Name your poison….

Cuba libre is a very simple and nice drink. (Rum, coca-cola, and lime)
Another favorite is The irish Carbomb (i belive it´s named, not entirelly sure) , A big beer glass, fill half with Beer, half with Coca-cola, and takes a shot glass with Dissarono, drop the shotglass into the Beer/coca glass and enjoy.

is that what you’ve been callin it son? shoot, you got it all wrong. take 1 pint guinness, take a shot glass, fill half with bailey’s, half with jameson’s, drop it in, and chug. gotta do it fast though, once the jamesons hits the baileys, its countdown to curdling. pour the baileys in first, hold the shot over the pint, pour the whiskey, and DROP. then chug immediately.

Ewww….Coke & beer? Yuck…
Wish I could remember the “Darth Vader” recipe we once came up with. We basically tried to make it black and strong (and it was awful :lol: )

Well then i know it´s not named that……
But it´s not my own invention, i got it from my sister in UK.
But if anyone would know what it is called it would be fun to know. Have to test that “real” thing thought.

Irish Car Bombs are delicious, I actually had a few last night, yummy. You can only do so many though, because its ALOT of fluid, beyond the alcohol content (which is considerable, being both beer AND liquor)

I’m just wondering why one would ruin good beer and whiskey by mixing it together (with Bailey’s, no less) and then chugging it. You let Jameson’s age so many years just to have it fade into the background. Isn’t that a crime?!?!?
-
Have you tried an Irish Car Bomb? Im not being rude, but you honestly should try one before passing judgement.
-
Porch climbers anyone?
One can of lemonade concentrate, one beer, one mickey of vodka.
don’t whine - just try it.

No, you are absolutely right. In all my years, I don’t recall having one - but that’s partially because my drinking habits have changed quite a bit (the ICB looks like an effective method to get $hitty ASAP, and I rarely drink to get drunk). I just kinda equated that drink with funneling a good beer, as in why get good stuff if you are not going to savor it? I like each one of those drinks on their own - particularly Guiness and Jameson’s - and it seems like a waste of money to mix & chug. Anyway, since my birthday is next week (along with my bro’s 21st) I’ll be out, so maybe I’ll try it then and give my final verdict.
Oh yeah, I’ve got to recommend a bourbon & coke. It has to be coke, and mixing it to perfection can be tricky, but it’s a simple and tasty drink (as long as your have good bourbon).

I like whiskey sours pretty well, so this one might be up my alley.

Memories of the IRA.What next?
9/11s or WTCs !?!

…poisons…
in order of volume consumed :- Tap water with reconstituted lemon juice or fresh Lemon/lime,
- Chocolate(preferably dark,)
- Wine (veeery sweeeeet, e.g., Meier’s Catawba, Manachievitz[sp?] Concord)…any worldwide or regional recommendations appreciated!! and
- a Titanic(my own concoction…one glass of the most expensive wine/champagne in the house, one shot of a well known, well respected whiskey/bourbon as Jim Beam/Johnny Walker/Southern Comfort and the rest of the MUG of the cheapest sweet house wine…_on the rocks!_Â Expensive, but one will do it…preferably imbibed early if I’m driving.
A few of my friends like it, too, but it’s best tried a # of dates to find your own taste treat.
Remember, beer, coffee, pop and many other things we put in our mouths are acquired tastes.

El Jefe,
If you like sweet wines, allow me to recommend MOST North Carolina wines that use Muscadine grapes.
Two good vinyards for sweet Muscadine wines are
Duplin in Rose Hill, NC
and
Hinnant in Smithfield, NCNot sure about web sites or shipping, but a quick google should find them…
-
Well if you want sweet wine i would recomend Tokaj wine (from Hungary), it´s very good.

Anything sweet & alcoholic messes with me too much (except Coke, strange enough…). If anything, I can maybe get away with it on a good day, if that’s ALL I drink. I try to stick to the dry red wines, but I know someone who might like that recommendation, Nix.
-
General warning for the substance called Tequila…… Yes you get drunk, but strange… Stay away from it… :-P
-
For warmth and happiness followed by bleary oblivion… Tequila
For A&A madness… shots of Bushmills, chased by Pepsi and Rolaids
For casual fun… Geary’s Winter or Harvest Ale (a spicy brown microbrew made in Portland, Maine). Yum.
For thirst quenching after yard work… cold Budweiser, but only two.
For sheer pleasure… Guiness on tap. To double that pleasure, a Black and Tan (Bass with Guiness floating pleasantly on top)
-
I personally can’t get enough water, and must say it has quite a quick especially after strenuous sports activities! :-D
-
Are you sure water’s a poison…?

roflol… Best retort I have heard in a while… Thanks for making my day!

Oh yeah…I’ve fallen in love with Guinness again. Awesome stuff, and, surprisingly, I’ve never had a Black & Tan. Time to do so.
And now that summer is coming around, we’re entering Boddington days. :-) -
GG- it’s true, there’s no poison quite like a nice tall glass of refreshing icewater…Â :-D
Jermofoot- listen closely. Through much experience, and with many failures, I’ve become the Black and Tan expert amongst the group that I drink with.
Here’s the deal- bottled Stout does not work. Don’t try it, you’ll be disappointed. Stout on tap will work when attempted by a trained professional (I’ve seen it done and tasted it in Ireland). You have to use the draught. Bottled or canned doesn’t matter, but either way it has to be very cold. If not it will sink. This is the cause of many failed B&Ts (the beer drinking equivalent to Don Rae’s assertion that improper purchasing habits is the cause of all player death. Period.). The upside is you drink it anyways, and you still love every drop. Anyhow, the glass is important as well. The bottom can’t be too wide, or again the Guiness ends up dropping rather than floating. Use a standard glass that widens as you near the top- like you’d see in a typical bar. You’ve already poured it 2/3 full with cold Bass. Finally, take a tablespoon and hold it just below the rim of the glass, with the tip touching the glass. Slowly and gently pour the Guiness onto the tablespoon, allowing the Guiness to run from the spoon, onto the inside of the glass, and down onto the Bass. It will sink about halfway down into the Bass, but will float back to the top. If you pour too fast the Guiness will stay intermingled and you end up with a frothy brown drink rather than a Black and Tan. Like I said, it still tastes good, so no big deal. It just doesn’t look as good or provide the same sense of accomplishment.
By no means do you use an alternative for the Bass- Killians, for example, is prettied up Budweiser and is completely inferior. I know a guy who makes them with Killians. DON’T DO IT. IT’S NOT WORTH IT! If you’re going to spend the extra on Guiness, spend the extra on Bass to go with it.
(As an aside, when I’m watching football I often run to the kitchen and pour the two gleefully together, uncaring as to the asthetics. So in all reality there is no such a thing as failure.)
Man are they delicious. Please report back to me once you’ve tried it and tell me if it works for you. Here endeth the lesson.
