Time to jump off of the water wagon.

I’ll pour some bourbon on my strawberry shortcake and enjoy the treat after I retrieve the colors, then call it a day.

[Hat-Trick]

Thank you for the reminder!

No problem with that! Bourbon or Scotch is a different animal.

Harry Callahan: You know what makes me really sick to my stomach?
Burly Detective: What?
Harry Callahan: Is watching you stuff your face with those hot dogs. Nobody, I mean NOBODY puts ketchup on a hot dog.

Wild Turkey 101 will get it done.

[dfwgator]

Exactly the scene I was thinking of.

[kosciusko51]

I figured that might be the case, as it was the first thing I thought of when I saw your comment. :-)

[ctdonath2]

Yes, that will do. Though, if you’ve got it, Eagle Rare please. Blanton’s if you really want me happy.

Someone gave me a half gallon of Jim Beam. I don’t drink liquor and I rarely drank bourbon. But if I catch a cold.....

[AppyPappy]

“They probably also put ketchup on a hot dog. “

Or a good steak :)

[nicollo]

Oh, well, I’ll just have to watch you bourbon drinkers from afar while sipping Jack Daniels.

[Pontiac]

I wish I could honor this holiday properly but I am working tonight.

[Sans-Culotte]

Vive les Bourbons!

[nicollo]

But if I did pour a bourbon it'd be...

Rum and Coke is fine. Nyet on the bourbon.

My daughter interned at the US embassy in Barbados for a summer. Said the local rum was superb.

There’s two ways to mix a martini: in a shaker, or with a stirrer. Shaken martinis atomize and fully mix the flavors. Stirred don’t atomize so the flavors layer instead of mixing. Think of it as the difference between a peanut butter cup where you taste the chocolate and peanut butter together but still as two flavors, and a peanut butter cup milkshake where you taste chocolate peanut butter as one. Most of the experts actually think stirred is better. Originally Bond was being a bit of a rebel, going against the norm. Of course he’s a major enough pop culture figure that he became the norm. I still like shaken better, but stirred is definitely prettier (stirring doesn’t cloud the liquid).

The Booker’s at 128 proof is a stiff drink. A bit of a burn at first, but otherwise quite good.

[Kickass Conservative]

Actually it’s Flag Day and it is also the 71st Birthday of the current POTUS Donald J. Trump.

Did I mention that he doesn’t drink Bourbon or any other Alcoholic Beverage?

[lurk]

Blender v. spoon. Got it. Thanks.
