Gave a little time over the weekend to deciding what I’m going to get sensibly and royally pissed up with over the Christmas break. Reckon it will be largely based around negroni’s, martini’s and manhattans.

The Mem Saab bought me a nice book on negroni’s by a mush called Matt Hranek, which has offered some good variations, but I wanted to canvass this forum to see if there’s any suggestions on what spirits you use in cocktails? Do you really need rye in a manhattan? What’s your favourite vermouth? That sort of thing.

Also interested in whisky / whiskey suggestions. I know there is a rum thread somewhere which was good, but I’ve never really given rum too much time when perhaps I should have.

Of course, you may just be a bunch of cunts that are only interested in getting wankered on wifebeater, but my days of glugging stella are long gone!

Cheers.

Is Negroni brewed under licence by Heineken?

Didn’t we have a Single Malt thread?

MoT is our expert on that

Yep we did

Only one thing to drink to achieve this, over the festive period, is port with copious amounts of cheese.

Kingston Negroni with a good aged rum replacing the gin. It’s a winner.

Mrs P_F bought a bottle of Martini for her SiL who was supposed to come for Xmas drinks in 2019.
Still here if you want to collect it

Do you know of anywhere local to buy it? I can only find it on amazon.

Make my own negroni’s. Go to is Plymouth Gin, Cocchi vermouth, campari. Have tried Cynar instead of campari, which is OK.

Gin.

Only that and MSG I seem to be allergic to.

MSG makes me feel awful Gin? The dmell & I gag

No - can’t find it in the supermarkets.

Some online wine merchants have it so maybe some of the local ones do

I have found a local brewery / close enough anyway


The purple one is not nice
