SoCo and Lemonade with a slice of lime.

I drink Vodka lime and soda's or CC and Dry when I'm drinking post-mix drinks. Or some kind of Absinthe cocktail. Been working on a decent Applesinthe recipe.

Absinthe is disgusting.

Goon all the way!

Absinthe is an acquired taste.

For people with no tongue.

He looks like such a dick.

Which is appropriate, because he IS such a dick.

Didn't know you rolled that way. Good for you if that's the case. ;)

Figures that in the absence of bonkers and melbhearthammer to post homo-erotic images, Heineken picks up the torch. :roll:

Been viewing Maynard interviews on wine, Arizona and vineyards and have just started watching his 'Blood into Wine' movie.
I am suddenly craving and wanting to learn about and drink WIINEEEE.

Mmmmmmmmmm

Blood into Wine is a fascinating movie. And the stuff going on at his vineyard is pretty cool. Unfortunately you can't purchase the wine outside of the United States.

Any bartenders on here (looking at Heineken) who haven't already done so should sign up for Club Suntory. You get a free bar blade and a bottle opener with your name on it that fits in your wallet...and they send you cocktail recipes and stuff every couple of months and you get invites to special events n shit.

Did you sign up for it, for the free bar blade and bottle opener, or do you find it useful for stuff. :lol:

Partly for the free bar blade :lol: It looks pretty sweet. And because they send out a free monthly industry mag called "Barfly" which has info about local bars, events, and has cocktail recipes in it.

Just got back from a week in North NSW/Queensland, enjoyed XXXX and TED's for the week but couldn't suffer them regularly. But when your dad's mate is shouting you all night to see whether he can stil match it with the next generation, I'm not going to complain too much

I hate TEDs. They give me the worst hangover the next morning. Last time I drank them was with the Docter during a midweek game in Leichhardt. Must have downed 6 or 7 at the game, and went through a fair few schooners of them before and after at the pub up the road. The next day was dreadful. Couldn't even show up to Uni,

XXXX is awful. TED's are quite tasty. But yeah, the 'lighter' beers are killer on the hangover. Same with Coronas, even if they don't get me drunk on the night in question.

Corona. All about the Corona's.

I still don't know what the point of having a beer that you have to add something to, to give it flavour.

We have that on tap at work. It's not bad, but I prefer Coopers if I'm to have a Ale.

If you live in Sydney, and find it on tap give the Balmain Lager and Balmain Pale a go. It's top stuff. Back in the days when Balmain/Rozelle used to be a major working class area full of wharfies, there used to be a local Brew sold in most of the pubs (I think every pub back then had it's own brew, whatever) but the brewary in Balmain closed down in the 50's (I think), about 2 years ago, a couple of guys brought it back. A lot of the pubs in my area have brought it back, and I've even seen it on tap in Newtown, Surry Hills, The Rocks and places. It's a decent drop, might set you back a couple more dollars a schooner, but it's worth it.

It's good to see they're aiming to take on the likes of Lion Nathan and CUB.

Corona's are fine, nothing wrong with them, they're decent with or without lemon/lime.

What really GMG though at work (and it's always the 18, 19 YO girls) they come in and order a beer, nothing too fancy, Tooheys New or a VB/Carlton Draught, and they'll order it with Grenadine (rasberry flavouring) in it. The looks I give them could confuse Albert Einstein. I seriously don't get it. If you don't like the bitterness of beer, go for a Vodka and Coke, or something like most girls do. It looks ridiculous, too.

Grenadine is pomegranate, it's more sweet and sour. With Raspberry is called a snakebite...but it's usually made 50-50 with Cider and Beer and then the Raspberry. It gets people FUCKED UP.

Hey guys im considering having mates over in a couple of saturdays for pre-drinks and i was thinking of mixing it up and doing something different from the usual crap of byo and drinking your own beers etc.

Was wondering if anyone else has done a theme before and how expensive it would be to host it etc?
Im considering doing the whole thai bucket theme with either vodka redbulls and vodka pineapple/orange juice/sunrises.
The other option i was considering is having a cocktail themed one were everyone chucks in a certain amount of money and its a free for all for the pre's.
What would be a good ,easy and cheap cocktail to make that most people would generally enjoy?

As everyone knows, the best part of travelling overseas is the Duty Free Alcohol Shopping. Bought this:


and this:


For a grand total of about 60 bucks.

The best thing to do is look up a dozen cocktail recipes. Get a few bags of ice and a few mixers.

When you invite people over, tell them it's a cocktail party and assign them a specific alcohol to bring over (say Vodka, Gin, White Rum, Midori, Malibu, Tequila, Cointreau and a couple of girly liqueurs).

Write up the recipes and they can make up whatever they want. And they'll leave the bottles behind when they leave, so if there's anything left you get free booze!

One of my mates always orders TED with Wild Turkey in it. So weird but not bad.

Wild Turkey is a smokey bourbon, TED's are a very light flavoured beer. I can see how that would work.

There's a few guys at my bar who drink Alize and Apple Juice. Gay as a hat.

Bringing over the page for Duty Free appreciation.

Last time I went overseas I brought back this 'un.
