Ask the local curmudgeon (me) anything related to tech or liquor. :)

Shot of sloe gin, double shot of Southern Comfort, with orange juice.
Like a screwdriver, sort of.
I call it a sloe comfortable screw.

So okay Erik serious question. Leftover pina colada. Whole blender thingy goes in the freezer. Okay. Got it. But then next night when you want more and its all frozen solid, what then? I’m thinking add more rum (a lot more rum!) which being warm (and alcohol) will loosen it right up. Which is what I’m looking for, loosened up. Or would it be better to just get it out and let it thaw while I go turn on the system. So they both warm up together?

Amateur! As a professional mixologist I hope you know I would never ruin the ideal proportions of any drink just to add more alcohol! That is not what you do. You switch to straight shots!

Well the Waring Professional comes with little rubber feet. Which as michaelgreene has pointed out many times excessive damping results in mooshy margaritas. When properly tuned the pina colada opens up and you can see the coconut and pineapple spread deep and wide across the room in front of you. Or you could just forget to put the lid on, same result. 

Making pina coladas last night and maybe it was the spiced rum but it sure seemed they came out better running the Waring Professional blender with the Synergistic Research Master Coupler. Why do they even bother selling blenders with stock factory power cords???!

Here, hear! But let's not forget that malted barley can also be roasted, sparged, fermented and bottled into a tasty carbonated ale! No distillation necessary!

Ribeye, asparagus, green beans, chopped salad with dried cherries and blue cheese. Should I open the cheap (but 92 points tasty!) Spanish Red, Chianti Classico, or the Kirkland or Dunham Cabernet? I know the Dunham will probably be the best, but its 2016 kinda rather give it another year or so. The Kirkland Oakville is great, but no more for a while so kinda like to sit on that one too. Or at least save these for some evening where I’m not so rushed. Which oh yeah, no time to listen tonight either. Dang. Maybe just crack open a bottle of beer, call it good.

Okay so, Black Butte Porter? Widmer Hefeweizen? Too light for the steak? Got a real nice Belgian... Mac & Jack’s African Ale...dang this is hard! erik!! Quick before dimthinkster can paste one of his terrible troll trifectas....

The Humours of Whiskey

  While a child in me cradle, me nurse with her ladle
Was filling my mouth with a notion of pap
When a drop from her bottle fell into me throttle
I stumbled and capered clean out of her lap

On the floor I lay crawlin' and screamin' and bawlin'
'Til me mother and father were called to the fore
All sobbing and sighing they feared I was dying
till they found I only was a cryin' for more.

Save the Ales. Why? Do they improve with age?

I'm the richest man in the world. I have one quadrillion dollars. Says so right here on this Zimbabwe dollar bill.
I don't drink often. But when I do, I drink a lot.
Stay thirsty my friends.
