Whats Everyone Drinking Tonight!?!?

[AlisonBennett]

Hello, I'm gonna order drink from Sonic. You know there is a huge variety of Sonic Drink Flavours available. You should try at least once.

I had a pineapple whip that was very good.

But tonight it was a Manhattan and bubbly with the salmon.

A smoked old fashioned. With one big, round, clear ice cube.

I got a new toy. This has already melted down a bit because I already drank the drink. But it’s still pretty big and quite clear.

How did you smoke the drink?

[Johnny West]

I’m having a Manhattan. Today is National Pinot Noir day. I only have one bottle, it’s a good one, but hate to open it just for me.

How did you smoke the drink?

I have a smoking gun. I put cherry wood chips in (to go with the cherry in the drink), then set the smoke lid on top of the glass. Stick the end of the smoke tube through the hole in the top, light the gun, and let the glass fill with smoke.

How did you smoke the drink?

Here's the set up. On the right is the smoking gun. Fill the glass with your drink. Put the wood chips in the top of the gun

, turn it on and light it. The smoke pumps through the hose, through the hole in the disc on the glass, and into the drink.

I've had the gun for years. Just got the plastic lids for the glasses.

John, have you ever used a Coravin? It inserts a needle through the cork, allowing you to pour off a single glass, and save the bottle up to 2 years.

Since I'm the only wine drinker in my house, I could never drink the variety of wines if I had to finish the bottle. I'd be drunk all the time!

It's especially useful for 'special' bottles. I can have just 1 or 2 glasses and save the rest for another occasion.

 

[Johnny West]

I’ve not heard of that and will look into getting one. Thanks for the tip.

Last night’s wine, a 2019, Wine Spectator 92 pointer… we had two bottles and loved it. I’ll try and find a better picture. Our waiter decanted it.

In honor of my friend Mary's birthday, I had her favorite cocktail (my homegrown skinny celery).

[Johnny West]

I’m on my own tonight and had two of these at Applebees…

 

[Sass Muffin]

I'm drinking Stella Artois.
Hopefully I don't plow through the entire 6.
Lol

Two were my limit.

It’s always a treat to find this pils locally. We vacationed in Schleswig Holstein and been to Flensburg.

I do but the dishwasher has washed off most of the blue coloring. It was a memorable vacation With swimming in the North Sea.

 

[Johnny West]

We went to the German shop for a few things for Sunday dinner and picked up several bottles.

 

[Johnny West]

I have a fire going to grill brats. First up is a pils.

 

[Johnny West]

And two HB Oktoberfest biers…

 

[Sass Muffin]

I'm having some of the Coffee Mate caramel iced coffee. It's good and not too sweet.

 

[Johnny West]

Last night’s wine with the steak.

 

[QSis]

This should get me through the second half of the Pats game. *sigh*

Viognier with my Stone crab

 

[RobCooks]

My regular is Canadian Club with lemon seltzer. 4th generation Scottish American. We drink the same stuff, have a decently healthy life and die in our sleep. Far be it from me to break tradition! But an occasional cold bottle of beer at a BBQ is nice, too.

I like Canadian Mist as a mixer and flask filler.

tonight it’s the last of a bottle of oysters and Rangpur martinis. I’m out of vodka….

Finished the Beaux Frères tonight, one of the best pino noir’s I’ve had.
