Dr_Pain Have not tried turbinado sugar. But, have tried dark and light brown sugar. Will have to pick up some turbinado. Always into enhancing the experience. Thanks.

One of my sons introduced me to Snoop Dogg’s Indoggo gin
I usually am wary of celebrity brands but at 80 proof this is smooth enough to be a straight sipper
Predominant Strawberry with some citrus along with some of the standard gin botanicals -

HerbcoFood LOL, didn’t need to!
I think this gin could turn some gin never bees, especially if mixed with a strawberry soda -

A sloe gin fizz is also an underappreciated drink.

HerbcoFood That is what my wife used to drink all the time when we were young.

Recently came across a way too make your own gin (aka bathtub gin… I think) from vodka. Definitely going to give it a try so I can tweak it into something that’s delicious. Just ordered some juniper berries which I’m sure I’ll find other uses for as well. Another spirit that I’m interested in trying my hand at is aquavit and variations of that.

I put Juniper Berries in my pickled eggs & pickled herring. I’ll smash a few when I sauté my sauerkraut with garlic, caraway seed and a pinch of cardamom.(don’t forget to add that dollop of butter!). -
Smoked Woodford Old Fashioned. Fancy like …

Surg You,ve got to put the smoke tube down into the drink for a bit first. I am just messing with you.

Actually you may be on to something. If I bubble it through I might not need to swirl it as much.

Surg Was just looking at drink smokers. Way to go. Had my first one in April down in Houston, TX while on a golf vacation. Yep, have to get one.

Someone please try this and tell me if it’s any good. I’d have to take out a second mortgage to buy some. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sam-adams-beer-utopias-illegal-15-states/

JohnG5 Wow, that’s stronger than wine. Sounds interesting though, but looks like no hope for us down this way for at least a long time. Pricey too, indeed!

JohnG5 It’s a Barleywine and they are generally very tasty when aged that long. I have a couple sitting down in my basement from probably 20 years ago from the Oregon Brewers Festival that were given out at an AHA Banquet. If you can afford it, it’s a worthwhile drink. Go here to see what’s in it. https://www.samueladams.com/our-beers/specialty-beers/ale/utopias

JohnG5 No beer is worth $240 in my world. Almost no booze is worth that much. Will have to take people’s word on it.

zbigjeff remember it’s no longer a beer at that ABV, it’s even higher than a fine wine, more like an aged cognac. The object with a barleywine is to let it age as long as possible and sip like a cognac. $240 a bottle is pricey, but it’s Jim Koch and he thinks a lot of himself and his products. I got my barleywines for free and they are 25 years old now.
