    didn't want to drink it straight >so on a hunch we mixed it with a liter of Root Beer>it tasted like MAGIC!

    50/50 >Southern Comfort - Root Beer

    i'm sure you can strengthen it for a harder kick

    WOW!!! That looks outstanding! I have NEVER even thought remotely along those lines. I mean, just that one video alone introduces so many great ideas, ie the 20% pre-dilution, adding milk then letting it curdle, the straining through a coffee filter, etc. Boom. Big batch of a chilled cocktail ready to serve en masse. I am DEFINITELY going to make that Christmas week.

    Lol. I hear ya. You just chilling out after Thanksgiving week or are you talking something more serious? Personally, I'm gonna dry out for the next few weeks since Christmas is right around the corner. Then go dry and healthy again come January. The alcohol isn't the only problem. I'd argue the increased sugar intake from the Holidays is just as bad! Haha. But both in conjunction's a recipe for not feeling so great. Especially egg nog + bourbon/rum, pies, cookies, wine, cocktails, etc non-stop for days. It's fun for a while but it sure does wear on ya quickly. It's no wonder New Year's Resolutions are a thing.

    I was out of Amoro this weekend so made a Paper Plane with Ancho Reyes Chile liquor. Was decent.

    We did this once on a whim with 50% margarita/50% negra modelo. Don't knock it without trying it first.

    Ehh I'm sticking my toes back in the water but pretty slowly. Team says that my liver enzymes are in the healthy range for a full-organed person my age, but I still lack the same number of hepatocytes as a normal person (the parenchymal cells that metabolize shit in your liver) - so, while I can drink (per their recommendations, in serious moderation), alcohol hits me about three times harder.

    This theory checks out as I had a half a Sam Smith beer over Thanksgiving and got pretty fucked up. I'm used to being a light weight (at 155lbs sopping wet) but this is a whole new level. So unless I am making cocktails for ants, it's not very practical.

    Bummer. Yeah, should def take it easy then. Is there hope of being able to recover your original hepatocyte capacity? It's my understanding that with the right diet, exercise, lots of water, watching it with prescription drugs, and of course abstaining from alcohol for a while, our livers can actually bounce back pretty well. I just don't know about those finer details like the ability to metabolize everything in the long run. Best of luck on your liver's full recovery!

    Root beer mixes well with Crown or Black Velvet as well. If you’re cheap use McNaughtan’s

    I've attempted root beer with a few things and about the only thing I've liked was when combined with a vanilla vodka. I called it a "root beer float." Tasty! Been like 20 years since I used to make that though, so not sure how much I'd like it these days as I've been doing less and less sweet the older I get. Might need to revisit that one... for research purposes of course.

    Speaking of sweet, have any of you ever tried the "chocolate cake shot"? It's simple. 1 part Frangelico, 1 part vanilla vodka. Most say to dip a lemon wedge in sugar, but I'd usually slice up a ton of lemon wedges and put them in a tupperware container with sugar and let it really soak in and get nice and gelatinous. Do the shot, suck on the lemon, and it tastes just like chocolate cake. Weird, but super tasty, and is ALWAYS a crowd pleaser with teh ladies.

    Yeah I'll be back to normal in a few months. Not stressed about it - just taking things as they come. Chocolate cake shots are delicious though, no two ways about it.

    Luckily you live in Utah so you can order a martini and it’s still only 1.5 oz of booze

    What a great drink. I haven’t had one in years.
    Love a good Paper Plane, most bars have a version of it these days.

    The Sporting CLub at the Omni Boston at the Seaport has a good version called "like a bos" high west american prairie bourbon / amaro nonino / aperol / fresh lemon
    Was at an event there a few weeks back and it was all I wanted

    And every gentleman should have Campari in his liquor cabinet so yo ucan make a guest a Negroni, or as I often make a great cocktail with a douchy name the Boulevardier which is basically a Negroni with Bourbon or Rye instead of Gin.

    And speaking of Unique Spirits, any Chartreuse fans in the house? Yellow or green, its always been the " oh you want a shot do ya" option. Brutal Erics in Aspen used to go through it by the case. Actually was in ther one night when the distributer told Fritz & Fred that they consumed more Chartreuse than any other bar in the Western US!

    Never felt the need to have a bottle on hand.

    Frenet though I like to have around for the medicinal value and if I feel the need for a Hanky Panky
    2 parts Gin, 2 parts Sweet Vermouth 1 part Frenet

    OK old timers, what was that AWFUL stuff that one of the Euro ( Dutch) mags visiting brought to a huge party at Frozenwaters place. This was likely 2003ish? Passed it around and it was awful.

    Love green Chartreuse. I make a mash up of a Last Word and a smoky Margarita:

    2oz Mezcal (or Tequila, or split half-half)
    3/4 oz Green Chartreuse
    3/4oz fresh lime juice
    1/4-1/2 oz simple syrup

    can add a few dashes of smoked chili bitters or orange bitters If desired.

    That was a hell of a night. And yes, that was quite loud, or should I say she was.

    One of the great hacks that gained awareness from Death & Co is that yellow Chartreuse is about the same sweetness as simple.

    For the Last Word and Paper Plane fans with access to yellow, Naked and Famous is the modern classic

    Equal parts
    Mezcal
    Aperol
    Yellow Chartreuse
    Lime juice

    Many like to play with the Aperol component although you have to mess with your ratios as well.
