Ok. YouTube must of changed their links or something because I tried to link it directly in a different thread, and it didn’t work, so I figured the /YouTube would. Still doesn’t show up for me.
@PocketBrain the link works, but does the video play in the browser, or did it open up another page for you? The video is supposed to be embedded, but it doesn’t show that way for me.
What’s a weekend without some gaming and mixed drinks?! The other half tends to go for martinis, while I’m more of a mojito girl lately. I even planted mint in our garden just to keep up with my habit.
I adore a good martini. Sometimes I’ll make a fruity one - this weekend I bought some passion fruit at the farmers market. The glasses and vodka live in my freezer. But I also love an old-fashioned from time to time.
Wife: Would you go make me a (whatever)?
Me: What’s that?
Wife: (lists ingredients)

Me: OK, I got the first two things, what was next?

I mix a mean Manhattan. 3:2 ratio Bourbon to Sweet Vermouth, preferably a bourbon that’s very rye-forward. Mix and shake with ice, strain, and add a couple dashes of Angostura Bitters. Finally, two maraschino cherries, 'cause fuck it, I’m a grown ass-man and I like my cherries.
I haven’t mixed one since the last “drinking terrible” episode. Does anyone have a use for banana liqueur?

My pick is Absolutely Bananas.
Bourbon neat count as a cocktail?
@MehnofLaMehncha
Beats banana liqueur

Kentucky still a checkerboard of wet/dry counties?
@f00l I really prefer Bourbon. Testosterone makes a terrible Manhattan.
@SSteve Rocky Mountain Manhattan?
@SSteve
I know Manhattan. Manhattan was a residence of mine.
From the other side of the gender divide, let me tell you from personal experience: Testosterone makes a great Manhattan.
@MehnofLaMehncha Aye. You take an empty glass, and then you mix bourbon into the glass.
You said cocktails
Pretty much every day. Tonight we went to our friends Vicki and Heather’s house and I brought the ingredients to make us a Rojo Bianco.

Unless I’m just having problems with my browser?
@RiotDemon Works for me. Ooo hey, I have that BBQ syringe!

@RiotDemon Oh, I guess I misinterpreted… yeah, it’s just a link, not embedded.
Nightly. Usually, it’s just a jigger of rum in some fruit punch (think Kool Aid) with ice. I get fancy occasionally.
/giphy jigga what?

@Avalora Luv me some mojito

Whoa! is that you?
Margarita. 5 ingredients: ice, salt, lime juice, tequila, cointreau!
Sour mix? What is this? Auschwitz???

Rarely and when I do, it’s like this:

Repeat until drink is complete.
Try Veracruzana! We follow this recipe at home.

@sanspoint
There are some other ways to mix a mean Manhattan…but to pull one of them off, you kinda have to be in Manhattan.
Ahhh, I see you live in NYC. Then you know this.
Does plastic jug vodka and self loathing count as a cocktail?
Does Nestle Quik count?
@DrWorm I’ve actually seen places selling Adult Chocolate Milk, so if you throw some vodka in there, sure, why not?
I usually just dump a ton of vodka in whatever I am drinking at the moment.
@conandlibrarian What if you’re drinking vodka?
@sanspoint
It’s tricky, but you just dump more vodka into it. Careful tho, during the mixing.
@sanspoint
I don’t think chilled tequila can count as “mixed”, so I guess never
I like BEER
And sometimes, Single Malt Scotch.
@daveinwarsh
She’s Scotch and single? How is she malty?
very seldom, to drink alone at home it’s boring
