Crazy Drinks

[delights]

You need

3/4 of vodka and 1/4 of syrup of fir-tree.

Serve very fresh.

Then the test.  After being introduced to gin and tonic, a superior drink, I was deemed ready for martinis.

I can't believe you were introduced to scotch BEFORE martinis. It seems to me that martinis should come before scotch. Scotch seems to be the drink of choice for people who have tried everything else under the sun and have finally found "the one".

And the wines!! I'm envious of your drinking education ;-) mine was learned the hard way.

My three favorites now are:

1.  Tanqueray martini with olives

2.  Scotch and water in equal measures

3.  Tanqueray and tonic with lemon (summertime only)

It took me until 30 to like the taste of scotch.

My 3 favorites are:

1. A really fresh, really hoppy PNW micro, or something Belgian, like a wit or a geuze.

2. Really expensive wine that I didn't have to pay for.

3. Anything Nightscotsman makes.

I'm 45 and still don't like the taste of scotch.
