carinab Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 kryddat brännvin = swedish Snapsordningen - Shot Drink Order: 1. Helan - Whole 2. Halvan - Half 3. Tersen - Third 4. Quarten - Fourth 5. Quinten - Fifth 6. Sexten - Sixth 7. Septen - Seventh 8. Rivan - a scratch 9. Räfflan - a shallow groove (as in ploughed) 10. Rännan - a trench 11. Smuttan - a sip 12. Smuttans unge - the sip's child 13. Lilla Mannase - a small encouragement 14. Lilla Mannasses bror - small encouragements brother 15. Femton droppar - fifteen drops 16. Kreaturens återuppståndelse - The animal comes out 17 Ett evigt liv - Eternal life För ingenting är så klart som sprit som vodka och akvavit. Och ingenting är så gott och lent som vinbärs och riktigt rent. Vi ska fylla våra tarmar och lyfta våra armar ta mycket brännvin och bli så full så vi alla ramlar omkull. You got to appreciate a culture that has defined a name for each shot drank. My DNA is engineered for drinking. My ancestors trudged through snow to get Aquavit.

Precision40 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Bookers Whiskey is my fav. 3 shots of that and everyone begins to look good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 While akvavit is good (jubileum being my favorite), it's not commonly found at a local watering hole (unless you're in scandanvia). So the drink I currently order is a dirty martini. Sharon Zaffiro introduced me to them at the nationals in Bend. Besides, it's fun to tell the wait staff that you want it dirty! Hey now! Not like that! I mean it in that "spaghetti western - in a dirty glass" style, as in tough! Geeesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it in that "spaghetti western - in a dirty glass" style, as in tough! Geeesh! Of course that's what you meant Southern Comfort on the Rocks, double. If I really mean it, naked Tequila with a beer back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geezer-lock Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Makers Mark is the best. Yes it is. Yep! Was in Louisville this past Christmas and had samples! My new fav: Makers Mark neat, no cigar. geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sargenv Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Hmm.. If it's something with dinner, Vodka collins, generally with either Absolut Citron or Mandarin. Otherwise as an after dinner drink, I go for one of the vintage ports. Depending on how decadent I'm feeling, older is generally better, but also much more expensive. I tend to go for 10-15 bucks a glass. Vince Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
et45 Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Knob Creek or Gentleman Jack.I have been meaning to get around to trying Bookers and Single Barrel Jack.Bushmills Irish whiskey ain't too bad either.I work with a guy who makes the smoothest "Spring Water" . in East Tn.

ErikW Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 I didn't have a drop of alcohol in all of 2004. Then my brothers and I got together and I was corrupted. (Gambled, too.) Baileys and coffee after snowboarding. Baileys bonus: chicks dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shooter Grrl Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 An easier question would be "what don't you like"! For me, there's only 1 that fits in this category; cough syrup!

benos Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Any vodka drinkers out there? The local experts (who all work fancy local bar/wine bar/restaurant) were raving about a new vodka - Hangar One. Pretty good stuff, and reasonably priced, if you can find it. And also recently discovered a very good sipping-guality tequila that is also very reasonably priced - El Jimador. ($23 at Tops) It's on par with $50+ tequilas...

DJPoLo Posted February 22, 2005 Share Posted February 22, 2005 Any vodka drinkers out there? <raises hand> My current favorite is Tito's Handmade Vodka. Made right here in Austin, Texas. Distilled SIX times! The best I have tasted yet. Hands down. -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessej Posted February 22, 2005 Author Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hey BE, You're right about that El Jimador! Goes down smooth with a slight hint of Agave. You can always tell if the manufacturer adds artificial color or additional additives to their Tequila. Right now, I'm into Jagermeister. Two big bottles in a week. Maybe I would drink less if I shoot more The latter being the optimum choice. Cheers, jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Rhines Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 While Maker's Mark is very good indeed, it has not a patch on Noah's Mill 15yr., the finest small-batch bourbon I've ever tasted. Really smoky at first, then a carmel and brown sugar aftertaste that just goes on forever. - Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Any vodka drinkers out there? Ah yes, vodka....very close to akvavit! Did I mention my dirty martinis are made with vodka and not gin? My staple vodka is Skyy. Triple filtered which means very little toxins (translation: not as likely to cause a hangover). Of course my secondary citizenship may be revoked if I do not say a kind word about Absolut. A chocolate martini made with Absolut Vanilla and Godiva Liquer is a sure fire remedy for PMS....

.40AET Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I didn't have a drop of alcohol in all of 2004. Hence the "M" in Limited. I've been tortured with the idea of going on the wagon for a month (gasp!) and just practicing after the kids go to bed. Still thinking....2 rum and tonics later....still not practicing. There's always tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outerlimits Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Any Turley Zinfandel, or any california cab from 1974...problem is that's the price of an SVI frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I'm pretty much a purist when it comes to most things, especially alcholic beverages, however (and I almost hate to admit this publicly), lately I've been enjoying a fine chocolate beverage - On the rocks... Van Gogh's Dutch Chocolate Vodka, Bailey's, and a splash of Creme de Cacao. Man is that a tasty beverage. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Mmmmm, Bailey's.....That drink also sounds like a good cure as well.... Guess I'm one of the few around here that suffers from THAT particular malady...Unless PMS stands for Pissed over Missed Shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessej Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Please keep 'em coming. I know those that have a passion for our sport have a passion for life. Let's shoot and drink to celebrate life! I remember after I found out about the Tsunami tragedy, right before new years eve, I cried looking at my computer screen. My friends called me out to go to a party at a hotel and I didn't want to go 'cause I was massively depressed. I had a smoke on my balcony and said I will go to celebrate for those that can't! On a side trip! I had an interesting conversation with my 56 yr old buddy tonight. He said, "Life without fear is impossible." I beg to differ, vehemently! Sorry for the blogging, just something I wanted to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtm Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Cazadores Tequilla and Oro de Azteca Brandy. Those are my store bought choices. For liquer it would have to be Skywalker76s home made...er what ever it was he gave me at the ESC in 2003, it was DEVINE. For fermented, My apple cider and Porter beer!
