Trump signed the order earlier today. There will be a 25% tariff on everything coming in from Canada and Mexico in regards to liquor. So if you were thinking about buying that favorite bottle of crown royal or tequila, you have until Tuesday before prices jump.

Getting a liquor for a gift, any experts familiar with this one? I believe it’s Kruškovac, but I’m not too sure.

• Croatian liquor
• Tastes like a banana lolly
• Golden/ orange looking

let me know what you guys recommend.

nothing too expensive and good taste.

IDK IF I CAN POST THIS HERE BUTTTT — guys I don’t usually consume alcohol which is why I don’t know much about it but I’m going on a getaway by myself and I wanna sit and enjoy something that doesn’t taste like absolute ass 😭😭 Idm getting a little drunk, my tolerance is really high so keep that in mind pls, open to anyyyy suggestions

Can anybody tell me the brand of this champagne? This is from the movie Enemy at the Gates it suppose to take place in 1942. Thank you....

Just what the title says. I’ve understood that mixing different liquors throughout an evening is not recommended for several reasons. Does that apply to bourbon and whiskey?

I’m assuming not, since bourbon is a type of whiskey. I’m just curious :)

Edit: thank you all for your responses! I expected to get simple yes or nos, but I have actually learned a bit about the contents of a bottle of liquor! The most helpful comments pointed out how the chemicals added to some liquors can indeed worsen hangovers, which is not directly related to fears surrounding “mixing” but IS very insightful information. I’m a young woman from a bourbon-enthusiast family in Kentucky, and I asked this question to resolve a low-level mystery that has circulated in my family for a few years. Thank you!

Does anyone have any idea where to get in the U.S. or who may import? I’ve tried this stuff twice (friend brought over from Italy) and I’m in love. Nero gocce di calabria for reference.

Hello what’s everyone favorite mixed drink or alcohol beverage? I’m looking to try new drink ideas for me and my girlfriend this weekend!

Fav seltzer? Mixed drink? Beer? Sour? Liquors or liqueurs? Wine?

Welcome to the series “liquor of our land” where we discover one local liquor of India at a time. My main aim with this series is to educate people about India’s locally produced liquor, something which is very different from what we are aware of like vodka, whisk(e)y, Gin, Rum etc.

The first liquor that we are going to discover today is the hidden gem of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, LIHIM

What is LIHIM? Tucked away in the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a hotbed of unique cultures, traditions, and practices. One of the coolest traditions that's been around for centuries is the production and consumption of lihim. Now the question arises that what it is made of? a traditional, fermented and distilled alcoholic beverage made from the sap of the fishtail palm. In this blog we'll dive into the world of lihim, exploring its history, cultural significance, and the challenges it faces in today's world.

• Traditional Lihim: 8-12% ABV
• Fermented Lihim: 10-15% ABV
• Distilled Lihim: 20-30% ABV (although this is less common)

Please note that these values are approximate and may vary depending on the specific production methods and recipes used.

When is it traditionally consumed? Lihim plays a huge role in the cultural and social practices of the indigenous tribes of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It's often sipped during ceremonies, festivals, and community gatherings, serving as a symbol of hospitality, friendship, and community bonding. Plus, some islanders swear by its medicinal properties, using it to treat ailments like fever and rheumatism. Lihim can also be consumed early in the morning as is it very refreshing and energizing also it can be consumed after meals for good digestion.

What are its scientific benefits? Lihim, being a fermented beverage, contains various compounds that contribute to its digestive properties. It has different compounds and enzymes which is crested during the process like Amylase which Breaks down starches into simple sugars, aiding carbohydrate digestion, Protease which helps digest proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids. Lipase facilitates which helps in the breakdown of fats into fatty acids and glycerol. Tannins Polyphenolic compounds that helps regulate gut bacteria and reduce inflammation. Flavonoids which is an Antioxidant compounds that protect the gut lining and improve nutrient absorption.

can we get lihim across the country? There are a few things that we need to consider before stepping into promoting it which is that is the production legal or not, the current status of Lihim production is complex and evolving which means that traditional Lihim production for personal consumption is generally allowed, while commercial production is subject to regulations and licensing requirements. The second thing that we need to consider is that do we have enough production to distribute it at a large scale the answer is that the beverage is produces personally by locals so the production quantity is very less to distribute. So to conclude, The production and distribution of the beverage is quite difficult but by the help of the government and support of the locals it is possible to get the problem solved and get the beverage distributed to bars across India.

So lets come together and support these beverages to rise in the market and get its deserved goodwill in the alcohol market .

Caught a local bar owner in my country who had a love for all things related to Japanese food and beverages for a chat, and he was nice enough to allow me to taste his NFS bottles at the back.

This little guy ensnared my senses, and was like nothing I've ever tasted before. The intensity of whisky, notes of wood and smoke, tempered with a smooth, vanillic plateau for its finish; I couldn't believe it was just 38% ABV, much less a shochu.

I usually don't like shochu, especially sweet potato ones, but for those who wish to try it out and come from a background of whisky, this is the one!

A friend in Tokyo helped to order it from Rakuten. Only cost 30-40USD.

I just tried some JTS Brown kentucky bourbon whiskey (not the bonded) and its smooth, slightly sweet at first but is quickly overturned by this odd/funky flavor but it remains smooth and has little burn when swallowed. It wasn't bad but nothing I would try to seek out again. If this is what I can expect from budget bourbon and whiskey I think I'll find something else to drink. Also I'm frugal so my goal is to drink something that is as cheap as possible but also tastes good without being loaded with sugar and artificial stuff. If you have any recommendations I'm all ears. Also, I've had E&J XO and I have to say it tastes better than this JTS in my opinion.

My wife made these based on some recipes she found online, include one recipe from the Lee Brothers of Charleston. We tried both the skins on and skins off versions, using our home-grown loquats. Some loquat Mahattans are in our future!

Years ago back in the 1990's i had an inexpensive bottle of Australian port. It was about $20 and the bottle shape was similar to Grand Marinier. I cant remember the name. Can anyone help? Thank you.

Info from the video is that its italian and is 28% but otherwise doesnt seem to say anywhere what it is and theres no shot of the label thats any clearer than this.

I couldn’t figure out how to attach a picture to my earlier post about trying to buy Avionic in the US, so this is what it looks like in case anyone is interested.

Does anyone know how to buy a bottle of Lufthansa’s “Avionic” aperitif in the US?

I recently had a return flight to the US in business class, and had this fantastic signature aperitif. It was so good, I requested a second glass, and I never do that!

Now I’m obsessed with finding it here in the US, and have not had any luck so far. I’ve called local liquor stores, contacted the Ziegler distillery with no response, and I googled the heck out of it and can’t figure out how to obtain it.

Has anyone else had any luck finding it or have any suggestions?

If you haven’t tried it, one of their press releases describes it thusly:

“Avionic reveals notes of juicy peach and fresh citrus, wild meadow herbs and a pleasant bitter note.”

Apparently, this aperitif is a “successor to a distinctive Lufthansa cocktail from the 1950s.”

I am honestly drinking it straight and it's so freaking good but would like some recommendations on what to mix it with
