What are you drinking?

[Shawn Burkett]

Milk right now. It's morning. Otherwise I'd be joining the beer drinkers - after the last feeding time for the goats.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Fresh brewed coffee.
Water

 

[RATPACKER]

I will be drinking some local PENNA. beer. Wife is letting me off the leash.
She has an evening out with her daughter.

I went to pick up some 7up Zero today and they had a new flavor "7up Shirly Temple". But the can said it was 7up mixed with pomegranate and cherry flavoring. What the expletive!? Maybe I am missing something but a shirl temple is 7up, ginger ale, grenadine and cherries. No disgusting pomegranate crap.

Sounds good to me. I'll have to look for some next time we go shopping.

Pomegranate and cranberries are nature's way of trying to poison people.

Right now I'm taking a break and drinking a Shasta Black Cherry soda.

I haven't had Shasta in years, but black cherry was one of the best!

Grenadine was originally made from pomegranate. So, I assume that is where 7up got the idea for pomegranate flavoring.

My wife serves pomegranate as a fruit sometimes at dinners. I'd never had it until marrying her. I think it's pretty good. She cleans out all the pulp, leaving only the juicy seeds thingies...which I just looked up, and are apparently called "arils." Looks like this when served:

Coffee with honey and cinnamon!

I can't drink beer like I used to. Really fills me up and makes me feel bloated. So, come football Saturday, I've been trying out different cocktails.

Last Saturday, it was a Boulevardier. (Tonight I got a bunch of videos about it suggested to me by YouTube, which is what made me think about it again tonight--time to clear out my cookies.)

The Boulevardier is basically a Negroni, but you swap out the gin in favor of bourbon:

• 1 1/4 oz. bourbon (mine was Maker's Mark)
• 1 oz. sweet/Italian vermouth
• 1 oz. Campari (but I used Aperol...it is slightly less bitter...and I didn't have any Campari, so I had to improvise )

I gotta say, I might have a favorite new cocktail...at least until I find another one!

Not exactly a traditional football watching drink, but boy did those Boulevardiers taste great and go down easy.

The lady drinks "white negronis" all the time.

According to the recipe card it is 400 Conejos Oaxaca Mezcal, Saler’s Aperitif, and Coconut Fat Washed Dolin Blanc Vermouth. That all sounds too fancy for a drink.

I like Old Fashions.

Tonight with dinner I popped open a can of Canada Dry Ginger ale with a splash of cherry juice.

Just seeing this. I would like that. I will need to look around and see where I can find it sugar free or regular. A number of years ago Ginger Ale came with a cranberry flavoring. It was only around for a little while. I think I bought it for a holiday meal and then it was impossible to find again.

We had a salad at Thanksgiving that was mixed greens, a homemade dressing that was delicious, pomegranate seeds and toasted pine nuts. It was so delicious.

If I am drinking soda, which is actually fairly rare for me, it is usually Canada Dry Ginger ale.

Sipping on some egg nog.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to add eggnog to our shopping list. Haven't had any in years.

Last week I ordered some blackberry Ginger Ale online. I think it came from Canada, the label was in 2 languages. It was pretty good.

I know that this is the time of year to find special flavors of sodas I'll have to look to see what is available now.

 

[Magus]

Tonic water and a shot of lemon.

My wife is a big Egg Nog fan. Me, not so much. She also made a batch of homemade Bailey's Irish Cream. Pretty easy to make. She uses bourbon, heavy whipping cream, cocoa (I think). Puts it all in a blender. Everybody who tries it loves it. If you want a more precise recipe I will post it.

 

[Bacpacker]

Please

 

[Magus]

It sounds a bit like the one I make with mocha and spiced rum. tell me more!
