What's in your glass tonight?

Well as recommended by all the talking heads on the TV, as Seattle moves through a most unusual heat wave for our temperate climate - I'm forcing fluids -
one ice-cold Corona at a time!

 

Glass of golden liquid, with a sweet aroma and easy going down. Apple juice! Enjoying an Oliva cigar, and I happen to like apple juice with cigars or with a pipe.

 

I seldom drink during a work week, but my unmarried wife and kids has gone away for a few days to visit the grandparent while I am "stuck" at work.
So what better way to spend a pleasant evening in solitude than with a glass of Ardbeg and some good tunes from my headphones while browsing my favourite forum.
Sláinte everyone

 

I visited when I lived in Houston. It's a cool way to spend a couple of hours.

 

Starbucks' iced Kati Kati, black.

 

Beer, IPA, brewed in my garage, fermented and aged in my spare bedroom.

 

Excellent choice

 

I love my kids, but two or three times a year they go off to the mountains with their grandmother and I take the chance to sit back and enjoy the solitude. They start back to school tomorrow so I'll have a few hours of that daily for a while.

 

Shock top Lemon Shandy and Honeycrisp Apple Wheat.

 

I did a head to head comparison test tonite, a small dram of each with a dash of spring water.


The Laphroig quarter cask won out, but not by much. I'll have to try this again soon without the dash of water.

 

It's 7:00 and still 93 degrees. I needed this.

 

In The Quiet Man, Maureen O'Hara asked Barry Fitzgerald if he could use a little water in his whiskey. He replied; When I drink whiskey I drink whiskey. When I drink water I drink water.

 

True, but I can multitask

 

I have done the same, just with the 18 year old instead of the 10, and I also found the Quarter Cask to be best. It really is an amazing dram

 

Discovered a new, to me, Cider at Target and was rather pleasantly surprised.

6% alc, 650 ml - at $2.50!

This is their Bourbon flavored one

​

 

Wild Turkey Rare breed and Jack Daniel's Single barrel.

 

I think Wild Turkey is highly underrated. I truly enjoy the 101 and now you may have me try out rare breed...

 

Right now: Coffee in my favorite Klean Kanteen mug....
Tonight: Some Irish Buck over ice

 

101 is my go to everyday drink, Rare breed is good 120 proof and very smooth.
