It's my birthday! This calls for an imparting of knowledge.
Here's my "best of" list for alcohol. Keep in mind that my experience is limited, and most of what I've had is cheap. Disagree with my choices? Tell me about it in the comments section.
Whiskey:
Crown Royal. I don't like whiskey in general, but this is one I can tolerate.
Rum:
Parrot Bay. Ok, it doesn't taste like rum- it tastes like coconut, but it tastes amazing with coke.
Vodka:
I've had some good ones... but I can't for the life of me remember them...
Tequila:
This is a joke. There's no such thing as a good tequila. This is the Devil's Liquor!
Wine:
I really enjoy a good German Riesling. My favorite so far was a bottle of Relax.
Mixed Drink:
Amaretto Sours. This was the first alcohol that I actually enjoyed!
Beer:
Ok, I'm not a fan of traditional beers, but my favorite would be Amber Bock and I have to give a shout out for Dos Equis (XX). For non-traditional, I looooove Smirnoff Ice. Of course, since I haven't tried Sam Adams, this may all change. Since we share a name, I was saving trying it until my 21st. Guess I should go for it!
Hard Cider:
Woodchuck, all the way!
Love,
Slayre
P.S. Happy Mother's Day
You know, I'd be fine with your list, if it weren't for that pitiful excuse for a wine you have up there. White wine is absolute crap. Blush, is crap. The only good wine is red wine. Try a good Merlot or Pinot Noir, and then get back to me.
ReplyDeletered stripe!hooooray beer!
ReplyDeleteWell, for one thing, I agree with taylor. Red wine is great. And Skyy vodka is my favorite. If you've had it, you probably liked it. But you don't remember. Which is a major side effect of good vodka. And we should soon use your 21-ness to have a fun weekend.

ReplyDeleteTake two...
ReplyDeleteOkay, you blasphemer, tequila is made by the gods. It is, read your mythology, they just love to reward and torture us humans, sometimes at the same time and tequila is the perfect tool/weapon for doing the deity dirty work.
I don't like vodka, so sure, your choice is good there, and I will give you Wood Chuck but everyone knows you have not lived (or killed off part of your liver and a kidney or two) until you have a friend that makes homemade mead :)
psst, oh yeah and try Ravenswood Zinfandel, old vine if you can get it...yum
...and I hope you had a really good birthday
oops!
ReplyDeletehappy belated!
