OT - Good sipping drinks? Not for under 21. - Page 5 - The Orange Mane

elsid13 · 11-25-2010, 07:28 AM

I just picked up a bottle of Sobieski, Polish Rye Vodka, that I heard a lot of good things about. Best part, is that the distiller wants the Vodka to be high quality (4 time distilled) at good price. So it was 12 bucks for a litter.

But you haven't really experienced nastiness until you've had National Bohemian Ice and/or Mad Dog Buck Bunny...

I've had MD 20/20, but not Buck Bunny. Maybe I'll try it just to remind myself what throwing up feels like.

It's probably the worst flavor, and that's saying a lot.

Hints of Jager and flat root beer come to mind...

Bigdawg26 · 11-25-2010, 08:04 AM

I haven't had MD 20/20 in years! Actually Jager and root beer isn't bad. But I'm more of a crown man myself. If you I want to switch it up I'll get bombay sapphire and cranberry.

Took me a while to figure out that it's pronounced "graw-mahn-YEA".

I tend to do Bombay sapphire, tonic, and a splash of cranberry for color.

Ever hear Jim Rome talk about Bombay Sapphire?

He talks about it like it's HEROIN, saying "Have one... two if you must... but NEVER more than that, because you'll feel so great you'll never stop".

No I haven't, but I'll look it up on Youtube. If you find it feel free to post it up.

The kids at bars around here are doing a lot of shots that Red Stag stuff.

Not sure how it is as a sipper though.

Royal Flush: equal parts of crown, peach schnapps and cranberry juice.

Had Michter's Straight Rye last night in Steamboat, at a little place called Bella's. That stuff blew my mind. Anyone else had it? Know where I can get some in Denver?

Don't waste it with mixing. Chill it and drink her naked!

I'm usually drink it on the rocks or with a little tonic water.

misturanderson · 11-26-2010, 10:36 AM

I love a good whiskey straight up, but I just cannot see the interest in straight vodka. The point of the stuff is to be as flavorless as possible so all you end up tasting is the ethanol. To each his own I guess.

My favorite sipping drink that I have been able to afford so far (as a college student with no money) would be Balvenie 12 year old doublewood, but I'm venturing into the single-barrel bourbons and have found a few that are decent, but I can't remember the names off the top of my head, just the bottles.

gyldenlove · 11-26-2010, 11:34 AM

I hate sipping, the only time I drink not to get drunk is this, preferably after it has had fresh walnuts in it for 6 months for flavour and color.

Any decent liquor store will have it. It's not hard to find. And yes, its delicious.

HILife · 09-01-2012, 09:30 AM

And it's back. Right now I'm knocking back some Jack Daniels just to change it up.

I tried Gentalmen Jack last night...mixed it with some diet coke..pretty good..

BowlenBall · 09-01-2012, 11:11 AM

Great thread... and for a few of you, get ready, because this is about to become 'your drink'.....

Serve a few fingers over a chunk of ice or two. Yes, it's a little more expensive, but oh Jesus, Mary, and Joseph is it worth it!
