07/06 - Tsubasa Thursday!

Vodka, I love vodka. Otherwise rum or tequila.

 

haha, nah. whiskey is the only actual liquor i like. beer > whiskey >>>>>>>>>> cheap $5 wine that i buy to cook with then finish the rest of the bottle just because i hate wasting things.

 

I freeze leftover wine in a cheap ice cube tray and then put the cubes in a ziploc. It's easy to add them to a reciple later!

 

Tequila and I don't mix, pretty much at all. Rum, I don't really drink unless I'm looking to drink something with soda, which is pretty rare. Coconut rum and Dr. Pepper is pretty good. Not a fan of really any other rums. My brother loves The Kraken though. Vodka, I'll do Grey Goose on the rocks but that is about it.

 

Different folks, different strokes and all that. We all have varied tastes and that's what makes us aweeeeeesome.

I usally drink vodka or rum with seltzer and maybe a dash of juice or iced herbal tea. it's frou frou, I know, but it's tasty to me and not crazy calorie heavy. I haven't been able to enjoy Gin properly since 2 bad gin and tea incidents 5 years apart. The kraken is hella tasty though.

 

What kinda tea do people usually mix with gin? I love gin, never heard of that combo though

 

Not sure, but you should do it laid back.

 

Now I have to go listen to that lol

 

currently, have three different kinds of rum and 2 vodkas, as well as Baileys always have Baileys. Well honestly since Dave has decided he needs a home bar and to learn how to mix every drink known to man we have a ton of assorted alcohols but the rum, vodka, and Baileys are mine.

 

I mean, the basic gin and tea is gin with iced tea. My sister used to make it with the powdered kind of iced tea when I was a teenager and she was being the cool older sister. As a shot girl, I served a lot of gin/vermouth/iced tea/garnish type drinks that were tasty AF. I've also had limeade or lemonade with iced tea and gin. Earl grey martinis are delish. Tea martinis/gin and tea type drinks are super common from my experience, they even make tea infused gins.

 

It seems to be a very popular british drink lol.

hmmm never thought of tea and gin ...I like tea may have to try

 

I make tea infused vodkas that are super tasy as well. I literally soak tea leaves, vanilla bean, and fruit in vodka for a few days so that the vodka tastes like it. It's super delish. I love anything tea flavored!

 

..yuck.

I actually don't know many people who do Tequilla post-college haha.. something about the smell still gets me to this day

 

This was my reasoning when I settled on gin as my go-to

I'm uh.. I'm gonna pretend the first half of that post doesn't exist though.. 'cause my mouth started doing that weird-bad-watering thing just reading it. haha

 

Can confirm, Forty Creek is excellent bang for your buck. Also, I highly recommend Wiser's if you are on a budget, but like rye.

 

Has anyone done the Wittgenstein hits? How tough are they on rejecting things? Trying to get a gauge of how descriptive exactly I need to be.
