![[image loading]](http://archives.quarrygirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/kates-joint-white-russian-570x494.jpg) My drink of choice is of course, the white russian. If it's good enough for the dude, it's certainly good enough for me. I generally use kahluah for the coffee liquor. I've tried it with some of the fancier italian coffee liquors, but it's not enough of a flavor difference to justify the pricetag. For my Vodka, I never completely cheap out. I have 3-4 bottles of vodka generally, depending on what I'm making with it (my bar consists mostly of vodka; as it's my favorite). If I'm planning on drinking socially (that is to say, multiple drinks) I generally go with the kettle one. If I'm making it for company or for a nice meal, I might go ahead and make it with the grey goose. Something really good to do if you like vanilla is to put a capful of vanilla etract in your white russian (I first had this with vanilla vodka, but I don't think flavored vodkas are generally that good, so I don't keep them in the house); it's delicious. I also enjoy a simple soda/vodka. My favorite is vodka with gingerale. If I'm using a lighter flavor soda like gingerale, lemonlime, etc, I'll go ahead and either grey goose or absolut. If I'm using a heaver soda like rootbeer that covers up the vodka more, I will use kettle one. Another great drink that's great for a session drink is rootbeer/vodka with vanilla etract. I've been on a kind of beer kick lately, though. I've been finding I really some craft beers (I never liked bud, coors, miller, etc). My favorite thusfar has been Founders Dirty Bastard scotch ale and Bells black note stout (both local michigan brews) | ||

The Reinheitsgebot is awesome and everything, but just because you have to use certain ingredients does not mean that you can't make shitty stuff with them. I live in Vienna right now, and my German friends have told me all about the shitty beer you can get. I am sure that it is better than the worst American 'beers' (e.g. Milwaukee's Best Ice or Natural Ice or Olde English or whatever) but that does not mean that it is good. edit: For context, I love beer. I have lived in Washington state, Oregon, California, Granada (Spain), and Vienna (Austria), drinking beer the whole time. I love the beer that I get here in Europe, but I cannot agree with the widespread belief that the United States does not have good beer. I have been to a little riverside brewery in a small town in Washington that made IPAs that will knock you out of your seat. Some of the best dark beer I have ever had was in Bend, Oregon. | ||

I really enjoy Amaretto with cola, it kinda reminds me of Dr Pepper but not really. And yes I say amaretto as I have learned this week that Dissarono is a brand of Amaretto (lol I'm retarded). Either way they didn't have that at the place I went but they did have Gozio, which is apparently of similar quality albeit slightly less sweet. I dunno, I like it ^^ ![[image loading]](http://www.aatiffany.com/images/GOZIO%20AMARETTO.jpg) This guy. | ||

Really can't beat the price, and Seagram's makes a pretty decent liquor if you're going to be mixing it into a cocktail. My preferred drink is whiskey (all kinds, bourbon, scotch, irish) but even Seagram's whiskey goes great with ginger ale, and it's about the same price as their gin. If I'm going to spend more on alcohol I usually buy Jameson or Bushmills. I have a bottle of Glenlivet 12 in the cabinet that I drink every once in a while as well. Beer wise I usually stick to Amberbock or Yuengling. I picked up a case of Sam Adam's Summer Ale and was pleasantly surprised. It has a very refreshing taste. Ended up buying another case when my friends and I took a boat out into the bay for the day.

My favorite unusual cocktail right now is probably the Aviation: 2 oz gin, 1/2 oz lemon juice, 1/4 oz maraschino, 1/4 oz creme de violette. Not exactly easy to get at a bar! I'm also a fan of experimenting with Manhattans by trying not only different bourbons and ryes (and bitters), but substitues for the vermouth, such as Punt e Mes, or other tonic wines, or even amaro. THAT is awesome. Love the aesthetic you have going on there. Would be thrilled to find a local bar with the same thing going on. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/RVWCd.jpg) My throphy rack, so to speak :D Please note, that i was first allowed to buy these bottles about a month ago, due to age limtiations (20 years for anything over 22% alcohol) It feeds, it grows, and it clouds all that i will know! And it is fucking awesome :D | ||

However, my #1 favorite drink is Magic Hat #9. I'm not a huge drinker by any means, but when I do drink, it's generally Magic Hat. Oh, and I've actually had Bells before as well (worked at Rothbury/Electric Forest Music Fest) and it was reallllly good. | ||
