It is supposed to be in the negative double digits tonight. Decided to pull out a bottle of some German schnapps, this one is pretty clean tasting, most are an acquired taste. It will warm you up.
YooperDog you’ve peaked my interest. Last schnapps I had was DeKuyper peach schnapps a loooong time ago. Is that like a brandy?

Surg Yes. Not like the typical US schnapps, sweet and syrupy. You can taste the essence of the pear in this one, but it is clean and light. I found a distillery in Milwaukee, WI, I think called Great Lakes Distillery that makes a pretty comparable one. But the other fruits I only found in Germany. I have been real slow in using up some of my liquors from when I was stationed overseas. Can’t find many of them over here.
I gifted my last bottle of Thai whisky to a Thai friend, I sure wish I had one bottle of that left. Nothing fancy but it was unique, I think it was called Mekong.

GWG8541 Never saw that brand of cherries on the shelf. How do they compare to the Luxardo’s?
-
GWG8541 Heck of a stock for a visibly popular guy! If you get too much, I can help relieve the pressure to try it all now.
calldoctoday I like having the variety for sure. I’m beginning to think some people believe I have a drinking problem.

YooperDog that sounds delicious on a cold day. I went out yesterday for muzzleloader and would have enjoyed that at the end of the day.

calldoctoday GWG8541 Begging doesn’t work around here for some reason. People are just sitting back watching both the snow and the bottle level fall at this time of year.

zbigjeff That is hilarious. Well, I will just have to have another sip of my Old Forrester 101 & Cider, with a touch of Nutmeg!

calldoctoday I can boast about doing the same thing. But, with Old Elk on ice. Just watching it flurry a bit with a strong wind. Isn’t it grand?

calldoctoday that sounds like a good combo. My only problem is I left my cider on the porch to cool down and discoverered it froze, so I’m waiting for the big thaw. An Irish coffee may be a substitute tonight.

zbigjeff can you keep the cold weather up in the north part of the state. I went out for muzzleloader yesterday and man was it cold. Setting outside in the teens used to be OK, but the bones seem to get colder as I get older.

GWG8541 There you go. My son heats it up a bit & it goes down real nice. Feels good when working up in this cold office.

An underrated beer, for some reason always in short supply at my local grocer.

Depends on your age, “Snubbys” were introduced in the late 50’s through the 60’s and were thought of as kind of strange looking alternative to long necks
Snubbys were/are easier to ship and reduce breakage but just don’t feel like a normal beer bottle to meGive a man a fish and he eats for a day
