I had a couple Manhattans at Botto's in Swedesboro tonight. They have a house bourbon and use Antica for the vermouth. Ends up being the best Manhattan I can find in a restaurant.
OT: What are you all drinking tonight
- Thread starter Jersey Boys
- Start date
Yeah, I was sipping the water, but it was heavily diluted with scotch.
Very carefully, you don't want to sprain your tongue.
Downed two pints of Belhaven Best Friday afternoon at Teuchters pub, a local hangout in Edinburgh. Heading upcountry today to Milngavie to begin hiking the West Highland Way on Sunday. More regional pints to come as well as a wee dram or three....
For you scotch drinkers, what whisky should I be sampling in the Highlands?

Since Black Eyed Susans are among the least manly cocktails ever devised, I'm instead going to be making Preakness cocktails for the Preakness today. Almost verbatim to a Manhattan but with a little Benedictine in there. To truly make it a Baltimore staple, use Sagamore for the rye.
How old is it? I have a bottle of the 12 which is almost empty, gonna have to replace that soon. By the way, the correct pronunciation is: BOO-nə-HAV-in.
So I enjoyed a glass of this tonight, Abhainn Dearg 10yo. My colleague at my last job picked it up for me 2 years ago when he was vacationing in Scotland.
Having some Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest's tonight. I wanted to try something different then the Sam Adams version. I think I like the Sierra version better tbh. I also picked up Founder Ultimate Oktoberfest that I have yet to try.
Been drinking Fistmas this weekend. Got the tree up and all lights hung yesterday while enjoying a Rutgers win. Felt strange hanging lights in short sleeves

My son Tyler rolled in around 6PM from Virginia: he had an open bottle from his wine tasting a couple of days ago. It's:
2022
Gran Passione
Rosso
It's really good. He said they just got it in the wine shop and have already sold 16 bottles of it.

Character, taste, aromas
St.Bernardus Christmas Ale is an intensely dark beer with a full, yet slightly fruity flavour, overflowing with the tastes of winter and zesty seasonal aromas. Aniseed notes are complemented by hints of creamy caramel and fire-roasted chestnuts. This zestiness shows no signes of abating, pushing through to a magnificent finish of dried fruits and chocolate. Just like all of our beers, this brew bears the imprint of the unique St.Bernardus yeast (dating back to 1946), that gives it its own special complexity. Simply stated, St.Bernardus Christmas Ale is the perfect degustation beer to warm your heart and bring a glow to your loved ones on a cold winter night.
Decided to break out the Blue to enjoy with Tyler and Corey:
