Rodders Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 (edited) Experimented with cocktails. First up a negroni : gin, vermouth and campari with a slice of orange and a few ice cubes, was ok but needed something extra, maybe a sweeter support Next time swapped out the gin for Woodford Reserve bourbon and it was much nicer. They're sippers given the total lack of mixers! Now onto a single malt to finish, gone with Kilchoman, an Islay malt. Very nice Edited April 3, 2020 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 A very nice Malbec from Chateaux Aldi. I knew it would be good, cost the thick end of £6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try adding chocolate butters if you have them. Also, if your prefer it to be sweeter you could use an old Tom gin rather than a dry gin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to get some of this because I had it in a bar a few weeks ago and it was amazing, but waiting for it to appear on Amazon or somewhere at a decent price: Rum is the one thing I can find plenty of here. Haven’t tried that pineapple one but see it in the liquor stores. Might have to give it a go. Drinking a lot of the following right now: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Incidentally, do people like their rums neat? I can never get into sipping rum. Not even in a rum old fashioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I very rarely drink at home, much prefer social drinking. I’ve had beers in my fridge for probably at least a year. I’m the mood for a couple tonight, first off Fursty Ferret, not bad. I gave up drinking ales a while back as my stomach the next day regretted a fair few. But I’m sure one or two won’t hurt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharing with the missus, so 4 or 5 each, and yes we were smashed! Most of them are strong too, some 8% DIPAs, a 12% IS and a 16% iced distilled triple. You didn't notice that I swapped the tea towels around for you Edited April 8, 2020 by fightoffyour 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
