Didn't you hear? Bacardi and Cola, they get the job done. Also, with Diet Cola, you get 0 sugar and 0 carbs....now who wants to party?

Geez this is gonna look bad.

I drink Pepsi One and Fiji Water.  I didn't know water could taste that good.    I use alcohol to disinfect personal hygiene products such as nail clippers and tweezers.

Adding my drink.

Because I gave up all soda, and it dyes your liver and kills you DEAD. I drink Clear American from Walmart. Hate Walmart, and I most of the time refuse to step foot in there, but the Clear American water tastes exactly like soda. Exactly. Very very little difference.


Oatmeal Cookie, alcohol wise, are my favourites:

chilled cocktail glass over ice.

Yum.

My roommate just out of college and myself tried to kill ourselves with this drink a few to many years ago.. though it was Jager, Baily's and Gold for our mix.  Tasted the same.  Had a cute bartender hook us up one night down on Dauphin Street in Mobile, Al.. she was the devil but damn she looked good.  So, we decided the next party we would set up everyone with Oatmeal cookies.. well, we bought a bottle of each and between the fifteen of us polished it all off.. Don't remember that night much, still like the drink though.

Current favorite drink, Shot of Grande Marnier followed up with Mich Ultra.  Not the best beer, but a good combo.

My personal favorite alcoholic beverage is a Midori Sour, but there are a variety of different ways to make it so you can never be sure what you're getting when you order one.  Generally it's 1 part Midori, 1 part Sweet-and-Sour, and sometimes you find a shot of Vodka mixed in as well.  I prefer to top mine off with Sprite.

I think you can actually deviate from this recipe and build your own as long as it includes the Jager and Bailey's. I had one bartender use Red Hot instead of the cinnamon schnapps, he added some sprinkled cinnamon and it tasted the exact same a way. A friend had them add Kahlua instead of Bailey's and again, no difference. I remember about ten years ago sitting with friends in a pool hall drinking shots of kamikazes and shots of oatmeal cookies. Then trying to walk.

I haven't taken much to the drink since then.

I know, nothing to do with gaming or software, which explains why half the time my posts are either extremely dated or otherwise reek of someone who has no idea what the hell she's talking about. But I've been geeking out for about 15 years, if that's good for anything!

My favorite drink is my own invention (and copy if you wish, but give credit where it's due):

Ginger saketini

1 oz. vodka
2 oz. pear-flavored sake
fat splash of ginger syrup (recipe follows)

Serve straight up in a martini glass (shaken with ice), or on the rocks if you like your drinks watered-down and nasty.

Especially nice in the summer, this drink makes you feel cool, yet warm and fuzzy at the same time. I tried garnishing with a piece of gari once, with mixed results.

Ginger syrup:
3 cups cold water
1 cup sugar
1 fat hand of ginger, peeled, sliced into coins
optional: coupla cloves and star anise pods

Put all that shit in a pot and bring to a simmer. Let it do its thang for about half an hour. Strain and chill. Nummers! This syrup is also good with soy sauce and sesame oil on some sticky rice.

Isn't 'DNA Geneticist' kinda redundant? Isn't it like saying I'm a 'Plant Botanist'?

When relaxing at home it's a bottle of Louis Martini Cab, preferably '98 though the 2001 has been pretty good so far.  Outside working around the farm means two 4-packs of Boddington's Ale to cut the heat.  Camping or scuba diving it's Wild Turkey Rare Breed or the Macallen Fine Oak 18.
