What are You Drinking RIGHT NOW? II

[JCBBQ]

Thought I’d make some drinks I saw on instagram so I bought some banana liqueur. Well that particular cocktail was terrible so I now have a whole bottle. Started looking up banana liqueur cocktails and found this: Banana Maple Bourbon Smash. Actually pretty tasty. Probably better in the summer though.

[Dewesq55]

Cool! That's some fancy looking maple syrup you have there JCBBQ

Enjoying American rum that is distilled, barreled, aged and bottled in Massachusetts. Yes rum from Massachusetts.

[Dewesq55]

Nice! How is it? Is it really a sippin' rum the way you have it pictured?

[Whiskeyman53]

Dewesq55, it’s a true sipping rum. The main difference between this rum and its Caribbean cousins is molasses in place of cane sugar. The weather here pulls the liquid in and out of the barrel more than it would in a hot climate leading to a more bourbon like quality. I just compared it to a Jamaican 12 year rum, both are excellent and completely different in good ways.

White Buffalo

1.5 oz Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream

0.5 oz Coconut Rum

Add ice, shake, pour over ice.

Its delicious.

[Dewesq55]

Sounds yummy! I haven't seen the BT Bourbon cream. I'll have to keep an eye out. Although the selection here in the state owned stores is pretty limited, so I'm not holding my breath to find it.

[Lynn Dollar]

Dewesq55 It is yummy. Its just not as stout a drink as I'd like. The coconut rum really sets it off.

I like that your drinks typically come with a view.

[Panhead John]

Maybe so, but he still needs to shave his legs.

[JCBBQ]

Better gams than some of your waitresses 😉

[Santamarina]

Citra wet hop IPA at a local brewery - East Nashville Beer Works. It’s outstanding!

[RichieB]

Ok, I know, I'm a wine connaseiur/snob. Y'all envious.

[Purc]

Years ago, the CEO of BV Vineyards always asked after a flowery wine description, ...but does it taste good? Because that's what matters most.

[BKYDBBQ]

Southern Comfort Egg Nog Mix, Smirnoff Peppermint Twist Vodka, garnished with some crushed peppermint candy.

[barelfly]

Love the candy cane sprinkle!

[Purc]

I got that vodka as a gift and not opened it. This is something I will try.

[BKYDBBQ]

Purc it is also good in hot chocolate

[ItsAllGoneToTheDogs]

At my wifes Christmas party...

[Purc]

It's early Sunday morning and 35 degrees, so why not enjoy a fortified coffee.
BTW, How 'Bout Them Cowboys !

[barelfly]

A good stretch of days to rest and get ready for a good game!

[JCBBQ]

New gin. Very good. Classic London Dry. Delicious classic martini.

From earlier today...Miami Vice (Pina Colada and Strawberry Daiquiri swirled together) from Fat Tuesday in Key West.

Just lit the Menorah and now enjoying a maple syrup old fashioned :-) ….. I may need to make one for the doggo

[RichieB]

ecowper I'm not that regimented. Pork has been the highlight. Tomorrow cheese steak sub. We'll have our traditional meal, brisket (her version) her potato latkes and her home made apple sauce. Been doing for 50 plus years. Dipping the latkes in the apple sauce is bliss. And the cookies both Nancy and my daughter bake. All I have to do is enjoy. Did I mention the people around the table?

[ecowper]

RichieB oh, regimented is too much …. We light the menorah, give a small gift, or have a drink together. One big celebratory meal. And we are a mixed family, so Hanukkah and Christmas happen all in some weird, crazy mix

[RichieB]

Light menorah. I can't remember when we exchanged gifts. Anniversary, birthday, holiday. For me this year, the carbon steel pan is a starter for me. I'll most likely find something else. I'm a bit more focused on self present giving. She just shakes her head, not surprised. Going on 53 years of marriage and 73 years young waking up and being able to move is a plus. We do but appreciate it more.
