Gemmill 34301 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I've been drinking some of that Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey. Thought it was really nice to start with but it's crazy sweet so you can only really have it in moderation. Gets a bit much after a couple.

Gemmill 34301 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I haven't had southern comfort in a long time, but I don't remember it being particularly sweet? This on the other hand is almost like a mead. Think it bills itself as a honey liqueur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 30330 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I like honey but I always find it a bit minging in liqueurs. Most recent one I tried was a Raki-based one in Crete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Got my dark rum and white rum in to make my Xmas Mai Tais, but also need something called orgeat syrup and orange curaçao. Will I get these at a local supermarket? Have a horrible feeling Ive asked this before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 3997 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 the orange curacao you will It seems some recipes call for orange curaçao and some for triple sec. A quick google says they are virtually the same thing. A further google says that Contreau is the best known triple sec do Im assuming that will do?

Howmanheyman 26723 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) Had a few bottles of McEwan's No1 Champion last night whilst chilling to some music and enjoying our new mein kampfy settee*. I really recommend this drink if you like dark ales, we used to brew and bottle this drink on occasion at the Tyne Brewery but it originates from the old Fountain Brewery in Edinburgh. It's obviously been sold off by Heineken, (who took over S&N) to an independent small Brewer in Edinburgh but it's still a superb drink. 7.3% abv it'll get you super chilled out in no time and put hairs on your chest, take it from me. Two bottles for £3 in Asda or £1.70 a pop. (500Ml) * I fell asleep on the settee and crawled to bed at three when I awoke.

Dr Gloom 19770 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Champagne cocktails with sugar cubes and bittersweet lined up for Christmas Day. Might do some old fashioneds for late doors too. I'm a big believer in good bourbon. Often prefer it to scotch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 26723 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 As regards the Schooner it's just tradition to top it up maybe in the belief you'll get a better drink. The Dog bit I'm assuming you already know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
