What are You Drinking RIGHT NOW? II

[WayneT]

Hendricks and Tonic on a warm, muggy day.

[Purc]

Getting ready to have one as well before I fire up the kettle for Meat Church's chicken thighs for sandwiches. G&T's are refreshing on days like this.

Tomorrow is my 71st birthday. To celebrate, I had what you see below tonight with a tri tip steak, about 7 oz.

I need to give you the back story. The company I worked for and the organization I was part of had a conference in San Diego at the Marriott on the marina. A really nice property. I stayed there with my family for vacation too. One evening they rented out the San Diego Zoo. Loaded us on busses. It was a fun experience as it was just us. They provided food. They also had stations throughout the zoo where you could get a beer or wine. I leaned to the wine. As we were wrapping up, I passed a stand and there were unopened bottles. I grabbed one as a souvenir. That was in early to mid 90s. So, let round off to 30 years. I was skeptical. Todat, I decanted for 3 hours. The aroma was fine. I tasted just before sit down to eat. Bingo! A delicious taste with strong tannins which I like. It is from Roundhill VineYards in St. Helena CA.


Had to throw in the steak.

Summer in the Pacific Northwest got warm ….. so time for a Havana style Rum Daiquiri. Not a true Hemingway cause no grapefruit juice.

It’s 4:2:1.5 Rum to lime juice to simple syrup …. Shake over ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass (or Coupe if you have one).

[ComfortablyNumb]

Well, if it's any consolation, while you are sweltering in the mid-80's, I'll be chillin' in the low-100's.

[Red Man]

ComfortablyNumb Who said anything about mid 80s?!? In Bellingham we’re sweltering with highs in the mid 70s with the occasional high of around 80.

[ComfortablyNumb]

Red Man That's what the forecast is for towards the end of the week in the link I posted above. Today and tonight are the coolest period for the week.

[Thunder77]

The Famous Grouse Smoky Black. It’s okay. They were out of Monkey Shoulder

[Elton's BBQ]

[Richard Chrz]

Two pours for the day.

[Smilner]

Drinking some Always Smooth™️ ‘stones

[WayneT]

Gin Fizz, hand crafted by my live-in mixologist. The light pink color comes from the use of hibiscus simple syrup, home-made, of course.

[BKYDBBQ]

Captain 'n Coke, with an Arturo Fuente and some educational reading...

[Smilner]

BKYDBBQ that’s exactly what I’m looking for! I’ve got way too many cookbooks either gifted or bought thinking they were more story than recipes. I’m gonna check it out

[BKYDBBQ]

Smilner This would be a good option. My next history read will be either Black Smoke by Adrian Miller or From Barbycu to Barbecue by Joseph R. Haynes.

[SheilaAnn]

BKYDBBQ I just picked up Black Smoke and Mr. Miller autographed it too. Haven’t cracked it open yet.

[RichieB]

A Boston and New England staple.

[barelfly]

Remastered? I don’t drink beer any longer, but I always loved SA. What have they done to ‘remaster’ this great beer? Or is that…..marketing?

[Elton's BBQ]

Norwegian Pale Ale.. quite fruity, low on bitterness and sweetness.. Cloudy..

[smokenoob]

I could tip that!

[barelfly]

Getting Taco Thursday ready…so why not have a margarita while I do the prep I went salted, wife like Tajin.

[smokenoob]

Wobble water!

[barelfly]

What is wobble water…. I mean…I’m sure it makes you wobble but…

[smokenoob]

Well barelfly that would be of course what Festus called whisky!
