Captain Courageous Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 I don't really drink hard liquor... it makes me get hangovers so badly, have memory loss once I am too drunk and projectile vomit... *shakes his head* its no good. No good at all. I like drinking wine or beer but sorry... don't have any favorite mixes or hard liquor or anything for that matter really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Favorite drink is a g&t. But anything with gin is great. Cold weather makes for a nice cognac or a dry, leathery wine. My gimlet: 1.5 oz Beefeater or Bombay Sapphire to 1 oz unsweetened lime juice. Awesome drink. I hate sweet gimlets. I don't have any knock-you-on-your-ass mixes. I don't drink to get drunk anymore. Jager has made me a changed man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Courageous Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 lol, did you have a bad Jager experiance or did it show you that enjoying mixes is better than racing to get shitfaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonthert Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Go with the classical Sazerac: 4 Oz. Rye Whiskey or Bourbon (Rye bourbon preferably, but wheat bourbon is fine, too.) 1/2 Oz. Peychaud's bitters 1/2 Oz. Absinthe (the real stuff, not that fake crap they sell alot of) 1/4 Oz. Sugar Syrup. Ice Add the bitters, absinthe and sugar syrup. Add the ice, then the whiskey. Drink with slim straw. Bah-diggity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 QUOTE (Captain Courageous)lol, did you have a bad Jager experiance or did it show you that enjoying mixes is better than racing to get shitfaced? Both. Lots of Jager shots last Christmas turned out really bad. I still have the bottle hidden in the back of the kitchen cabinet. Makes me gag when I see it. And I can't stand the taste of licorice anymore. It was like a near death experience. I think at one point I saw Jesus, and he slapped my stupid ass for being so drunk on his birthday.

james Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Sonthert: where are you getting your absinthe? And what's your brand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The EU has completely removed all regulations against absinthe...there are websites. I have a French absinthe and a Spanish one. The Spanish one is kinda crummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Courageous Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 @Sonthert: Oh, I wanna try Absinthe. I may not be too into drinking but if I could that is one drink I would defenantly pay good money to experiance. @James: lol, I can see you all floating up to the light and then Jesus smaking you back down. I once had what I thought was a near death experiance from it also... strange. When my friend and I were smoking shisha I got a headache from it. So I took two asprin... later that night I had a couple of shots of Jager... just a couple. Late that night after falling alseep I woke up in the middle of the night and needed a glass of water bad... felt like I was gonna pass out if I could get some water... I couldent walk or anything. I felt bad cause I ended up dropping the glass of water in his kitchen and then I was too messed up to even be able to soak up all the water of clean up all the glass... Tried to use the restroom but just stumbled everywhere in the bathroom, bending his towl rack and falling into the bathtub, tearing down the shower curtains... it sucked. I think that was the last time that I even had Jager, lol. Not a fun experiance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Courageous Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 hey Sonthert... living here in the US... can we order it online? Is that what you did? If that is possible I am defenantly gonna do it some day. I wish it were legal here but I think that is asking alittle too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The online absinthe we've gotten has been through my brother in law. I've almost done some online ordering, but I've never ordered anything internationally. So, I wasn't sure how difficult it was. So I assume you haven't had any bad experiences? No governmental problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Courageous Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 ah, plenty of my own little run ins with the law... defenantly dont wanna try to order some if is risky though... I am not down with taking any chances with the laws and court systems anymore after being put through the ringer already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Oops. Thought I was asking Sonthert, but I guess I'm way too slow at posting. Sorry. Here is a decent looking absinthe site I googled if your interested Cap. www.eabsinthe.com But like I was saying, I haven't ever ordered anything internationally. I have no idea how hard it is to get it past customs, or if it's even an issue at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Courageous Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 oops, sorry about that mix up with responding to a question ment for him... thanks for looking that up for me though... I will check out that link you posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumonshoe Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 chiming in to also put my vote in for the good old G&T. other quick and easy mixes: - Vodka & Sprite - Rum & Coke - Whiskey & Root Beer - Vodka & Orange Juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 It depends, some absinthes are far stronger, my friend has a Swiss bottle thats like 140 pr (70% alcohol). That will rip it up. Some bottlings are lower alcohol content (100-110 pr) which make them more drinkable straight. I'm not sure its illegal to have absinthe, just illegal to import, manufacture or sell it. Lots of people order from those websites...nothing odd about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksblazer Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I just tried some absinthe last week. It's a different kind of buzz. It kinda tasted like breath freshiner. Lighting the sugar on fire and putting it into the absinthe was cool to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i heard absinth is a fire drink and you supposed to flame it for a bit b4 blowing it out and drinking it? Never, EVER, set absinthe on fire, real absinthe at least. Czech 'absinth' is absolute shit. The fire thing was a recent invention to compete with drinks like flaming sambuca. Real absinthe is a complex drink that, in order to have all of the flavors released, much be 'louched' having ice cold water added very slowly (practically drop-by-drop) turning it from green to a milky white. Traditionally the water is dripped onto a sugar cube resting over the glass on a slotted spoon. The best absinthe (IMO) is the French-produced Jade Edouard 72.

Skimo Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 so is it true it makes you see shit? I always wondered if that was true or not but anyways I don't know if this counts but I like Jager and Redbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halon Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Mari Mayans absinthe is good, and Deva is the standard in Absinthe bars in Barcelona. I also picked some up called Diablo Verte, but I was too gone to remember if it was good or not, lol. TYLER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
