should be kinda obvious that i'm newish to drinking, so i'm trying to experiment with stuff i'd actually like but everything burns lol
I've got a bit of a problem; I've been invited to a Christmas party that centers around liquor, but I'm not much of a drinker. I have neither an educated palate nor a working knowledge of quality booze. And the problem is, these folks are pretty knowledgeable. So can you recommend a unicorn for me? I'd like something I can probably pick up easily, and which would be interesting to a discerning drinker, something maybe a little surprising? I'd like to make a good impression but I'm way out of my depth here.
Thanks for the consideration!
I’m attempting a blueberry earl grey liquor infusion for a whiskey cocktail (recipe and instructions pictured), but I accidentally added the simple syrup to the alcohol mixture before letting it sit for a day! 😩 is it ruined or should I just infuse longer since I essentially pre-diluted it?
Is this normal for Evan Williams to look like after sitting for 5 hours?
Bought this a little shy of a year ago, made three chocolate martinis and it’s been in my liquor cabinet ever since. Smells fine but want to make sure. Thanks!
I took a 800mg ibuprofen for back pain, just wanted to see how long would yall wait to drink liquor? I get worried about my liver and kidneys whenever I take pills so I usually never drink. But the boys are going out tonight. I’m thinking 10 hours is safe, but if there’s any risk even then I just won’t
I've seen countless posts online and videos about how running cheap vodka through a water filter makes it just taste like water, despite keeping the same alcohol content, so I got curious and wanted to try it with something different.
I ran approximately 1 shot of 110 proof Absinthe through my filter, and despite a slight scent, it looks and tastes exactly like pure water. Anyone have any more knowledge or information on this? Because I would have thought that something as strong as Absinthe would still retain some flavor, color, or even a little bit of burn, but it didn't at all.
Did I do something wrong? Could it just be that there is still some water left in the filter from before I poured the Absinthe? Or is running your liquor through a water filter really that much of a life hack?
Found this in my grandfather’s bar and trying to find a date for it - anyone got a guess?
We were recently in Innsbruck and missed out on trying it at a bar, and couldn't find any bottles anywhere. My husband would love to get some since he likes unique things and already likes Malort. Thanks!
I work for a liquor distribution company and I’m a merchandiser that goes to at least two stores a day almost, and Johnny Walker is one of the products I stock. I guess a) is jw a good scotch? Or should i try something else to start? And b) is each bottle of the squid game edition gonna have different numbers like the contestants?? If that’s the case, I’ll consider buying a bottle for the novelty
Was gifted this from a Portuguese buddy. Can’t find any info on this before Serie 30, and websites are all in Portuguese. Should I be keeping it, drink it, or past its prime?
I’m curious if anyone here could help me out.
If all else is equal, same location, same quantity/size, etc…
Are prices form a distributor higher for a bar/restaurant than to a liquor store?
This is specifically in Southern California if that helps.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about it and how to find it online?
I made my own liqueur by picking wild blueberries and added sugar and 100 proof alcohol. (Did the same last year, but with blackberries) This time there is a distinct alcohol aroma that hits the pallet in all the wrong ways. Anyone who can give me a tip on how to mask it without loosing the good forest blueberry aftertaste?
Hey all.
Wondering if anyone knew a website that had weights for empty liquor bottles. My googling has come up with enventory apps but not a list that I can just get the 5ish bottle weights I need.
Thanks.
been sitting on this for a few years, it had part of a collection belonging to my grandparents. From my understanding it’s no longer in production.
Just like the title, I am looking to get a friend of mine a great bottle of tequila. The problem is he’s probably tasted everything $300 and lower. Any ideas?
For context my brother is blind, so he can't drive. He asked me to take him to get some beers. Will this be allowed?
