IPAs are my favourites. Most of the aroma and taste of beer comes from hops. And IPAs are the richest in aroma. It makes it possible to taste and smell beer like you would wine - identifying aromas.

I'm not a big fan of the really bitter IPAs though. I like them more aromatic rather than just bitter.

I like good, quality vodka and tonics if I'm in a drinking mood or social setting. If I'm just sitting at home staring at the walls, either some merlot or decent beer will do the trick.

I don't drink Jack or Southern Comfort anymore. Too many bad experiences. JD angries up the blood too much and got me in trouble and Southern almost killed me. Twice.

White Russians are my favorite drink.

I don't drink anymore, but back in the day I would down all the the Long Island Iced Tea I could get.......

Which explains a lot of stupid things I did, because that stuff sneaks up on you.

The beer thread just keeps on rollin', no love for the stronger stuff? Or any other type of alcohol, for that matter - I just thought of something that I thought was quite odd. A couple of years ago I was on holiday in Croatia, and I was at the bar waiting to be serviced - Then I hear this woman ordering something in Croatian - the name didn't really sound familiar. Well, the bartender took a pint glass, and starting pouring Coca Cola from tap into the glass - he stopped half-way, went over to the red wine tap and filled up the rest! Apparently it's a very popular drink, especially among women aged 40+. You guys think that combination could work? I've said to myself that next time I'm in Croatia (which I am often), I'm gonna' have to order one of those - it wasn't expensive either, since they use some local stuff.

Would you guys drink it, if offered one for free?

I think the wine + Coke mix is a mediterranean thing. The Spanish call it Calimocho. Usually you use the cheapest wine available. It tastes like you would think wine mixed with Coke would. Sugary and grapey. I don't like soda pop, so I wouldn't even consider wasting wine like that.

THE MOST DELICIOUS SHOT IN THE WORLD:

You will need:

Licor 43 (or Galliano)
Coffee (instant is fine)
Canned whipped cream

Fill a shot glass halfway with Licor 43 (or galliano), fill with hot coffee - top with cream. It's the only shot in the world you actually WANT to take

I think this guy is the funniest and best when it comes to whiskey reviews. He's said in the future he'll do ones on tequilas, vodka, gin, brandy, etc:

Love those reviews!!! That youtube channel helped me a lot as I was starting to try out single malts. Love me that amber nectar of the gods.

Lately I've also been on a classic martini kick. I made a couple earlier tonight for my dad and myself... and wow did that kick my ass big time. Good night lol.

Irish Car Bomb.

I've actually been on a Scotch / Whiskey kick for the last couple of months (only went on a bender with beer around Christmas, as I got 2 free cases of Toohey's Extra Dry from some of my work suppliers).

Had a couple glasses last night of Wild Turkey American Honey. Also been downing Black Doughlas, Johnny Walker Red Label & Jack Daniels.

Also currently have a bottle of Johnny Walker Green Label (present from a friend of mine) that I've yet to tuck into.

Oh, I know the feeling of being on a Whiskey kick, Sideshow - when you find the right whiskey it's hard to stop - I usually stick to some quality blended varieties, mostly Grant's or on ocassion Tullamore Dew - I do like single malts, but I never bother to purchase them myself.

I'm on a huge Gin/Tonic kick right now, BTW

I don't like most stronger alcohol, can't stand vodka and tequilla (i once had a very, very bad encounter with it). So i limit myself basically to Whisky, Whiskey and Rum.
My favourite whisky is Talisker, the older the better. I also like Caol Ila, Bowmore and Laphroaig
When it comes to american stuff, i like Jack Daniel's and Maker's Mark
And with Rum i prefer Brugal, in my oppinion the best, followed by Flor de Cana.

And on occasion i also like red wine, i prefer Bardolino (italian)

I guess i now sound like a complete Drunkard
