I've heard good things about Jameson Irish Whiskey so I picked up a bottle this afternoon along with some other booze for a band Christmas party tomorrow night. I just sampled it. This is some good stuff! To me... it has a sweet, salty aftertaste. A nice big glass of it might be good with a tub of popcorn but I'll give that a try some other time.

After a couple of shots of the Jameson, I tried a bit of my old standard Glenfiddish and Glenlevit. I think the Jameson may have won out. Hat's off you Irish folks! Good booze!

Of course I like it straight. Why put other stuff in with good whiskey?!

I've heard good things about Jameson Irish Whiskey

Jameson's is a lovely Irish Whiskey, one of my favorites. If I may suggest, try some Tullamore Dew (neat with ice water back), a smoky initial "hit" with a sweet back bite. A bottle will last me two years as it is a special occasion drink. Enjoy.

Oh yeah, in keeping with the "spirit" of the post: Hazel Nut Coffee from Hawaii with Vanilla creamer. I'll drink the pot!

Well... after last Tuesday's party... me having a couple of 'sips' over the last few days... and the beginning preparations last night of 'The Roast Beast' for today's celebration.... the Jameson's is about gone. There are a few other 'interesting' things to try today beginning with a set of Sheridan's Creme and Coffee Liquor. It IS a little past Noon here. Maybe it's time to head for the kitchen to see if I can entice the cooks a bit!

Honestly, I'm never drinking anything "right now" - i.e., while posting. I usually drink up, then post. Or post, then drink, but anyway not often concurrently. So I guess it hardly matters that the following drink was not only not right now, it was several days ago. And very far away, on a small island near Puerto Rico.

On our recent visit to Puerto Rico, one of my objectives was to have a daiquirí per what I understand to have been the original recipe: white rum, lime juice, sugar, on cracked ice. Like a caipirinha, but with rum instead of cachaça. I thought that might be an instantly recognizable concept to Puerto Rican bartenders, might even be something like the national drink. Instead, they mostly seemed to have a frozen drink in mind and were perplexed by the choice of lime instead of strawberry or banana. One bartender professed to recognize a "classic daiquirí", but I take points off because it was on slush, not cracked ice. I usually settled for a mojito.

Anyway, Tuesday we dined at a small, casual place on this small island, and I indulged in a second drink and launched into my description. The bartender/waiter/owner interrupted me with "lime, rum, on the rocks?", and repeated this formula, so I assented, and that's what he delivered. No sugar, just lime juice (from limes grown in his back yard), and rum, on ice. At first, of course it was pretty sour, but the combination grew on me, and it went very well with my food. I'd do it again, given 1) good, fresh limes and 2) food.

That drink was food for thought. I propose that mixed drinks at the dinner table might be better a little drier (and conversely, wine for non-dinner purposes could be a little sweeter - moscato is a particularly delicious example.) Next time I'm at a Mexican restaurant I'll see what they have instead of the usually punch-like margarita ... may have to settle for a straight tequila or mescal.

Bort and Tubatinker - try McAllen 18 year old; a little pricey but oh so good!

Sierra Nevada Torpedo Pale Ale. Not nearly as uber-hoppy and bitter as I like, but a nice ale with my soup.
