Food & Drink What are you currently drinking?

It's Friday night, so;


and coke pepsi max

 

Can't drink those fake rums, too sweet.

But if you get bitten by the bug then it's not much more to get into some decent real stuff.

Diplomatico reserva exclusive or angoustora 1919 are popular gateway rums

 

60ml of rum + 60 - 100ml of pepsi max + half a lime per glass, knocks the sweetness right down.
I'll stick with bourbon for proper drinking.

 

I drink Cuban Rum's

https://www.thewhiskyexchange.com/p/4512/legendario-7-elixir-de-cuba-rum-punch Not to be mixed with anything!! Sweet , lots of depth and just outright amazing.

Also Havana Club 7 yr ( in most supermarkets) we seem to get through a fair bit of.

 

I'd be interested to try that, but not enough to drop that sort of money on a bottle

 

I cycled around Cuba a few years ago ... its was about £1.50 a bottle!! I drank more than my quota on that trip .. and then some. That said .. if you like you Rum's its worth paying.

 

Have you seen the price of cigars recently

 

And if the talk of lifting the US embargo does go ahead, the prices will only go up further as the US will hoover up all the stocks that they can get their hands on.

 

Another one we have drunk . Asda sells it where i live.


I picked up one of these at Madeira airport couple weeks ago. https://www.drinksdirect.com/bacard...41524377&pk_content=117766377572&pk_term=2580 Not something id seen before but it was nice "was". Defo a mixer though. Also had a bottle of Madeiran Rum.. was awful

 

Does make the toast soggy though.

 

A few weeks ago a friemd mentioned another Welsh whisky brand besides Penderyn, but he couldn't remember what they were called. Thank you for plugging that knowledge gap - I'll have to look into this brand!

 

Their salted toffee liquor is to die for darling, although does feel a little thin

 

I've just had a glass of Courvoisier VSOP, lovely stuff.

 

Perlerbacher 0% lager

 

Currently £30 on Amazon, I have a price alert set up and buy it whenever it's there or less. Doesn't come up often but I don't drink much of it, although I'm not loving the new bottle so I'm saving a vintage one for a special occasion

 

I just drink ethanol, diluted to taste. It's affordable.

 

Waitrose are doing it for £28, I've just ordered a bottle, but as I'm self isolating I've added a bunch of groceries to get delivered. I guess I'll spend the next few evenings cooking

 

My own assesment is that it's very smooth, very drinkable, the sort of thing you could easily overdo without noticing
