@Polski_Filip

May we refer the poster to the title of this thread?
Which contains the word
Sensible?

it is only a title and like Andrews does not mean anything

[Numptyboi]

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

[Polski_Filip]

Yep we did

The Single Malt Thread

OK, if there is a dedeicated thread to the hairy arsed pirate drink, then we should honour the nector of life with its own… This Christmas, Santa has been very kind. As a devotee of Islay (prounounced Eye-la, by way) heavily peated malts, with some nice older and rarer examples in my modest collection, this new addition will not be out of place and be opened and tasted on Christmas day. I am hopeful it will be exceptional, and given its rather excessive price, it had better be [Laphroaig 25 Ye…

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.

[Polski_Filip]

[BTripz]

Alupurinol sees to that…

Saving this for Christmas Day.

Punt e Mes is my favourite vermouth

[Polski_Filip]

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

[Numptyboi]

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

[Numptyboi]

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

[Polski_Filip]

Gin.

Only that and MSG I seem to be allergic to.

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

[CB-Saint]

No - can’t find it in the supermarkets.

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

[PhilippineSaint]

I have found a local brewery / close enough anyway

[PhilippineSaint]

The purple one is not nice

[Polski_Filip]

Whoever thought it was an idea to mzke honey beer should be shot, hung, drawn and quartered and kept alive to watch the skates every week.
