So Mrs. Glorydayz bough me a "So you're going to retire" gift. It's pretty tasty..

There's a Super Bowl Champions and KC logo on that glass. I know it looks "classy" being white but you can't even see it with a drink in there. Wish they made these darker.

That looks mighty tasty!

A pleasant surprise of a gift from a scuba student. Saving it for my retirement (from my regular job) trip to Roatan to celebrate with some pretty good nectar..

Another 'cooler weather' suggestion. There are several brands that make 'spiced' dark rum. I have enjoyed all of them I've tried. Your Rum and Coke will have a nice punch, and I drink mine in a 'snifter' and sip it like high dollar whiskey. Not real spendy, a decent mixer for not much money - and I'm not really tempted to overdo it. These are all good things. https://www.liquor.com/best-spiced-rums-5079515

Just sipping on a little bit of Jameson's straight up out of the freezer.

FIL was gifted this whiskey smoking kit from his job and has no interest. He drinks soda with his bourbon. Pretty cool little setup, made a hickory smoked old fashioned. Pretty good overall, will find what wood I end up liking best outta this little set

Made a friend at my job who's big into bourbon scored me some EH Taylor. Drinking it now and it's the best bourbon I've had hands down

Thursday night met up with a former colleague from Amazon and had cigars and Oban 18 year at Fox Cigar bar.

A very nice evening

Not a drinker, but thought this would be a good place to share with those that are. Would anyone try this?

Doritos thinks we want nacho cheese-flavored booze

I'd be more than willing to try it. I'm becoming very fond of some of these flavored offerings.. Loke this one, man is it good..

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9ec13496ba.jpg

I'm going to have a wee nip of this stuff... Man I love teaching Scuba; Dewar's a couple of months ago, now this from another student..

Life is good.. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...cdbd77f85d.jpg

Headed to a Christmas party tonight one of our friends puts on. It’s one the best parties I go to all year. I’ll mostly drink beer tonight, but will absolutely have a bourbon or 2 by end of the evening. My buddy is a Four Roses guy, so I’ll bring a bottle we can share (I like the single barrel).

That Four Roses is a nice pour.

I usually buy myself a nice bottle of bourbon for Christmas, but I was feeling a nice tequila ought to do the trick this year. Fantastic stuff neat. Don't know that I'll do much in the way of mixed drinks with this one. They built a new Bubbles over like 5 mins from me and this was their store pick. Bubbles on North Oak was always a favorite when I lived closer and had friends that lived over there.

Zaya Gran Reserva 16 Year Old Rum

https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-gr83...1644275710.jpg

That can't taste bad. I haven't looked into rum too much but I'll keep that one in mind.

Vodka, Heavy Cream and Kahlúa, man.

It's a nice sipping rum without breaking the bank. I think it was only $34.

I picked up a bottle of this last weekend. Not bad vodka.

In KC visiting family and need to pickup some beer tomorrow. What local brewers are worth trying out that I would find at the liquor store?

Have to go to brewery, but BKS in Brookside is really good. Roughly 63rd and Troost.

KC Bier Co should be on your radar

I've been drinking Old Charter 8 year this week - good whiskey for the money, a little smoother than my 'regular pour' Evan Williams. But it's the holiday season! Tomorrow night it'll be Old Weller 'green label'. I'll move back to Evan Williams asap.

Picked up a bottle of Magistrate Sauvignon Blanc, Jagermeister, Dempsey's Irish Cream and Dempsey's Whiskey.

Didn't make it to Total Wine for my Obam 18yr, about 100 people in line at the store.

Grabbed one of these nugget ice makers on sale around Xmas

Crushing scratch cherry limeades this afternoon

^^^^^^ Dudeeee nice. I have a sonic a couple minutes from me and buy 20 lbs of their ice at a time for like 6 bucks. I should look into that countertop model but I'm not mad at the current setup. Gives me an excuse to go to Sonic and pick up a Cherry Limeade like this morning.

Nugget ice life is a thing. I can't go back to my old ways. I am having a weak vodka/rasp lemonade in my sonic cup to get started.

Having an aviation cocktail as well as a caipirinha. So good

You guys drinking those summertime drinks are brave.

I've been freezing my balls off all week in Vegas and cranked up the heat as soon as I got home a few hours ago.

I'm doing some scotch to stay warm.

Cinder block did good on this one

Makers 46

That's a stud drink. I've been sticking with vodka and beer to maintain but when we win I see a nice bourbon drink in my future.

Do it warm yourself up

Just made one. cheers

Cheers!

You know I'm getting warm right now ya bishhh

Same I'm about 4 in

Colorado Bulldog at the Wynn

T'was wings and Bombay/diet tonic for me.

If I win one of my parlay's today I'll be buying a nice 15 year bottle of Macallen.

Savor your victories kids...

I downed 3 beers in the last 8 minutes of the game last night. No idea why.

If you can swing your current setup I'd probably just stick with it

This thing makes great ice and I'm loving it, but its a heavy beast so haven't fully decided where I'm going to keep it permanently. And it takes a bit to fill the bin, like an hour plus. So I run it on Saturdays and just stock pile the ice for the week

Im having a few Batangas. It's a pretty tasty drink that is easy with stuff you probably have around the house. I did 86 the salt-rimmed glass as I don't like all that salt much.

That guy is a trip but knowledgeable. I watch a lot of his shorts on mixed drinks ice cream drinks and coffee. He also does a lot of Scotch whisky reviews. I just used a nearly full bottle I had around of Kirkland Torkillya Anejo. I will probably feel it in the morning but right now feeling good.

Missed poker night tonight with some of the boys... Wasn't gonna get there till damn near 11pm, and while they said they were going till 2am, I didn't feel like playing catch up just to socialize for an additional 3 hours assuming they stayed true to the 2am calling...

So.... Its vodka straight for me atm.

Scored some Wellers & Buffalo Trace. While it's still "allocated" I'm able to get it every 2 weeks. Interesting enough I'm able to score Blantons monthly lately as well

It is getting hot now in KC. Good for the Long Island ice tea.

That's some potent shit for summertime and heat..

I'm a huge Alabama Slammer or Kamikaze or Frozen Margarita fan in the summer.

Well bourbon and cigars are pretty potent on hot summer days also. I don't see a big difference here.

Those drinks you mention are fine but I'll have my Marg over rocks no salted rim. I want a slush I go to 7-11.

Follow it up with a LIT?

You golf so your gonna tell me you never had a LIIT at the 19th hole after a hot day. One at the turn if the day is going bad?

Have I had a LIT? Sure, when I was young, inexperienced, and poor.

Made a Mary Pickford cocktail last night.

I use overproof rum so I do a 2:1 pineapple juice to rum ratio.

I'm having a strawberry pineapple Mio and vodka water. Did yardwork earlier in this heat and am on a nice cool path now.

Stepping into a frosty house and having a cold shower after you've been out sweating is one of life's real treats.

I'll agree with srvy here. I will have a LIIT every once in a great while. Potent and refreshing in the right settings.

Creamy coconut Dr. Pepper. Shit’s amazing.

What has that got to do with anything as long as it's good?

I drink so little soda, maybe 2-3 a year, but that sounds good even to me.

Rum would kick it up a notch.
