Think of a drink and let's find it on the web. Maybe we can learn about new combinations and whatever else is out there.
It doesn't have to be alcoholic. It could be energy, protein or what have you.

I like it when I don't want something heavy but still refreshing and gives me a good buzz.
Thank you. I learned a good bit about Harveys Bristol Cream today. No apostrophe.
I remember the commercial from long ago.
I found a ginger ale recipe with lemon peel, no lime or twisting.

I wasn't aware they had a similar recipe so I AM the original creator of The Lemon Teaser then!!!:spin::spin::spin:Quote:

Never could come up with a name.
Then some college punks claimed to have come up with it and they called it a Duck Fart. Morons.
The Green Slime* used to be absinthe popular in New Orleans, but by the time my parental units got around to Mardi Gras it had been banned. The Green Dragon has been around for a while Charles, have they made it legal in your neck of the woods yet? Alabama will be the last, but eventually America will catch wise to The Netherlands Model, for the most part only tourists use Loco Weed.
* The Green Slime (oozing, oozing down your leg) became the CB handle of a kid not wrapped too tight upon his hearing my recitation of bizarre song lyrics as late night Beat Poetry on Chicken Band. The lyrics that caused that minor disaster were those of I Am The Slime by Frank Zappa. I changed "oozing out of your TV set" to "oozing out of your CB set". The Mothers did it on Saturday Night Live with a cool effect, shaving cream oozing out of suspended monitors making piles on the floor. Mark Bolan of T. Rex was the king of weird, "You're built like a car you have a hub cap dinosaur halo. You're built like a car, oh yeah." Try to beat THAT, I won't. I don't want a girlfriend I'd make love to her tailpipe and get my nob burnt and covered with soot!
BTW Cheech & Chong started something, and Tommy Chong carried on the tradition starring in the first of The Evil Bong movie series, all of them funny as all ____. On the other end of the stoner movies scale is Star Weed, but the message is clear. NEVER let on where someone's secret grow is after they've been kind enough to lead you to it and let you smoke it (don't take any home) or they'll have to kill you. After all it's still illegal at the federal level (Schedule 1 CDS) because there's more money in prohibition than taxation.
Sorry, I don't think I could ever bring myself to drinking or even eating something called a duck fart without gagging.

Eh, I'll call mine, The Peddler.

Ah HA!
I see I've put this in the wrong area. It should be in Food & Beverage.
Well, I guess that's what happens when you're _______.
Yeah, I'm ________.
An easy fix!Quote:

Some time back, back in the day, back when the only people that existed were troglodytes. Cave men, Cave women, Neanderthal.
Troglodytes.
We came up with a drink I called the Van Helsing. It was Grand Marnier, Crown Royal and Chambord. Add a shot of vodka to it, shake with ice and strain and it was a Grandfather Van Helsing. Why? Who knows?
Today I found what some people with what must be nasty taste buds are calling a Van Helsing. It contains white pepper syrup and garlic.
Attachment 17675
To be sure, I would add the Van Helsing drink above with the pepper and garlic to ground sausage while cooking in the pan for making Bahn Mi.
Another one I forgot about, Chambord, Goldschlagger and Meyers dark rum.
Just a heads up mates, read these lyrics if'n ye got the ken, ye may be put off rum f'rev'r more if ye don't! https://lyricstranslate.com/en/sea-s...te-lyrics.html As fer meself, I'll stick with the Green Dragon... if I can stay from smoking up th' fixins. While on the subject of intoxicants, you'll get a great laugh out of this:

About that Chambord, did you ever have it generously poured over a nice bowl of french vanilla ice cream? It makes for a great different dessert idea to serve company or for yourself when you want to indulge.

Google says mousse.
So many IPA's. Can't tolerate the ultra hoppy drink anymore.
If I want a beer, it has to be a rich darky.
Peppermint schnapps, shot of Bailey's, 7up, ice, blender. No name except one more please.

I've been doing Jack Daniels and coke lately, and feeling very buzzed and loving it.:spin::mallethead:
Jack Daniels is an interesting brew. How do you like the flavor of the charred barrels?Quote:

I didn't like it plain at all, I only like it mixed with coke or cherry coke, my only goal is to get real buzzed.

I'll be OK, I just (re)joined Costco. The Kirkland bourbon is decent.
I am just kicked back with an Erdinger Weisbier Dunkel
Cold coffee. On a sunny but chilly afternoon in the PNW.
I was drinking coffee right up until I cracked the Dunkel open.Quote:

8 months later and I've put red wine into the mix. You know, for health and stuff.
I enjoy hi tech instant infused drinks every day.. THC drink powders, and drops. Nothing beats a nice espresso with 25 MG.of infused THC.Quote:

I've run out of ideas. I've reversed my trend towards craft microbrews and enjoy just a simple lager. I think Kona Longboard is what I had on hand last.
I got a Sweet Baby Java by DuClaw Brewing Co but it's way too bitter. It's supposed to be an espresso infused peanut butter porter. I like porter but no one knows how to make one anymore. Sierra Nevada used to make the best porter but now their porter tastes weak and cheap.
WEAK AND CHEAP I SAY!
Aldi Bekken Bock is not bad for a light beer

So, it was Luau Day at the marina today so naturally I had to have a rum punch, which came with an umbrella, which put me in mind of The Island.

Ella won the hula hoop competition, which got her free slip rent for the month of July — a pretty nice prize for five minutes of work. I’ve started calling her “Ms. Hula Hoop Champion Ma’am.”
