Who's drinking what tonight?

[rgbeard]

Just killed a nice chateauneuf du pape, and working on a Pinot Noir.

Had something new at lunch today: Maker's, chai tea and steamed milk. It was wuuuuunderful.

Chai tea and I don't get along well (there was a whole didn't-know-I-had-the-flu, drank-a-Chai-tea, relived-it-an-hour-later incident a few years back)...BUT, the idea of bourbon and milk came up last night during a pre-Oscar interview with Emma Stone. She mentioned drinking "milk punch" on the set of one of her movies. To the interwebs! I found this recipe and will be testing it this coming weekend:

Milk Punch
Adapted from Canal House, v.2

5 cups of a mixture of whole milk and half-and-half (4:1 is suggested, but I might go more like 3:2 next time)
1 1/2 cups bourbon, another whiskey or brandy
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish.

In a pitcher, whisk together milk, half-and-half, bourbon, sugar and vanilla. Freeze until slushy, which will take 3 to 4 hours, but you can leave it in there up to a day. Stir before serving it in chilled glasses, finished with a few gratings of fresh nutmeg.

Yep!  Being a sometimes New Orleanian, I discovered bourbon milk punch years ago; a regular offering at most restaurants. It's a great change from the standard mimosas if you're hosting a brunch.

I was pleased to discover the warm drink yesterday, however, as it's nice for wintertime.

Bourbon and Milk is cited as the drink-of-choice for "Bob Berringer" (played by Alec Baldwin) in State and Main.

I'm gonna try that for sure.  


Going with an old standby tonight.  It's cheap beer, but I've developed a taste for it at least once a winter.  One case is usually enough to get me around to next winter when I crave it again.

Need to hit Binny's. The fridge is bare.

I'm not drinking this tonight- I'm into the Irish Creme.  

A buddy moved into a foreclosure and this was in there:

It's a real still-sealed German bottle of Jager.  It's not worth anything other than drinking, right?

Boulevard wheat with a orange slice, taking it easy at the local bikinis bar.

Das ist sehr gut, meine freund!  

Especially when combined with peach schnapps and cranberry juice to make a red-headed slut. Yummy!

I need to try that.  I've never been real impressed with it straight.

You are talking about the red-headed slut rite?

I once asked world famous bartender Murray Stenson "what's in a red headed slut?" and his immediate response was "three drunken frat boys?"

Let's put it this way.

I probably shouldn't be posting tonight.

It is very much morning and judging by what I've seen you posting.....

you're right.

FYI, when you get like this I quote and keep things for later diabolical use.

For some of you, maybe.

I'm a vampire now and then, bitch. Deal with it.

Ever had a Lindsey Lohan? It's a red headed slut with a little coke in it

Why does that not suprise me.
