what are you drinking tonight?

[sdfernando]

Today I got up at 5:30am and drive from San Diego to the San Fernando Valley (Woodland Hills to be exact). Lots of you know this is long drive due to the wonderful traffic through Orange County and LA. Took almost 4 hours. So I worked all day on a network upgrade and got back to my hotel about 9pm. Stressed and tired so I'm having one of my favorite drinks. Had to tell the bartender how to make it (luckily the bar had all the ingredients). It's a Veaux Carré.....yum!

1. Nothing. Zip. Nada.

I know... boring

[sdfernando]

3. not even water? /nt

[ailsagirl]

4. I thought you meant strictly alcoholic...

Sure, water and milk (sounds awful!)

[onecaliberal]

2. Pepsi.

[sdfernando]

5. I prefer diet coke or

Ginger Ale. The Veaux Carré is a rare indulgence.

9. I definitely prefer Pepsi. Haven't touched a drop of an adult beverage in over 13 years.

6. Just a good shot of bourbon in dinner's coffee...

and the Veaux Carré is maybe the one drink where I have none of the ingredients.

7. I find that it is usually the bitters that are the problem

Most places will have one or the other, but not both.

8. Luksusowa

and orange seltzer.

10. You could at least have the common decency to let us ignorant sinners know what's in it! Jeez!

As for me? The water of life baby! Jameson sloppy. Neat is no ice. Sloppy is no glass....

[sdfernando]

11. well I figured that everyone here is savvy enough to

Know the google machine....but since you are "sloppy" maybe you can't type? 😜

Here you go:


1/2 teaspoon Benedictine
1 dash Peychaud's bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters
3/4 ounce rye whiskey
3/4 ounce cognac
3/4 ounce sweet vermouth

[Glamrock]

12. Sounds tasty!

And yeah, sloppy = lazy. But I appreciate you lettin me know!

[shenmue]

13. Water

I so miss the days when I could afford good craft beer and vodka.

14. slushy milk. had some hot cereal due to cold before i hit bed.

apparently this is genetic. my great-aunt liked super cold milk. cold not enough.
now. if its booze. i'd want a pink pussycat. grapefruit can, whiskey + that pink sweet stuff. brandy wimpy, bourbon ok.
