    Mixing Whiskey And Water

    I have watched so many videos of his. He always has amazing hacks and useful tricks for every day life. This video is pretty interesting. I think it would be a cool trick to show people on a whim. It'd probably work amazingly for bets as well.

    Ice Cold Beer In Under A Minute

    I haven't used this exact method, but I've done something extremely similar. My favorite way to get drinks ice cold fast is by taking a tray of ice and a small amount of water and rolling the bottles and cans in the pan. You roll the bottles and cans for at least 2-3 minutes. The beer becomes...

    Drink Making Resource Materials?

    I have never used any sort of guide. I don't usually make drinks at home because I feel like I would absolutely slaughter them. I have asked questions at the bar, but that's about it. I wonder if I were to use some of the apps people have mentioned, if it would help me.

    Cheapest Whisky

    I bought a bottle of Whisky from my local grocery store a few years ago. It was the most vile whisky I have ever tasted. I had a thought in my head that we were using the whisky for a large amount of mixed beverages, so the flavor wouldn't be too effected. It was absolutely terrible. I was young...

    Rolled Cuban Cigars

    I have never rolled my own cigar, but it looks like a ton of fun. I think it'd be nice to smoke on something that I created. Even if someone handed me the supplies to create, it would still feel good to know that I rolled a proper cigar. The video doesn't make the technique too complicated, but...

    Whickey Bar

    That's okay! I am really late on replying to a few messages on here as well. It's been a while since I last visit. I'm glad you replied to this because I had forgotten about this bar! It still sounds super intriguing. I have a feeling it would be one of the bars that makes you feel like you're...

    Best Beer Ad Ever!

    I am not a big fan of Budweiser, but this commercial gives me a good case of nostalgia. I know that it isn't the most entertaining commercial, but at the time, this commercial was super well known. I remember being a child and constantly quoting the talking frogs on television. I can't think of...

    Favorite Mixed Drink?

    I could see it working really well with strawberries. I really love fruit-based mixed drinks. Anything with added cream is simply a bonus. Sadly, with the cream comes the fattening/high calorie ingredients. It's far less expensive to make your own drinks at home, but it's a matter of knowing the...

    Beers And Pubs

    I experience the opposite when visiting the bars in my town. I frequent a bar called "W. Wolfskill" in California. It's a beautiful cocktail bar- which might be the reason people aren't ordering beers left and right. Their sister bar is called The Salted Pig, where beer is much more frequent...

    Does Your Family Drink Whisky Too?

    My family does not drink very often and I think it's due to alcoholism running in our family. We lost a family member years ago to a drunk driving accident, so I think that might be the reasoning they steer clear. My step father loves a nice wine on occasion though. He also enjoys scotch, but it...

    Favorite Mixed Drink?

    One of the best combinations I've ever had was a Peaches and Cream concept. They serve this at a local bar that I go to and I love it! It involves a mixture of vanilla ice cream, rum, peach syrup, and soda water. I know that they add a few other things to it, but I'm not quite sure what it is...

    Any Gamers Around Here?

    I definitely play my fair share of video games. I generally play on PC, but I'm open to playing other people's consoles, ha ha. My console lives in garage nowadays and has been there for some time. I play a lot of Dota 2 and Rocket League at the moment. My favorite video games are from the Tell...

    How Do You Prefer To Drink Your Whisky?

    It depends on the quality and flavor profile of the whisky, for me. If I am staring down the barrel of Jack Daniels or Jim Beam, they are usually a bit tamer, so I don't mind having them in a straight shot or even mixed with a cola. With more bold flavor profiles, I could still take a straight...

    Aged Or Young Whiskey?

    I know that feeling all too well. I avoid the older bottles most of the time. They tend to be much, much more expensive compared to the younger whisky available. The old whisky usually has a smoky flavor to me, while the younger whisky tastes like basic "whisky."

    Is Cider Grouped With Beers?

    That's true. Cider bottles are incredibly similar to beer bottles. I actually bought a cider bottle the other night, which ended up being incredibly similar to beer. They brewed the cider in a very similar way to beer. I forget the name of it, but it was interesting and made me think of this...

    What Is Your Regular Drink?

    Ah, that makes sense as to why I haven't seen it. The fact that it's not from the US actually makes me more interested in trying it. I wonder if they ever ship into the US Bevmo? Unless it's over the legal alcohol content.

    Beer Bellies

    I never knew this. I always assumed that a belly with that shape was due to beer alone. I guess it makes sense that eating habits would play into the beer belly, but for some reason it's something I never really thought about, heh. Genetics playing a part always sounded funny to me. I think...

    Your Favorite Rum

    I don't think I've ever heard of Havana Club. I'm going to have to look into that. I've been trying to find a rum that I DO like. I don't have very much experience with rum, so any suggestions are awesome since I have little to no experience. :) Do you think I'd be able to find Havana Club at...

    What Is Your Regular Drink?

    That's not boring at all, though! There are so many different beers to choose from. You can almost always find a decent beer to taste, so long as you're at a bar that provides good craft beer. I never drink at home, so I'm right there with you. When I do drink at home it's either a good beer or...

    What You Sipping

    I don't have a photo to share, but I am currently drinking coffee. When it comes to what I've been drinking lately (alcohol related) - I've had my hands on wine lately. Currently, I have a Cupcake wine that tastes fairly good. It wouldn't be my first choice, but it's not too disappointing.
