,
the brimstone of hell.

[HoytAxton]The doctors say it kills horses and men, yeah, they say it kills ya, but, they don't say when[/HoytAxton]

Well, I just tried this. It works perfectly. Perfectly, that is, if you like grape Kool Aid. The shot of vodka tasted **just like** grape Kool Aid. Find a flavor you like, and then just go crazy.

I'd practice with just water first to get the feel for the dispensing pressure needed to get the concentrate out of the bottle. It does NOT permit dripdripdrip and instead holds tight until it makes a very fine, very strong stream---PSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHT. Then you're done. Practice on the water first.

Congratulations! You guys have just figured out how to make university freshman/woman party drinks! Kool Aid shots. :p:

eta: I know this because I have four children who went to college ...

After being on the wagon for 100+ days, now working on a batch of Peach pie.

Eh, just some supermarket carton eggnog, with a little dab of this rum or that and a good shake of mace into the rum before putting the nog in. Nutmeg is fine, but mace is really nice.

Green tea.

Cinnamon vodka and sparkling apple juice. Tastes like an apple pie. I think this will be my new favourite drink this festive season. :)

Peach Pie By BB
1 Qt. Welch's essentials peach, mango.
1 Qt. Peach juice drink.
1 Qt. Crystal light Peach bellini. "wtf."
1 Tbsp. Cinnamon w/ sucralose.
2 Tsp. Punkin pie spice.
I mixed the 2 juices together to top off 1 gal.
With a long squirt of the light liquid.
The tricky part, after a few samples, not too sure about how much everclear.
Take your pick. 6, 8 , or 10 oz.
I was going to the store, but think I'll go to bed. :smack:

I've got a half gallon of Everclear, but none of the other ingredients. :smack:

Drink up.:litebulb:

Boy!! That shit will send ya to bed early!!~!

Tazo's Zen Green Tea with mint and lemon balm.

Chivas Regal straight up. (sipping)
Or supermarket own-brand economy Scotch with ginger beer. (more liberally, what the helll, I'm on leave until next year)

decisions, decisions ;)

Sounds delightful!

Welcome to the Cellar, Molasar :)

thank you @DanaC, another resident of my home county I see.
I should have put a bet on that my first ever post in The Cellar concerned intoxicating liquor, but there again it was the mention of the 'virtual tavern' that drew me in so I guess it was just serendipity.

to avoid incurring the wrath of the (time-expired;)) mods by going off-topic, is there a place for NKOBs to introduce themselves?
Or is it all down to hazing in here?:eek:

There's not really a dedicated thread. Here's as good a place as any. Welcome Molasar! What combination of search terms and/or random browsing brought you here?

Just dive in, Molasar!

There may be a questionnaire for you from lumberjim. It's tradition.

this has to be the lamest reason going but I was watching a Gregory Peck movie on some random TV channel in the UK this morning (GMT ;) ) and he referred to his five-year-old charge that she was as "hard as wang leather". having been in the leather industry years ago but not knowing that type I was curious and googled it.
this place, your very own forum, was the only sensible answer I found without going to ludicrous extremes. true.
I then checked out the basic forum yadda-yadda stuff and almost immediately found mention of the 'virtual tavern' and that was it, decision made, and the rest is history (actually it's not history that's sheer bollocks, it's just bringing us up to now).

Welcome!

Don't get ahead of yourself, glatt, he may turn out to be a rowdy drunk. :lol2:




:juggle:

if that's the way you guys roll it'd be rude of me not to join in (hic!):3eye:
